"Responded immediately to our inquiry. Sent their guy, Israel, for inspection. Since the job was not complicated, we had him complete the job. He was very respectful, told us the problem, proceeded to complete the job. I would highly recommend CA Electrical Group."

"There was a buzzing sound coming from an electrical wall panel in my house. I was extremely nervous about the unknown problem and appreciate Hamilton’s electrical prompt response. The issue was resolved. I appreciated their willingness to come out as the office was closing at the end of the day. Kudos to them for the professionalism and concern that they had for the customer. I highly recommend them and will contact them for my upcoming electrical projects!"

"I am an Electrical Engineer by education and trade, working for several high-tech firms in Silicon Valley over a 45-year career, so I've never felt the need to call an electrician. But I know my limits and repairing an electrical open circuit routed in underground conduit is one of them. After trouble shooting the issue, I knew there was a break in the line so I called Mike at M3 electrical. He put me on his schedule, showed up on that date (even a little early) and in less than two hours had the issue fixed. Not only that, but he advised the type of 2-wire Romex that had failed was not the proper wire for an underground application. He pulled about 75 feet of the proper wire through the conduit and even installed a junction box at my street light for a clean installation. Costly you think? Not in my opinion! If I ever need electrical work done in the future, Mike is the guy I will call. I suggest you do as well. Mark S. A very happy customer"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Most LED bulbs have a plastic covering, while incandescent bulbs will be made from glass. This is because LED bulbs don’t produce as much heat as incandescent bulbs, so the covering doesn’t need to be as heat resistant. Also, an LED light bulb will usually have a marking on its base that identifies it as an LED.

It might seem tempting to use 14-gauge wires for your outlets, as they can run a little cheaper. But, when it comes to electrical work, it’s best not to cut costs less you overload your circuit. A 12-gauge wire will ensure that you’re protecting the outlet (and your circuit breaker) from any potential overloads that might incur, as it can handle a little more amplitude than a 14-gauge wire.

It can be safe to buy or live in a house with knob and tube (K&T) wiring, but only if the system is in good condition, functional, and has been thoroughly inspected and approved by a licensed electrician. Never purchase a home with K&T wiring without getting a professional electrical inspection first.

Key considerations include:

  • Safety and Condition: An inspector will verify that the wiring is safe and has not deteriorated. Over time, the insulation can wear away, leaving exposed wires that pose a significant fire or shock hazard.

  • System Capacity: The electrical service should be at least 60 amps. However, even at this capacity, K&T systems often struggle to handle the demands of modern appliances and electronics.

  • Lack of Grounding: Knob and tube wiring is an ungrounded system, which is a safety concern for many modern devices.

  • Ongoing Maintenance: If you live in a home with K&T wiring, it's recommended to have it inspected by an electrician every one to two years to ensure it remains in safe working order.

Ultimately, any inspection or modification of a knob and tube system should always be performed by a certified professional.

If your outlet is testing fine but keeps tripping, that’s a sign your GFCI outlet is working, but there’s a problem somewhere else. Try plugging in different devices and see if the outlet keeps tripping. If it’s not the appliance that’s causing the issue, it could be a problem in your wiring. Faulty wiring can be a source of electrical fires and other serious problems. We recommend arranging an inspection by an electrician if an outlet appears to be working but keeps tripping.

If all of the outlets in one room suddenly stop working, it’s likely the result of a tripped circuit breaker. This easy-to-resolve malfunction is caused by overloading the circuit with too many working appliances at the same time. Locate the tripped breaker in your electrical panel and reset it to restore power.
