Our pledge is to create successful relationships with our customers, employees and community by building trust, treating every project with the utmost integrity and exceeding expectations. We look forward to working with you!

"John from City Wide Electric was incredibly responsive—he quickly reached out, provided a clear quote, and scheduled the work without delay. He arrived on time on the day of the job and worked efficiently and professionally throughout. The project involved removing two recessed lighting ballasts from our kitchen and installing six new can lights. John completed the electrical work in about 2.5 hours. Shortly after, his drywall crew arrived to mud and texture the ceiling, seamlessly blending the new areas with the existing surface. Both John and the drywall team did an outstanding job. They were respectful of our space and left the kitchen spotless, just as clean as when they arrived. Best of all, everything was completed in a single day. I highly recommend City Wide Electric for their quality workmanship, professionalism, and excellent customer service. "

Scott has passed the highest level of electrical examinations in California to become a state certified journeyman electrician and licensed, bonded and insured electrical contractor. Modern Edison, Inc., offers a wide range of electrical services including complete home rewire, additions and remodels, electrical power and lighting installations, troubleshooting and repair, energy efficiency and renewable energy, internet, cable TV, telephone, security cameras/lighting, and more. Easy to work with and on time, Scott provides very clean and professional installations, following all codes and safety regulations.

"Working with the owner, Scott, was really great. He is attentive, patient with all my questions and takes the time to discuss every detail. His pricing was also competitive. However, the installation of the main panel itself left me frustrated. Even though the work was completed and everything is working, the messy wiring inside the brand new panel left a lot to be desired. Admittedly, I don't ever see it, but another electrician that is adding a circuit to it now has to deal with the mess where it could have been so much cleaner and easier to work with. "

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Inverter generators are designed to turn on the engine when your appliances demand more energy. This is in contrast to running at full capacity as soon as they’re turned on, like a standard portable generator does. So long as the wattage rating is high enough, an inverter can power a refrigerator just as well as a traditional generator.

While you can plug most electrical items into a GFCI outlet, some with stationary motors, which experience a small amount of current leakage, such as vent fans or fluorescent lighting, can cause tripping. For this reason, it’s often best to plug them into a standard outlet. This can also be a problem if the circuit is over 100 feet long. Some appliances, such as hair dryers, have built-in GFCI protection, so connecting them to a standard outlet is fine.

The safest way to pull an electrical cord from the wall outlet is by gently but firmly grabbing the plug and pulling it out. Pulling on the cord instead of the plug can cause damage to the cord, leading to an increased risk of electrical problems like fire or electric shock. If you notice damaged wiring on an appliance or device, it’s best to stop using it immediately.

Track lighting typically needs to be hardwired, connecting directly to the electrical wiring in your ceiling for a permanent and reliable power source. Hardwiring provides a clean and professional look with no visible cords. However, plug-in track lighting options can be connected to a standard electrical outlet, offering easier installation and flexibility. The choice between hardwired and plug-in track lighting depends on your needs, preferences, and existing electrical setup.

Unless you’re a licensed electrician with extensive experience in upgrading electric panels, you must hire a professional for any electrical work. A licensed electrician will make sure your breaker is upgraded safely and in compliance with local codes. Your pro will also take care of any permits and inspections that are needed.
