"He took an outdated, challenging Zinsco electrical panel and replaced it along with the old wires. The metal house siding was reinstalled and looks so professional! Jeremy has earned every dollar for making my home a safer place to live."

"We recently had Mega Power Electric Inc install a solar system and panels. The President and provided excellent communication all the way through the process. He even met with us after installation to explain the almost incomprehensible PG&E bill. Although not the least expensive bid, his was competitive and I felt he was as interested in educating me about solar and the various types of panels and inverter systems as he was in selling a system. He demonstrated how the array of panels would meet our energy needs and as opposed to some of the other companies, wasn't selling us more than we needed. We are very satisfied with our solar system and I highly recommended Mega Power Electric Inc."
"LG Electric was great to work with from start to finish. Eric met with me prior to the start of the job to review the project and allowed me time for questions. Eric and his crew communicated with me on a regular basis about the job, progress, payment schedule and timeline. Their work was very clean and professional as was the entire crew. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for an electrician!"

"His name is Andrew Johnson. He is going to be doing our carport next. He does all of our electrical but he also does incredible solar. It was around $17,000 for the solar. We have a big house. You can't beat his prices. He doesn't have a huge company. His guys are great. He shows up when he says. He does meticulous work. The city's came out and told him right in front us that he did better than perfect. He lives in our neighborhood. He told him to get on Angie's List"
"Overall, it was a very pleasant experience with no real complaints to speak of. Overall they get an "A" rating from me, the only ding being a "B" for punctuality due to a postponed appointment. This might be due to the city inspector, but quite possibly because they were quite a few people handling my account which lead to some information confusion. The Verengo employees were always very courteous and up front about the information. You will find many resources prompting you to buy solar if you can, and I would agree, but if you don't have the $20k (estimated) then leasing it is the way to go and here's why: Your situation may vary, but my lowest electric bill (winter) was $120. We have a modest 2k sqft home with A/C and evaporative cooler. We use electricity responsibly, but we are power hungry in that I have a lot of air tools and appliances. In the summer the bill would push in the mid $500 range depending on how much I was willing to suffer through my evaporative cooler on the 110+ degree weather days. After the engineering, evaluation, installation, and initiation, my bill is a flat $128. Keep in mind that my lowest bill was $120 and I'm sure that included a vacation and a few days of maximizing darkness. Electric like fuel will never go down, and even though they will be slight* (you will have your increase schedule) it is still comparably lower than the electric company's yearly price hike. While I will not truly enjoy *free electric due to the lease, I did manage to lower my electric bill for years to come and the kicker is that I don't have to worry about the maintenance. To sweeten the deal, if I come across some money and pay my system off in advance, there are no penalties. So the system works, is remotely monitored, and I'm saving money. What other concern could you have? Installation? The conduit on the sides leading to the inverter were color matched to my home. I maintain my on evaporative cooler so I frequent the roof and know what things should look like up there. All of their work is sealed properly and positioned straight. They even repaired some previously cracked concrete tiles on my roof. I was impressed by their service.
Do your research if in the area, there are multiple solar companies trying to get your business. In the end I went with Verengo due to the customer service. I ended up being happy with the price as well. If you find this review helpful, mention me so we can both get added rebates ;).
"I'm very happy with the work that was done by Landmark construction and energy crew. At first, we met with Ron that came over and met with us about the issues that we had with our water heater and with the bills that we currently pay for electric. Ron recommended us to replace the bulky old water heater and to install a tankless system that will supply hot water immediately and with the use of less gas. We liked that idea and we decided to go for this project. Ron came over to our house with his 2 people that basically took care of all the removal and the installation of the new system. The work that they did took only 2 days from start to finish and now we have more space at the garage, and the bills are much lower than before…."
Electric bills tend to be lower in spring and fall because people use less electricity during these seasons. Milder temperatures allow for less use of heating and cooling, unlike during winter and summer, which usually bring more extreme temperatures.
Some portable cooktops are compatible with standard 120-volt outlets, but most induction (and electric) ranges and stoves need a dedicated 220- or 240-volt circuit and 40 to 50 amps to work. If you are replacing an old electric range with an induction one, you likely already have the proper outlet, but it’s worth checking with a local appliance installation company.
Even if you don’t have children living in your home, The National Fire Prevention Association still recommends installing tamper-resistant outlets when you’re replacing your existing outlets.
Not only is your home likely to change hands at some point, but you may have young children over as guests. Making the switch even if you don’t currently have children living with you at the moment will help protect any future pint-sized visitors to your home.
It’s not recommended to turn off your breaker box in hopes of saving electricity. Breaker boxes were not designed to constantly be switched on and off. Therefore, turning off breakers unnecessarily can cause costly damage that outnumbers any energy savings. Only flip your breakers if absolutely necessary when troubleshooting an electrical issue.
You can move an electric meter outside if you currently have one inside your home. This is considered a larger move, so be prepared to pay on the upper end of $600 to $1,200. When hiring a professional electrician to move your electric meter, be sure to specify its current location and desired location, including pictures if possible.
