Customers say: Quick response

"Carlos showed up early to my office on a Saturday morning, and finished the replacement of the electrical panel (circa 1940's) with a more up to date one with extra breakers for future expansion, all in record time. He was neat, tidy and efficient, and explained everything he was doing without being asked, in easy to understand "layman's" terms. I will use his services for any future electrical work and will gladly and enthusiastically recommend him to any one I come into contact with who asks for a recommendations for someone to help them with their electrical needs."

"I had Excellence Electric install a Tesla charger in my garage. The job was difficult and required a replacement upgraded 200 amp circuit breaker with a 60 amp power line pulled through the attic across the house and dropped down into the garage where the Tesla charger port needed to be installed. Raymond at Excellence Electric completed the job on schedule, took care of all of the HOA and city permits, and kept me updated all the way through the process. I can highly recommend Raymond at Excellence Electric with out hesitation for any electrical work needed on your home or office. Kyle Webb Casa Del Sole residence"

"Chris was excellent and patient as the electrical work that needed to be done was challenging. I had already purchased a light fixture, he took a look at the area where the work needed to be done and told me his price of $180.00. Having had electrical work done many times I knew his price was very reasonable. I hired him on the spot to put in an electrical box into the ceiling and connect it to the light switch, then install a flush mount LED light fixture onto the ceiling. Chris was prepared to do the job right then. He brought with him his tools, blankets to protect the floor and all the wire, electrical box, etc to complete the job. He chose to go up in a narrow and tight crawl space to send the wire down and out of the open light switch box rather than cut a hole in the bedroom wall. I'm very happy with the work that was done and now have his number on my phone for future electrical work. Highly recommend!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

There are several indicators that a single-pole switch is bad: the switch is warm or hot to the touch, sparks are sometimes present when turning the switch on or off, you hear a buzzing sound or other weird noise coming from the switch, the connected light flickers when you turn on the switch, and the light doesn't turn on at all with the switch. If you notice any of these, replace the switch or call a pro straight away.

Yes, tamper-resistant outlets are designed to be safe for use in homes with children. They feature a spring-loaded shutter that blocks the electrical slots when not in use, which helps protect children from electric shock if they try to insert an object. While they are the safest option available and highly effective, it's important to note that few things are truly 'childproof.' Children may still try to imitate adults by inserting a plug. For this reason, it's best to use tamper-resistant outlets over less effective solutions like plastic covers, which can be removed or pose a choking hazard. Always supervise young children around any electrical outlets or devices.

By nature, two-prong outlets aren't grounded—but the box they run to might be, which makes them safer. The safest way to test if an outlet is grounded is to purchase a circuit tester, which cost about $20 at home improvement stores. 

If you discover your outlet (or outlets) aren't grounded, know that this greatly increases your risk of personal injury and electrical fires. You may want to consider installing new three-prong ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets. On average, the cost to install GFCI outlets is about $210 per outlet.

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

Watts and volts represent distinct aspects of a light bulb’s functionality. Volts measure the electrical force that drives the current through the bulb, determining its compatibility with the power source. Watts, on the other hand, quantify the bulb’s power consumption and indicate its brightness level. Higher watts generally mean a brighter bulb.
