"A truly friendly and professional electrician. He didn't just "hear" what I wanted but actually "listened" and provided valuable feedback. I would definitely hire again for any electrical project!"

"Jeff and his crew did a great job upgrading the electrical panels at my 6-unit apartment building. The whole experience from start to finish has been exceptional and would highly recommend Cooper Electric for any of your electrical needs. Jeff's bid for the work was very competitive compared to the other bids I received. Jeff coordinated with SMUD and the City of Sacramento Inspection/Permit Department to complete the electrical panel upgrades, power shutdown and final inspection in just one day. Jeff was personally involved throughout the entire project and kept me informed on all ongoing activities."

Customers say: Quality work

"Barry was outstanding from start to finish. He was the first to provide an estimate, the most reasonably priced, and inspired the most confidence of all the contractor estimators I talked to. Not only that, but was completely accommodating and receptive to all my special requests and upgrades. Most of all, he is a super nice guy and does all the work himself. You don't have to pay the overhead of a big operation or worry who will do the work - your money goes straight to the man and the materials. The job was started on time and finished in 5 hours for a Nema 14-50 garage outlet (a specialty of his) with 6 AWG wire and a Hubbel industrial outlet. Best of all, Barry knows all the codes and submits all the paperwork to the city/county for permitted installations. Highly recommend!"

"I can’t recommend Jon and Shawn highly enough! They were an absolutely incredible team professional, knowledgeable, and efficient from start to finish. They came out and quickly handled multiple electrical issues that had been causing a lot of frustration. Not only did they fix everything with skill and precision, but they also explained things clearly and made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. It’s rare to come across such reliable and trustworthy electricians."

"Scott Sheton responded quickly, was able to locate rare parts and got the job done early in the morning on the very next day after looking at the damage. He came in well below his initial estimate and the inspection came off without a hitch. I heartily recommend him and plan to hire him for our next project!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Wire color codes vary depending on the region. For instance, the United Kingdom has updated its wiring codes to match Europe's color system. The United States wiring color code is different, as is Australia's. Because the color code system isn’t universal, it’s essential to hire an experienced electrician to perform any electrical work to ensure it is done correctly.

A pigtail is the only safe way to connect an electrical device to more than one circuit wire. Connecting multiple wires to a single screw terminal is extremely dangerous and must never be done. Many electricians will opt for pigtails even when there are multiple screw terminals available so that the device in question won’t halt the flow of downstream current when a problem arises. 

Yes, one wire is always hot on the 3-way switch, meaning it carries the electricity from the power source to the switch. If you have a 3-wire cable in your home, you have two hot wires, or line wires, coming from the power source. Typically, you’d connect the hot black wire from the power source to the traveler wire and the hot red wire from the power source to the first 3-way switch. For the second 3-way switch, you’d then connect the hot black traveler wire to the switch.

Yes, California law requires that electricians be licensed by the state in order to do electrical work. However, there is an exception for small jobs valued at $500 or less. In these cases, an unlicensed handyperson is legally allowed to do the work. Limit hiring unlicensed contractors to minor tasks and fixes around your home.

240V is the standard for more demanding appliances in the United States, whereas 220V is more common elsewhere. The voltage isn’t very different in any practical sense. The United States is a newer country compared to many other regions in the world with a faster adoption of new electrical needs. Appliances in the United States are often bigger than other parts of the world.
