"I couldn’t be happier with the electrical work that was completed. From start to finish, the professionalism, attention to detail, and quality of workmanship were exceptional. Every question I had was answered, the work was completed on time, and everything was left clean and organized when the job was finished. It’s hard to find someone who takes pride in their work these days, but it was obvious that quality and customer satisfaction were top priorities. The installation looks amazing, everything works perfectly, and the pricing was fair with no surprises. If you’re looking for an honest, reliable, and highly skilled electrician, I highly recommend giving them a call. I will definitely be using them again for any future electrical projects and won’t hesitate to recommend them to my family and friends. Five stars all the way!"

"I had a fantastic experience with Martin at GLZ Electric. He quickly gathered the necessary permits to upgrade and relocate my electrical box on my rental property. He coordinated seamlessly with PG&E, ensuring the process was quick with minimal downtime, which was a huge plus when dealing with tenants. If I ever need more electrical work done, I won?t hesitate to call GLZ Electric again!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

According to the National Electrical Code (NEC), GFCI outlets should be installed in wet or damp locations where they might be splashed with water or other liquids. This is to protect against ground faults, which are more common around water. Specific areas that require GFCI outlets include kitchens (especially near counters), bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, garages, and all outdoor receptacles. Depending on local electrical codes, you may need at least one GFCI outlet in these rooms, or every outlet in the area may need to be GFCI protected.

Yes, most electric and automatic gates can be opened manually. They are equipped with a manual override or release mechanism that detaches the motor from the gate, allowing it to be moved by hand. This feature is essential during power outages or other emergencies.

To activate the manual override, you will typically need a specific key or tool. In some cases, you may also need a screwdriver to remove a cover to access the release mechanism. The use of a key is a common security measure to prevent unauthorized individuals from manually opening the gate.

Because every model is different, it is highly recommended to consult your gate's user manual to familiarize yourself with the specific procedure before you need to use it. Keep any necessary keys or tools in an accessible location. Be aware that automatic gates can be very heavy, so opening and closing them manually may be difficult.

In North America, electric gates are also subject to the UL 325 Standard for Safety, which includes provisions to allow emergency responders to access the property.

The NEC requires electrical outlets be installed in a kitchen that has a sink 12 inches wide and 24 inches deep. According to the code, that outlet must be within 2 feet of the kitchen sink. Bathrooms must have at least one electrical outlet, it must be GFCI, and it must be within 3 feet of the bathroom sink.

A larger heater requires a larger breaker—unless there’s one already installed. The longer answer to this question is more nuanced. Do you place demands on the heater at the same time as running other heavy-duty appliances like ovens and washing machines? Do you live in an older home that may not have considered the higher electrical demands we have now? Breakers need to be sized at 125% of the load. To find that load, you should call a local electrical pro.

Electric water heaters use a high amount of electricity, so they’re best for homeowners who subsidize their electric bill with solar or who live in an area with inexpensive electricity. For others, gas water heaters versus electric water heaters may be the more cost-effective solution, with the added bonus of heating water quickly and efficiently. No matter which you choose, you can lower your water temperature as low as possible to keep costs down.
