"Juan came out and gave us a price to replace bathroom exhaust fans and light fixtures in both of our bathrooms. He told us how long the work would take and that was how long it took. He worked nonstop for four hours and charged us just what he told us he would. His work is excellent and precise. We feel very fortunate that our search for an electrician started with him. We would call Juan first when we have need again for any electrical work."

"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."

"Our house is over 30 years old and the electrical panel was in questionable state after various contractors over the years had accessed it for their projects. For safety and security reasons, we had Rooster Electric upgrade the electrical panel. The electrician needed to cut the house siding to install the new panel and did so expertly, providing new trim and caulking. The job looks great and we feel safer now that the panel is up to specs. Thank you, Rooster Electric, for walking us through the project and doing excellent work. Weâ re so tired of contractors taking the quick and easy route to get their job done rather than providing good, respectable customer service. Youâ ll get our recommendation whenever someone asks if we know a good and trustworthy electrical company. L&N in Fair Oaks"

"I am extremely impressed with what was accomplished on our installation. Mr Neal coordinated both our schedules even coming on a Sunday (imagine during football season) to accomplish the project, . Mr Neal is an artist, a skilled craftsman, friendly, socialable, and a great conversationalist. His work is exemplary, I would definitely use his services again."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Your breaker box houses the breakers that control the circuits in your home, shutting them off if they overload or experience similar problems. Your meter box houses your electrical meter that monitors the electricity flowing into your house and measures its use for your utility company.

In some cases, both components are in the same box, but they don’t have to be together. Many homes have them split, with the breaker box inside for easier access and the electric meter outside.

If a light switch is off, it’s very unlikely to cause a fire. For a fire to start, the switch has to be on, activating an electrical current, and the wiring must be faulty. However, the malfunctioning light switch could cause an intermittent current to move across the electrical wire. This issue could become a fire hazard with another device connected to the wire. You should replace the bad light switch as soon as you notice it or call an electrician.

If you find the power cables for your appliances are too short, there are ways to extend them for the cost of just the extra wiring you need. Simply cut and strip your wires, solder them together, and cover them using heat shrink tubing. Not everyone has a soldering tool on hand, so if you’re looking to extend in a pinch, an extension cord, power bar, or surge protector can do the job just fine.

Your outlet should be a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). These outlets will cut power off in the case of an electrical fire, keeping your home and family safe. Extension cords can also be GFCIs. A local electrician can replace older outlets with GFCIs, if necessary.

Yes. You should always turn off the power to the work area before beginning, use a voltage tester to ensure it’s off, and wear protective gear, such as insulated gloves or safety glasses, to prevent risk of injury. Proper wiring and grounding techniques are also necessary to make sure the job is done right the first time and won’t harm any future homeowners.
