Efficient, professional and speedy installation. Todd has a facility for explaining what he intends to do regarding the job (and why) in layman's terms. No jargon. In my opinion a very good businessman and an indispensable vendor when you have electrical issues.
Hill Electric IncI recently contacted Garage and Closet Kingdom regarding an installation question, I was very pleased with their immediate response time. I would most defiantly contact Garage and Closet Kingdom in the future for my garage and closet needs. I appreciated their professionalism.
I bought this house in June. It is my first. The previous owners put in a sprinkler system right before closing, but then failed to provide me with any outline, manual, directions, etc. I had no idea about winterization. So, after this particularly wicked recent winter, it is no surprise...
Apparently the shingles he recommended and which I selected were high quality materials. The completed job looked OK, but it turned out that the shingles had been installed with nails that were too short. Within a couple of years shingles began blowing off. (The roofing contractor who...

I'm proud to say that I started working on electrical projects when I was just 16 years old. My grandfather, who was an electrician and also played the guitar like me, inspired me to pursue this field. I obtained my OSHA certification to ensure workplace safety. In addition, I have an AS degree in HVAC and refrigeration from SJCC, as well as another degree in Facilities Maintenancece. I've earned certificate levels 2 and 3 in HVAC, as well as an entry-level certificate in solar installations. Being EPA certified as an HVAC technician demonstrates my expertise in this area. I also took a year course for EMS. Safety is a priority for me, so I've also obtained CPR certification. And by the way, ¡Hablamos español! Being able to communicate in Spanish adds another valuable dimension to my skill set. I'm constantly striving to learn and improve in my fields of interest.

The average cost of a home security system is about $700, ranging from $280 to $1,150. Costs to consider include equipment, surveillance fees, and other additional features. Cost factors that determine your system’s price include the type of security system, materials, labor, activation fees, monthly fees, and permits. Additional features and upgrades may include:
Video surveillance monitoring: $40–$65 per month
Smart home locks: $150
Smart home lighting: $15–$90
Smart smoke, fire, and carbon monoxide alarms: $35–$100
Smart thermostat: $130–$500
It’s important to ask an electrician a few questions before you commit to hiring them so you can make an informed decision as a consumer. If you’re getting estimates or considering hiring an electrician, ask them these questions:
Are you a full-time electrician?
Are you bonded, licensed, and insured?
What level of experience do you have as an electrician?
Can you please share three references?
Do you do residential or commercial electrical work?
What kinds of electrical work are you most familiar with?
Will any subcontractors be performing the work?
Are permits and inspections required?
Who is responsible for obtaining permits and inspections?
What is your schedule?
Do you offer a guarantee or warranty on your work?
Will you sign a do-not-exceed clause to keep the job within the budget?
Yes, you should get a quote or an estimate from an electrician. Most electricians offer free estimates or quotes. When getting quotes, do your research and verify each electrician’s license. Get quotes from three different electricians to compare. If the prices or items listed appear different on the quotes, ask the electrician to clarify. Learning as much as you can about the electrical work you want done will help you get the most accurate estimate.
Yes, a home security system can be worth it for your peace of mind alone, but it can also save you up to 20% on your home insurance. The insurance savings will help defray the initial setup costs and subscription costs over time. Locations with higher crime rates also make home security systems a valuable investment, but it ultimately depends on your personal preferences and asset values.
Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.
