"We needed our old electrical panel replaced and wanted someone who would take the time to do it properly. Mark led the job for Gridwise and it was obvious early on that he knew exactly what he was doing. The new panel went in without any issues. Solid work, and we'd call them again."

"Mark and Shane at Gridwise Electric kept communication flowing until Shane arrived. He greeted me with a pleasant and professional demeanor. He asked about the scope of the job and explained what needed to be done. Half an hour later, everything was finished. He cleaned the little mess that had fallen on the counter. He departed with a smile and self-satisfaction, knowing he had just made the customer happy. I will call again and ask Shane about any future electrical needs. I highly recommend Gridwise.

"Michael and his technician were very prompt, very helpful, and very accommodating. It was late in the day, and I made an attempt to get my electrical issues resolved the same day (because problems could potentially worsen) - Michael, without hesitation, coordinated to have his technician meet with me asap! Technician did a great job analyzing and fixing the problem. Excellent customer service! Will definitely hire for future needs."

"James is an awesome owner and wonderful to work with! He sent Danny and another person to complete our lighting job. They did A LOT of work installing recessed lighting in 3 rooms and installed under cabinet lighting in our kitchen. They finished all in 1 day and we were very pleased with the work they did! We will definitely be hiring Bay Area Electric again and I will definitely ask for Danny!"

"I needed to have a charging station installed in my garage after purchasing an EV Bolt. I didn't know of any electricians and so I tired Home Advisor. I filled out a request on Sunday and Monday morning Tony Munguia called to say he could come at 1 PM to give me an estimate. He was promptly at my front door at 1 PM and he was very thorough in his estimate. He used a calculator on his phone to see if the correct wire size would fit in my existing conduit that went from our house to the detached garage. He was very personable and I connected with him while he explained his estimate. I accepted it and he and crew came promptly at 8 AM and excellently install the craving station in my garage. They cleaned up after themselves and completed the jon by 4:30 PM. I now k now of an excellent electrical contractor in Marin should I need one in the future. I would highly recommend their services."

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, a faulty or broken light switch can be a serious fire hazard. Malfunctioning switches, often due to loose connections, exposed wiring, or overheating, can cause sparking or arcing. If you hear a crackling, popping, or hissing sound when you use the switch, it indicates live electricity arcing inside, which is a significant hazard that can ignite nearby flammable materials. If you suspect your light switch is faulty, turn off the power to that circuit at the breaker and contact a qualified electrician to remedy the issue.

The answer depends on your needs and the availability of your current electrical panel. If you’re hoping to seriously up the power in your detached living space, you may also need to consider increasing the power of the amp your home runs on (from 100-amps to 200-amps, for example).

Before the widespread use of PVC, affixing a ground wire to plumbing pipes was generally considered to be an acceptable workaround. Nowadays, not so much. There are plenty of nonmetallic water pipes and fittings out there, so any ground previously provided by the metallic piping would be interrupted in these cases, which is dangerous.

Hawaii is currently rated as the most expensive state for utilities. How much are utilities for a house in Hawaii? With electricity costs in Hawaii totaling nearly 42 cents per kilowatt-hour, residents are paying more to run their households than any other residents. Electricity costs in Hawaii are so high, mostly due to the fact that most of the electricity available to residents is produced using oil that must be shipped in from other places.

You should never unplug or touch a buzzing outlet. If there are appliances plugged in that are causing the buzzing, wait until the appliance is turned off (or turn it off yourself) and then unplug it from the outlet. Test the outlet by plugging in something that won’t use much power—a small lamp works well. If the outlet still buzzes, have a pro investigate why.
