"Steve with Summit Power & Electric is so knowledgeable. If you need anything electrical done, he can do it. He also helped us out with our water heater. We needed a new thermostat, we went to Solano’s and for $18 we got a new thermostat. We had hot water in no time!"

"In the selling of our home, through formal inspection through the buyer, the inspector suggested upgrading certain electrical outlets with GFCI outlets in the bathroom's, garage, and kitchen. On a Friday using HomeAdvisors, I was contacted by B&C Electric who came to my home that day. The electrician arrived early Monday as scheduled. GFCI outlets were installed two older in wall outdated outlets were disconnected and covered with solid plates. As usual with an elderly home, two outlets had very old/original in wall boxes that were too small to accommodate the GFCI outlets. The electrician had to enlarge the wall openings and install new boxes. This was all done in a short amount of time and the cost to me was around half the price I expected to pay! I recommend D&C Electric."

"Our main electrical panel needed replaced. We Reached out to Jake Graham, he came pretty quickly to assess the situation, gave us a quote and scheduled the job. The price was fair and we were all fixed up before we know it..electrical is stressful for me. It's great to have someone that's knowledgeable and affordable. He shows up when he says he will be there, and stays until the job is complete. We will be using him for any future electrical needs without hesitation."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

A ground wire is not required for GFCI to work. A ground is a third wire in an outlet in addition to the live and neutral wires. It serves as an escape conduit for electricity in case of a short circuit. If a ground wire is present, installers should connect it to the appropriate terminal. Otherwise, a GFCI will work fine without it.

Yes, Christmas lights on a timer are just as safe as any other Christmas lights are. Most fires caused by holiday lights are due to damage to the strings of lights themselves or from too many lights being plugged into one circuit.

A faulty light switch can trip a breaker due to circuit overload or a short circuit. A faulty light switch may not always trip a breaker, so don’t use that as your only sign that something’s wrong. Always investigate the cause of a switch that isn’t working properly, feels hot to the touch, or is making unusual noises.

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.

A C-wire is typically blue, but don’t rely on colors to find which wire is which when it comes to thermostat wires. The C-wire may also be black, brown, or purple. Instead, if you’re looking for the C-wire, look at the thermostat panel for a wire connecting to “terminal C,” or call in a pro to help you look for a C-wire.
