"We hired Borders to replace our homes’ electrical panel. I had also spoken to other companies as part of our planning and Borders was the most professional & had the best communication by far… that’s one of the most important things to me & it should be to you. Once we started the process, Andy kept me apprised of every step, including the process with the City permitting and PG&E. When we were cleared to go, all of the resources with the City as well as PG&E were coordinated and ready to go. On the day of install, Andy and his team were here early, prepared with all materials & supplies and hit the ground running. Andy was great about explaining the steps & components being included in the job. While here, Andy was also able to take a look at a couple of issues in our home. Shortly after, I hired Borders to install a number of GFI outlets. The job was scheduled quickly and completed professionally. I HIGHLY recommend Borders, have told neighbors & will use them again!"

"I invited this Electricial PRO to show up for WORK on 03/18/2024. I have a lot of Electrical Work that needs to be done HERE. I thought He would show up for WORK at 8 am with the ARRIVAL of my Two Handymen. But, HE did’t show up at all. If HE Still wants to WORK, Then HE should SHOW-UP at 8 am TOMORROW. I need HIM to JUST SHOW UP HIM to repair a BROKEN CIRCUIT in the KITCHEN, And Install Four Ceiling Fans w/ Lights ( One of the FANS will have to be installed using a Stairway Ladder OR a Scaffolding in the STAIRWAY… So - If HE Still WORK, JUST SHOW UP…"

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

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.

Though they may seem similar at a quick glance, outdoor electrical outlets are different from indoor electrical outlets in that they have extra safety precautions to prevent electrical hazards. These include GFCIs, which some indoor outlets have, and a watertight cover that allows you to use electricity from the outlet even on a rainy day.

Yes, professional installations typically include wiring, switches, and circuit adjustments for safe operation.

If you strictly adhere to electrical safety rules, including assuming that a circuit is hot until proven otherwise, and have some knowledge of how an electrical circuit works, you can likely replace a light switch by yourself without too much trouble. However, it's always advisable to call a nearby electrical pro to do the job if you're unsure of any steps necessary to change a light switch.
