"Garafano Electric has being taking care of all the electrical needs and upgrades in our 90 plus year old house for a few years now. They always do A+ work. We're currently in the middle of some home renovations and they've been willing and able to work with our erratic schedule. Honest, dependable, and great at what they do. Can't recommend them high enough!"

"Mr. Johnson and his crew have performed a fewjobs from lighting installations, to doorbell repair, to rewiring. Every job has been done well and at a reasonable price. The workers were respectful and very helpful at explaining the work they did before they left. What really set this outfit apart is Mr. Johnson himself. He always returns calls, his crews show up on time and perform the work expediently. On top of this, when I have had questions about other electrical concerns, Mr. Johnson takes time to have a phone call to consult on the issue. Mr. Johnson and his company are of high integrity and I would highly recommend them for any residential electric work."

"Tim Gephart (Owner) and his Assistant were awesome. They were courteous, professional, came out exactly when we wanted them, were on time, did a great job installing a new ceiling fan and electrical switch in our dining room and the final invoice came in at the low end of the quoted price range. What more can anybody ask? Highly recommended and will definitely use them again. Thanks so much Tim!"

"Electric Zone is a company that I would highly recommend. Haik is a consummate professional. He and his team are punctual, efficient, polite and very patient when answering questions. Previously, I had work done on my house and the contractor just left the project without completing it. The part that was not completed was causing a lot of problems and stress for my family. The circuit breaker kept tripping and one of the junction boxes melted an electric oven that we used to use. Electric Zone took care of the entire problem and left their entire working area perfectly clean. They left no debris anywhere. My family and I are extremely happy with Haik and the entire team from Electric Zone."

"Luis did an excellent job installing 5 interior lights and a lighted fan in our home. He was prompt, did work completely and quickly, and advised us to make some changes to the wiring that really helped. His estimate was fair and clear and he cleaned up well. I give him my highest rating for any electrical work."

"I hired Mitch to run power from my electrical box to an outdoor solarium. It required digging to hide the wiring under my artificial turf, running it through the yard , then into the structure. Mitch did the job perfectly. The yard looked untouched, running the power into the structure was also perfect. He did the job in exactly the time he said he would. He’s the best electrician I’ve had since we moved into our house. Don’t hesitate to call him!!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

In Northridge, overloading circuits during heatwaves, blocking airflow around electrical panels, and using extension cords for permanent outdoor lighting can all reduce system lifespan. Allowing sprinklers to spray electrical boxes, failing to clear debris after Santa Ana winds, and damaging buried lines during yard work are also frequent issues. Even hanging heavy décor without checking for hidden wiring can cause preventable damage.

Helpful?

The longevity of electrical work in Northridge hinges on using UV-resistant materials for outdoor installations, ensuring proper grounding, and selecting copper wiring for reliability. Planning for seismic stability, matching system capacity to the demands of pools and multiple air conditioning units, and protecting equipment from intense summer heat all play a crucial role in achieving safe, long-lasting results.

Helpful?

In Northridge, homeowners often overlook the need for permits and inspections, especially when upgrading panels or adding pool equipment. Attempting DIY work on main service panels, skipping GFCI protection in kitchens and outdoor spaces, and using improper wire gauge for HVAC systems are frequent errors. Ignoring seismic bracing for electrical panels and failing to weatherproof outdoor components are also common missteps unique to the area.

Helpful?

Northridge’s hot, dry summers can strain electrical systems, making heat management and UV protection essential for outdoor wiring and panels. Intense sun exposure, winter rains, and occasional flooding can damage ground-level equipment. Santa Ana winds may introduce debris or moisture into outdoor boxes, while seismic activity requires extra bracing for panels. Scheduling major projects in spring or fall helps avoid weather-related complications.

Helpful?

In Northridge, you can safely replace light switches, outlets, and standard fixtures under 50 pounds by first shutting off power at the breaker and confirming with a voltage tester. Resetting GFCI outlets and changing bulbs are also safe tasks. For any work involving the main panel, new circuits, or outdoor electrical systems—especially near pools—contact a local professional to ensure safety.
