"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…"

"I had a great experience with Inversion Electric from start to finish. They did an outstanding job installing my solar system and battery backup. The entire process was smooth, professional, and the quality of the work exceeded my expectations. Working with Alex was especially great. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and took the time to answer all of my questions throughout the project. It's clear the team takes pride in their work and genuinely cares about their customers. I highly recommend Inversion Electric to anyone considering solar or battery backup. Great service, great communication, and excellent workmanship."

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

The safest option is to let a technician conduct the inspection. However, if you are certain that the capacitor failed and you take all precautions to avoid electric shock, you can take a look yourself. Usually, you can open the front panel of the unit and use a flashlight to find the small capacitor cylinder. It should have a sticker on it that provides its product number, capacity, and similar information that you can note when talking to a contractor.

It's possible to get power from an outlet for a light switch. However, you must install additional wiring to get current from the outlet to the switch and from the switch to the load it will control. Also, you must ensure that the outlet's electrical circuit can accommodate the additional demand. 

It wouldn’t be abnormal to view all wiring as simply wiring, but wiring has different gauges and can handle different loads. When you’re wiring for 240V, you need wire that is rated at least 240V, but honestly it’s better to spend a little more and just buy 300V wiring. This ensures a margin of safety in case the wiring gets overloaded.

If your outlet is testing fine but keeps tripping, that’s a sign your GFCI outlet is working, but there’s a problem somewhere else. Try plugging in different devices and see if the outlet keeps tripping. If it’s not the appliance that’s causing the issue, it could be a problem in your wiring. Faulty wiring can be a source of electrical fires and other serious problems. We recommend arranging an inspection by an electrician if an outlet appears to be working but keeps tripping.

To ensure batteries stop charging when they’re full, you’ll need to install a charge controller that determines when the battery is full. Once the battery is fully charged, the charge controller will stop the energy flow or divert the energy to the grid or other appliances. Without a charge controller, the battery may continue to charge, which can lead to less productivity and potential damage.
