"I was having a problem with my electrical panel the power keep flickering so I called Chris he came out the same day he drove all the way to Marysville and told me my whole panel needed to be replaced, needed to get a permit from PG&E so they came out the next day told me the main breaker needed replacing right away so I called Chris he came back out replaced the breaker even checked the rest of the breakers, clean the post and was done in about 10 minutes he even didn't charge me for the first time he came out. I would recommend Chris he is very courteous he arrives on time he will let you know if he's going to be late he is very affordable all around great guy."

"Scott provided the lowest estimate of the three I got. He was able to schedule the job in less than a week and the job was done well and quickly as scheduled. No issues since the job was completed about a week ago. I would call him first for any other electrical work I may have in the future."

"The Huft technicians knew their stuff. They arrived promptly in the morning, removed the existing units, and installed the new units without a hitch. The systems were up and running by the afternoon, and have served me well over the last three years, working great in both summer and winter. Huft provided free semi-annual maintenance visits for two years. There was a minor problem with the rooftop unit recently, and they repaired it under warranty at no charge. The cost was not cheap, but for me it was worth it to go all-electric."

"Simeon from Golden Valley Electrical came out and fixed our kitchen outlets with no issues at all. He was on time, easy to talk to, and clearly knew his stuff. Everything works perfectly now and the price was reasonable. Would use him again."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Switching the hot and neutral wires in an outlet or receptacle, a condition known as reverse polarity, is dangerous. While the outlet will still function and provide power, it creates a significant electrical shock hazard because anything plugged into it will remain electrified even when switched off. If you touch a conductive part of the appliance, such as the metal components of a toaster, you could receive an electric shock.

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.

Yes, you can convert a gas water heater to an electric one, but it is a complex process. You will need to ensure there is adequate power for the new electric unit, as they require more power than gas models. The project also involves safely closing off the gas lines and ventilation, and some cities may require a permit for the conversion. The cost can range from $1,500 to $4,100, depending on the installation scope, plumbing and electrical work, and the water heater model. For an accurate quote, it's best to contact a local professional. Also, be aware that your monthly utility bills may increase after the conversion, as natural gas is typically cheaper than electricity.

If you have a garage heater that is 1,500 watts or more, it will need its own breaker. As a good rule of thumb, no appliance should exceed 1,500 watts per outlet for best outcomes. Consult a local garage heating service to determine the power needs for your outdoor or indoor space.

You can plug your electric car into a regular 120-volt household outlet only if you’re using a Level 1 charger. This method is slower and may take several days to fully charge your EV. For faster charging, you’ll need a Level 2 charger, which requires a 220- or 240-volt outlet.
