"Jeff and his crew did a great job upgrading the electrical panels at my 6-unit apartment building. The whole experience from start to finish has been exceptional and would highly recommend Cooper Electric for any of your electrical needs. Jeff's bid for the work was very competitive compared to the other bids I received. Jeff coordinated with SMUD and the City of Sacramento Inspection/Permit Department to complete the electrical panel upgrades, power shutdown and final inspection in just one day. Jeff was personally involved throughout the entire project and kept me informed on all ongoing activities."

"Jason responded quickly to my call. He replaced the electrical panel in my home. Jason was courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. He seriously knows what he is doing. He communicates well and was able to explain to me (a very non technical person) what was happening. I would definitely hire him again."

"Our experience was FANTASTIC! Chris was not only friendly but extremely personable and knowledgeable! I had so many questions & he answered all of them plus some. He originally came over just for a quote but ended up being able to fix everything we needed on the spot! Then, when he was done checking out everything I originally called him about, I was able to go over other concerns & even future projects with him. It was such a great experience & I will definitely be calling him for all future electrical needs."

Customers say: Quality work

"Barry was outstanding from start to finish. He was the first to provide an estimate, the most reasonably priced, and inspired the most confidence of all the contractor estimators I talked to. Not only that, but was completely accommodating and receptive to all my special requests and upgrades. Most of all, he is a super nice guy and does all the work himself. You don't have to pay the overhead of a big operation or worry who will do the work - your money goes straight to the man and the materials. The job was started on time and finished in 5 hours for a Nema 14-50 garage outlet (a specialty of his) with 6 AWG wire and a Hubbel industrial outlet. Best of all, Barry knows all the codes and submits all the paperwork to the city/county for permitted installations. Highly recommend!"

"Crux Electrical did an amazing job upgrading my electrical panel. Ed's communication was excellent throughout the entire project. Their workers were totally professional, and my family felt comfortable being home. My brother stopped by my house during construction. He commented on how organized their truck was. He saw a different company truck (TV advertised company) in total disarray and said he would have no confidence in them. Additionally, there were no hidden fees and their price was competitive."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The major difference between a GFCI breaker and an AFCI breaker is that a GFCI breaker protects against fatal shocks while an AFCI breaker prevent electrical fires. A GFCI breaker senses when the electrical current to ground is overloaded and trips to prevent major accidents or injuries. AFCI breakers trip when it detects dangerous electrical arcing.

Choosing between 12- or 14-gauge wire for your house depends on the electrical requirements of the circuit. A 12-gauge wire is thicker and can handle more power, making it better suited for devices such as kitchen appliances, air conditioning units, or electric heaters.

A 14-gauge wire is thinner and can handle less electrical current than a 12-gauge wire. It's ideal for circuits with lower power requirements, such as lighting or general-purpose outlets in bedrooms or living rooms.

A C-wire connects your thermostat to your household heating and cooling system to provide continuous 24V power. The furnace's transformer converts household electrical current into this low-voltage power to operate the HVAC system's circuitry. In most configurations, the C-wire connects to the terminals labeled "C" on both the furnace's low-voltage terminal block and the thermostat. In some cases, if a dedicated C terminal is unavailable, the C-wire can be connected to the "G" (fan) terminal at the furnace.

The color code for the common sprinkler wire is white, and then you can assign the remaining color codes to the rest of the wires for different sprinkler zones. For example, you could use red for the first zone, then blue for the second, and so on.

Color-coding helps you keep track of which wires go to specific zones so that you or a pro can address any issues or repairs quickly. Check your local electrical code for any requirements regarding sprinkler wire colors.

The main reason outlets become loose is because the contact points have started to wear down after years of use. Occasionally, poor wiring can cause heat or sparks that can damage the outlet and cause it to become loose. Either way, if your plugs slide out after being inserted into the outlet, it’s time to replace it.
