"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."

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!"

"I can’t recommend Jon and Shawn highly enough! They were an absolutely incredible team professional, knowledgeable, and efficient from start to finish. They came out and quickly handled multiple electrical issues that had been causing a lot of frustration. Not only did they fix everything with skill and precision, but they also explained things clearly and made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. It’s rare to come across such reliable and trustworthy electricians."

"Scott Sheton responded quickly, was able to locate rare parts and got the job done early in the morning on the very next day after looking at the damage. He came in well below his initial estimate and the inspection came off without a hitch. I heartily recommend him and plan to hire him for our next project!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

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. 

A wire stripping tool is the easiest way to strip sheathing or plastic insulation from electrical wires. A self-adjusting wire stripper cuts and removes the sheathing without damaging the core wire.

You can twist the wires before using a wire nut, but it’s not necessary. Electricians often twist wires before using a wire nut, which can help secure the connection and enhance electrical contact between wires. You can decide whether or not to twist the wires beforehand, or consult a local electrician if you need  professional opinion.

Yes, it is possible to hang a chandelier without wiring, but it depends on the design of both the chandelier and your ceiling. Many homeowners use plug-in pendant lights, adhesive hook and cord pendants, or nonelectrical light sources to hang a chandelier without wiring.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.
