"The company owner, Jacob came out to my property with one of his crew members to discuss the requested electrical work and provide an estimate taking all aspects of the job into consideration. Using digital tools, he provided a written estimate on the spot that I accepted. On the day scheduled for the job, Jacob and his team arrived on time. They walked through the property verifying the work that would be completed. The crew members were always focused on the job and were extremely conscientious. They took great care to protect the property with plastic sheets in all areas where they were working. An unforeseen problem was discovered during the job (some live wires that were disconnected and not capped off). The unsafe situation was resolved without any extra cost. The entire job was completed professionally and thoroughly and nothing was left undone. As I had questions during the job, they were addressed immediately. The crew members communicated with each other (even using their cell phones when one was in the attic or it was difficult to hear one another) throughout the job making sure they were working together to complete all requested tasks. Near the end of the day, Jacob returned to review all the work that had been done and to touch base with me with regard to my satisfaction with the work. When all work was completed, Jacob generated a digital invoice and sent it to me electronically. The service provided by Gandzjuk Electric was top notch. I will not hesitate to recommend this company to others."

"I had Excellence Electric install a Tesla charger in my garage. The job was difficult and required a replacement upgraded 200 amp circuit breaker with a 60 amp power line pulled through the attic across the house and dropped down into the garage where the Tesla charger port needed to be installed. Raymond at Excellence Electric completed the job on schedule, took care of all of the HOA and city permits, and kept me updated all the way through the process. I can highly recommend Raymond at Excellence Electric with out hesitation for any electrical work needed on your home or office. Kyle Webb Casa Del Sole residence"

"The back of my house has never had electrical outlets, which is inconvenient to say the least and decided to get it done before I have the outside of my house painted. I called Steve, who I have had do work before and have been happy. He sent two guys, who were pleasant, neat & efficient. It took them one hour to install two outdoor plugs in different places and replace two outlets on the inside with grounded outlets. They had needed materials with them & left the areas clean. They had to move a big cabinet to do one of the outlets inside and were fine with doing that. I will use Steve Cavanee for any and all electrical issues going forward. They do a good job, know what they are doing and the cost is very reasonable."

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

A ceiling light will usually have two or three wires: black, white, and sometimes green. Black wires are positive, or hot, while white wires are negative, or neutral. The green wire is the grounding wire. 

When you’re wiring the light, connect black to black, white to white, and green to the grounding screw.

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.

On average, replacing an electrical breaker panel, such as the Federal Pacific Electrical breaker panel, costs about $1,300. The price range for replacing electrical panels is between $550 and $2,100, depending on your location, the electrical panel’s location, and the extent of the work required to replace the panel. This kind of electrical work is dangerous and should only be done by a licensed electrician.

If you are having trouble determining the right breaker size for your water heater, it is a great idea to contact an electrician near you to help. They can help you determine the best option for your home and install the circuit breaker for you, ensuring that you have all the proper permits and that your circuit breaker won’t overload, which could lead to fire and other damage.

When converting a standard 120-volt outlet to a 240-volt outlet, the only components you can typically reuse are the existing electrical box and the hole in the wall. Everything else—including the wiring, breaker, and receptacle—should be replaced to ensure both safety and efficiency. Appliances designed for 240 volts have different plug configurations that won’t fit into a standard 120-volt outlet, making it necessary to install a compatible 240-volt receptacle. This design helps prevent overloading or underloading the power available to any one outlet or circuit.
