"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!"

"Text set up with NMB Electric for EV level 2 charger installation was quick & effortless. They planned using my submitted breaker/garage photos. Their suggested (highly rated) brand/model came from Amazon overnight. Jesus showed up as specified, fielded a few of my questions and had the charger up and running in no time. He helped me set up the associated online App. Job took less time (and $ than estimated). Whole job done well, and much under budget vs. car dealer recommended installer. Happy to review."

"Andy & his crew do excellent work at a very good price plus they have a wide range of talents. Do not hesitate to hire them! They just finished installing stereo speakers inside the ceilings of my house plus amps & now I will ask them fix all my electrical issues. It might sound as if Iâ m related to them but Iâ m not(!) just very impressed w/ the whole ACT team & their work. Plus Andy is on call if needed to troubleshoot your new system if needed. Highly recommended."

"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 questions, answered by experts

The average cost to hire an electrician is around $350. However, every electrical job varies in scope, materials, and labor involved, so while you will likely pay anywhere between $85 and $1,100 for standard jobs, a project like rewiring a house can cost up to $30,000. You might also pay slightly higher prices if you need emergency work done or if the work involves accessing a hard-to-reach area in your home, like an attic or cramped crawlspace. You should ask your electrician for an estimate before agreeing to the work.

The American Wire Gauge system calculates wire size diameters using the complicated formula D(AWG)=.005·92((36-AWG)/39) inch. A simpler rule of thumb is that every six-gauge decrease doubles the wire diameter, and every three-gauge decrease doubles the wire’s cross-sectional area. On the other hand, wavenumbers are typically measured in reciprocal meters (1/m or m−1) or reciprocal centimeters (1/cm or cm−1).

Most commonly, aesthetics and practicality influence a move. If your renovation or remodel involves the wall in question, you’ll obviously need to relocate. It all comes down to personal preference. You’ll need to hire a professional electrician for this task, so be sure to hire a licensed pro with plenty of experience with this type of electrical task.

There are a few telltale signs that it’s time for a replacement. You should consider an upgrade if:

  • Your panel is over 25 years old

  • You’re adding a new electrical system

  • Your current system doesn’t offer the power you need

  • Your home is a jungle of power strips

If half of a string of Christmas lights is out, it is likely because of a single burned-out, loose, or broken bulb within that section. Long strands of lights often contain more than one circuit, so when one bulb fails, it can cause the entire circuit (or half the strand) to go dark. To fix this, inspect the unlit section and test each bulb to ensure it is tight and functioning properly. Replacing the faulty bulb or repairing a damaged shunt will typically solve the problem.
