"I used Sergio during my kitchen remodel, and he was great to work with from start to finish. He moved outlets for us and helped fix several electrical issues that came up during construction. He was always on time, communicated clearly when scheduling appointments, and was very professional throughout the process. He also suggested a few improvements that made sense, but never made me feel pressured to do extra work. Overall, a great experience and I highly recommend him. I will use him again for any electrical needs that I have."

"I have now used our RR Electric on two separate occasions and I m so pleased with the work they ve done for me! The first job was installing six chandeliers and they did an amazing job and left the place spotless! This time we had electrical outlets put in and a couple fixed and the level of detail is impressive! Your home will be left cleaner than when they got here and the work will be done perfectly!!!"

"Great locally owned company, stands behind their work and great communication. The hardest part of electrical workers is getting one that will communicate well. These guys are it. I had a previous electrician who messed up some work, Gold Coast had enough integrity to ask me after the job if it was caused by them. It was not but they were ready to come in and do us right. I am going to hire them to fix the bad electrical work that was done by previous contractor."

"I hired LT Generators to install a Generac generator to protect my home from loss of power, rolling blackouts, etc. LT Generators was superb to work with through out the entire process. Communication and follow-up was extremely impressive. The installation, lead by Arnold and his team could not have been any better. The entire experience from start to install was a great experience. Highly recommend. RD"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

No, it doesn’t matter which of the two wires goes on each of the two switch terminals. Just be sure to put the ground wire in the correct terminal. The ground wire is either green, bare copper, or green with a yellow stripe. The other wires are hot wires and are typically black. They can be used interchangeably.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

It depends on where you live. Some cities may require a permit for electrical work, while others don’t. You’ll need to call your city’s building department to determine if you’ll need to apply for a permit or not. If a permit is required, you’ll likely have to pay a fee for it. 

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.

GFCI stands for ground fault circuit interrupter, which means it has the ability to detect a ground fault and shut the circuit down before it creates hazards. General breakers may also do that because ground faults can cause overloads, but they’re more focused on amp overloads from any cause. GFCIs are often installed in specific outlets, but breakers can come with GFCI capabilities built in for broader ground fault protection.
