"Electricity was needed for a new control panel for my backyard sprinklers, and I needed a couple of light fixtures replaced in my house. The gentleman showed up on-time and quickly took care of everything in three hours, which included making a run to the hardware store for a part. The price was very reasonable since I used the promotion on Angie's List. Moving forward, they will be the first people I call for electrical work."

"When reading reviews of companies, like many, I'm skeptical of the information... is it real... can they really be this professional? Well, the verdict is in on Coast Electric Company. They are truly the most terrific team of electrical contractors in the business. There are many reasons Ignacio and his son Jonathan are incredible, but we will start with what is most important to me. They are really good people. Just as human beings, I felt very comfortable with them in my new home and it almost felt like family. They worked tirelessly in my home for about a week and I felt incredibly comfortable leaving them the keys to my home. As a parent with 5 young children, I also felt comfortable letting my kids be around the team. It was like having family over. In terms of their work, it is second to none. We purchased light fixtures that were incredibly puzzling to install because we have no attic, but they found a way to make it look beautiful. We had a full panel upgrade and Ignacio was kind enough to go to the city and pull the permits very quickly. The team went far and above what I had originally asked them to do, but they stayed true to the original price quoted. I'm not one to write reviews, but this company truly deserves it. I will invite them for our first get together so they can admire the amazing work they did and so we could show our appreciation."

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

You can add an electrical outlet outside by sending a wire through the wall from an existing interior outlet. Without having to open up walls, you can thread a new electrical cable from the existing outlet through the wall and to the exterior. You’ll need to cut a hole in the siding to place your new outlet. Ensure that your outdoor outlet is a GFCI outlet (ground fault circuit interrupter outlet) per the National Electrical Code. It’s best to hire an electrician to add an outdoor outlet unless you have previous electrical experience.

Three-way switches are only replaceable with three-way switches. A single-pole switch won't work if you replace one or more of a pair of three-way switches. By electrical code, three-way switch configurations are necessary at the top and bottom of a staircase between residential floors.

In the majority of cases, you can replace an outlet with a USB outlet. USB charging receptacles install in the same spot as standard outlets and any electrician worth their salt is more than familiar with the replacement process. Additionally, it’s possible to replace yourself, but only if you have prior experience with your home’s electrical system, as it requires handling of wires.

Multiple wire sizes are used for residential electrical purposes. While the most common sizes used in homes are 14 and 12 gauge, some appliances, such as stoves, electric water heaters, central air units, etc., may use larger gauge wire to accommodate their larger amperage. Typically, larger appliances require 10-, 8-, or 6-gauge wires.
