"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 questions, answered by experts

If there’s already a suitable outlet near the range, you likely won’t need an electrician to install an over-the-range microwave. However, if there isn’t an existing outlet or the current one doesn’t meet the microwave’s power needs, you’ll probably need an electrician to install a new outlet. 

Using a wire stripper/cutter, strip about 1/2 inch to 1 inch of sheathing from electric wires, depending on the application. A self-adjusting wire stripper/cutter works best, but a standard wire stripper/cutter with holes for different gauges of wire works as well to cut and strip away the sheath without damaging the copper wire inside.

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 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.

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.
