"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

You can use a double-pole switch for a regular light fixture, but it's unnecessary and won’t be the most efficient choice. A single-pole switch works perfectly for standard lights. Double-pole handle high-power appliances that require both hot wires to be disconnected. Using a single-pole switch for regular lights is more cost-effective, simpler, and more common in residential settings.

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

Poorly designed and incorrectly installed outlets can create an electrical fire hazard, as do some phone chargers and adapters that plug into these outlets. However, most outlets are perfectly safe as long as they remain in working condition. Keep an eye on what you are plugging into the outlet and stay alert for signs of outlet malfunction, like sparks, burning smell, or frequent circuit tripping.

While you can technically live in a home while it's being rewired, prepare for some debris and dust if your electrical contractor needs to remove parts of walls, floors, and ceilings to access wires. If you stay home during the project, ask your electrician to cut the power supply to all exposed electrical wires to keep your family safe.

Yes, hot tubs can use a significant amount of electricity, primarily to keep the water heated. A typical hot tub uses between 1,500 and 6,000 watts, and the pump can add another 1,500 watts. This usage can result in a monthly cost of around $20 to $30. The exact amount of electricity consumed depends on several factors, including the hot tub's age, size, heater voltage (120V vs. 240V), usage habits, and thermostat setting. Newer, energy-efficient models generally use less power than older ones. To reduce electricity costs, consider investing in an energy-efficient model, using a quality insulated cover with a thermal blanket, and keeping the filters clean.
