"Power Up Electric did outstanding work rewiring my whole house after an unfortunate electrical fire in my garage five years ago. They were very efficient, neat, and took real pride in the quality of their work. For the last five years they have been my go to electrical company. Telephone response is prompt, service is offered quickly, prices are fair and every electrician who has come to my home as been reliable. When friends and family need to have electrical work done, I always recommend Power Up Electric."

"Garafano Electric has being taking care of all the electrical needs and upgrades in our 90 plus year old house for a few years now. They always do A+ work. We're currently in the middle of some home renovations and they've been willing and able to work with our erratic schedule. Honest, dependable, and great at what they do. Can't recommend them high enough!"

"The electricians took care of everything and did so in a professional manner- and were fast! I would definitely recommend and would use EL Electric again. I felt the price was pretty reasonable. I got a 10% discount because of my Angie's list membership."

"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."

"Tim Gephart has been my "go to" electrician since I first hired him through Home Advisor over a year ago. A true professional and gentleman. He has done many projects for me including new outlets, installing lighting and replacing an entire electrical panel. Each and every project was done with care and the highest level of skill. He is an expert electrician."

"

I called Haik Zohrabian because the tenant at our rental property had reported "some smoke and a burnt smell" coming from an entryway light fixture. 

When I called, I expected to have to set an appointment, but Haik said that he was just on his way back to our area and he could make the service call very quickly.  We met him at the rental and he looked at the fixture and said that it appeared to be just an accumulation of 'dust and dead bugs in the fixture.'  He vacuumed it out and then checked the fixture, its switch and its function and said that it now appeared to be just fine.  No problem.

Then, he noticed that another switch (right next to the first one) was operating erratically.  We hadn't been aware of this as a problem, but once he pointed it out it was obvious he was correct.  He changed out the switch and that now operates perfectly.

He started to leave, and I stopped him...and said,  "wait a minute, what do I owe you."  To which he responded "nothing, it was very minor."

What an overall surprise.  He was prompt, professional, courteous...and ON TOP OF THAT, he didn't even charge me.  I know that this is an exception, but I will certainly use him for any electrical problem that we have in the future and recommend him to anyone in the greater Glendale, CA area.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.

The common, marked as COM or C, is one of the terminals found in your light switch. It houses the live wire that supplies the input voltage. The other terminals, marked as L1 or L2, are the outputs to the light fixtures. Depending on if you have a one-way or two-way switch, you’ll either have just an L1 terminal or both an L1 and L2 terminal.

A home electrical inspection usually takes one to two hours. Full home inspections fall on the longer side, while code compliance inspections that focus on a single repair or installation may only take a few minutes. Optional add-ons like infrared inspections can add time, but these aren’t usually included in your standard inspection.

Wiring an outlet can be done safely by someone with the proper knowledge and tools, but it can also be dangerous if not done correctly. If you're not comfortable working with electrical systems, it's best to hire a licensed electrician to do the job for you. That way, you can rest assured that your outlet will be rewired safely and quickly. 

You can have power but no lights if the light switch is damaged. A damaged light switch is often caused by regular wear and tear or loose wires. In addition, simple problems such as a burnt-out light bulb or an unplugged lamp could be the cause of not having working lights.
