Customers say: Quick response

"Washer and dryer suddenly stopped working and we could not correct by checking electrical box. Ryan came to our house quickly and found that he could correct the problem with simple resetting the electrical box and did not charge for the service. He was informative, friendly and we have kept his card for any future electrical needs. You will not be disappointed if you hire Ryan Deeds, owner of Lock & Alert Electrical Systems. Thank you, Ryan."

"I needed 2 ceiling fans installed in areas without existing lighting or wiring. I searched Home Advisor and found JC Electric. Joe (owner) had great communication, sent calendar invites for the appointments and sent a confirmation text the morning of the appt. Nariel, the technician, was outstanding! Polite, professional, respectful, and explained the process. More importantly, he tolerated my dog Zoe who feels everyone is there to her and she wanted to be his helper. Haha Joe texted me when the job was complete to see how everything went. I also immediately received an email with my receipt for payment. I will definitely be using JC Electric for future electrical needs."

"Earl was great, it was raining hard for San Diego standards and gave me a call that he would be a little late. Once he was here he took his time to understand what the problem was and help us uncover 3 issues that we were having with one of them being a potential fire hazard. I would definitely recommend his work for anyone needing help with electrical issues. Thank you for your service to our country as well!"

"Matt came to our house to give an estimate of running a new electric line from the meter to an internal location. He provided an estimate in a timely manner via email and also offered a first-timer Angie's List discount. It also made it more convenient that he was willing to come out on a Sunday since we both have busy work schedules during the week.
On the day of service, he came out promptly and finished the work within the time window promised. (Before he got started, I changed the location of the electrical box, and he accommodated without complaint or excuses.) Every question I asked indicated that he had done the job to code. Before leaving, I mentioned that we were considering upgrading our electrical panel, and he also gave us some advice about timing with SDG&E and the city (how long things take). 
Matt is a professional. I like to try out a contractor with a small job rather than risking a big job on someone I don't know. I appreciate how prompt and excellent he was, treating a very small job as if it were important. As I called around to get multiple quotes, I definitely felt like some professional electricians thought my job was too small to respond quickly, and other small-time electricians who did respond quickly made me doubt whether they would do things to code/by the book. I'm glad I found Matt, and I would hire him again and recommend him to others.

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

Circuit breakers can wear out, but it takes a long time. Circuit breakers typically last several decades if they don’t face problems like floods or frequent lightning storms. Worn-out circuit breakers may trip more frequently as time passes. However, they can also stop tripping altogether, which leads to electrical dangers. If your breakers have passed the 30-year mark, it’s time to consider an inspection.

Buying a house with aluminum wiring requires careful consideration due to potential fire risks. Ensure a thorough inspection by a licensed electrician to assess the condition and identify necessary safety upgrades—factor in these additional costs when deciding. While it may not be a total deal-breaker, understanding the risks and required maintenance is necessary. Also, you should consult your insurer about coverage for homes with aluminum wiring to know whether the house is insurable.

Yes, it’s safe to strip a wire if you follow the proper safety precautions. First and foremost, you must always disconnect the power and never try stripping a live wire. Using wire strippers is another safety precaution, but don’t forget to keep your fingers away from the blade. It’s also critical you only remove the insulation and not accidentally cut into the conductor, which is unlikely as long as you’re using the right-sized wire stripper.

This depends on how many outlets you have and the current status of your electrical system. The cost to ground an outlet clocks in at $75 to $480 per outlet, so multiply that by the number of outlets in your home to arrive at a rough estimate. However, this is for simple projects with no obvious issues with the system. Your final bill could vary widely from your calculations.

Track lighting typically needs to be hardwired, connecting directly to the electrical wiring in your ceiling for a permanent and reliable power source. Hardwiring provides a clean and professional look with no visible cords. However, plug-in track lighting options can be connected to a standard electrical outlet, offering easier installation and flexibility. The choice between hardwired and plug-in track lighting depends on your needs, preferences, and existing electrical setup.
