"The power went out in out home about 9:45 PM. Checked outside and neighbors and all seemed to have power. FLP said power was coming to our home. Called other electrical companies for electrician with no success. Called Gulf Coast Electric. Spoke with Eddie and he drove from Crestview to our home in Shalimar in less than an hour. We explained the problem and he knew where to start and found we had a finicky main switch. He replaced it and we had power restored in less than thirty minutes. My husband and I are very impressed with Eddie's promptness, professionalism and skill. Even though the repair took place after midnight, Eddie demonstrated zeal for the job like it was a regular work hour. We both are thankful and grateful for Eddie restoring power in our home."

"They installed a whole-house generator. Years ago, someone told me The most important part of a home generator is being able to get service They did everything: pulled permits, installed the generator, installed the electrical change over panel, and provide annual preventative maintenance. They are 5 Star!"

He took extra care to plan the rod and cable placement to ensure the proper protection and retain the aesthetics of our home. His crew were knowledgeable, polite, neat and efficient. We could not be more pleased with the results."

"Raymond and his apprentice did a wonderful job replacing all the drawer slides for our kitchen drawers. He was very meticulous with ensuring the hardware he replaced was proper for the job. He showed us how the original slides were installed incorrectly, causing them to fail to work properly. He was pleasant, knowledgeable and timely, and his labor costs are very affordable and competitive. We would not hesitate to hire him for other projects."

"I had the best experience working with Blue Marlin Electric for my electrical panel and ceiling lights! They were extremely efficient and reasonably priced. The electricians are very knowledgeable and made my home much safer. I also love that they are a locally-owned company. I will hire them again in the future and highly recommend Blue Marlin!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The most common type of electrical outlet is a 3-prong outlet, which has two flat blades (one is wider than the other) and a round grounding pin. Older homes typically have 2-prong outlets that aren’t as safe as more modern options and are generally not up to current electrical codes.  Other outlets you can find in your home include 20A, 125 volt varieties for larger appliances like refrigerators or washing machines. 

There are also GFCI outlets, which protect against electrical shock in wet areas, such as bathrooms and kitchens, and arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) outlets, which protect against electrical fires caused by arcing.

Installing a circuit breaker is best handled by a local professional electrician. This project requires following strict electrical codes, and might even involve permits. Not only can electrical work be dangerous, but without the proper training that a pro will have, you could cause further damage to your home’s electrical system.

Yes, a faulty or broken light switch can be a serious fire hazard. Malfunctioning switches, often due to loose connections, exposed wiring, or overheating, can cause sparking or arcing. If you hear a crackling, popping, or hissing sound when you use the switch, it indicates live electricity arcing inside, which is a significant hazard that can ignite nearby flammable materials. If you suspect your light switch is faulty, turn off the power to that circuit at the breaker and contact a qualified electrician to remedy the issue.

There is no blanket figure for a residential home’s electrical load, since load varies by the size of the home, how many appliances are used, and the efficiency of their electrical systems. Typically, however, it’s safe to assume 40 to 60 amps is the average electrical load of a residential home. 

Like any other household appliance, electric fireplaces can wear out after about 10 to 20 years. With more frequent use, the parts will wear out quicker, and you may get just 7 to 10 years out of a well-loved electric fireplace. Fortunately, electric fireplaces come with a lower upfront installation cost compared to alternatives like gas, so you can install a replacement for less.
