"I called Elektron Electric on the advice of one of my friends and I'm glad that I did. My friends tell me that I'm a tough customer who is hard to please, but I couldn't be any happier with the job done for me by Elektron Electric. The job was to install a Tesla Wall Connector which is not rocket science, but there are a lot of details that need to be considered before doing the job. Rodrigo Moreno showed up on time and provided me with a detailed estimate after spending a considerable amount of time examining my electrical service as well as doing an electrical load analysis to ensure that my existing service was adequate for the increased load. I had a few other estimates where they didn't examine my existing service and panel configuration nor did they even mention a load analysis. I was expecting a higher estimate, but I was happy to be wrong! My appointment a few days later came off without a hitch. The electrician, Amaral, and his assistant, Gabriel, showed up on time and did an excellent job. Besides the quality of work, I really appreciated their willingness to accept my input and discuss what I wanted. They even took the time to explain to me why some of my ideas were not all that great. After all, THEY are the electricians! I have already begun making a list of jobs for them to do in my house. I have also recommended them to a few of my friends. If you need electrical work done, I would not hesitate to call them. You won't be disappointed."

"My wife and I received several estimates for electrical work on our home through Angie’s List and the technicians from Top Dog Electrical Inc. stood out from the rest due to their enthusiasm to perform the job properly, up to building code, and accommodate our requests. Some companies recommended performing the electrical work that would have changed the aesthetics of our home in a negative way because they wanted to avoid the attic. Other companies didn’t like to discuss the details of how they planned to accomplish some of our projects. Then Chad from Top Dog Electrics Inc. showed up to discuss our electrical projects and I remember Chad commenting, “no job is impossible.” A couple weeks later Chad and Guy showed up to start our projects and later called in reinforcements to help complete all of the work on time. All of our projects were completed as requested to perfection and in a proficient and timely manner. Not to mention that Chad and company repaired the necessary access holes in the walls to facilitate the completion of the jobs. Who does that? Chad and company at Top Dog Electrical did! Thank you, gentlemen, for a job well done. My wife and I were totally impressed."

"I only have positive things to talk about this company. I used them to install a new electrical system, and enhance my light fixtures. I found them on YGRENE preferred list. They're super professional, prompt, honest and hard working team. I am very pleased with their work. I love the communication with Pedro (owner). You can tell he takes great pride in providing the best experience for the customers. The receptionist Mariana was always communicative throughout the process. The technician were super professional and got the job done fast. I work in the real estate business and sometimes its hard to find a honest, professional and good quality electrician contractor to refer to clients. Now I have an electrician to call for my needs and refer to my clients. Great experience. I highly recommend them for all electrical repair or upgrade needs including generators, solar panels, cameras. You name it. They do it all."

"Had them install a ceiling fan in living room where there was no existing hole or electricity. They had the challenge of running the wires thru attic with very little crawl space. They competed the job with no issues and I was happy with the services."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

To install an outlet from existing wiring, you’ll need to choose a location where you can already access existing wiring. The easiest way to do this is to install an outlet on the other side of the wall of an existing outlet. 

Since the wiring is already in place, all you have to do is connect a new cable to the existing wiring and then connect the correct wires through the wall—to the new electrical outlet. Place your new outlet into the opening in the wall and then connect the correct wires to the appropriate terminal screws.

According to the National Electrical Code (NEC), GFCI outlets should be installed in wet or damp locations where they might be splashed with water or other liquids. This is to protect against ground faults, which are more common around water. Specific areas that require GFCI outlets include kitchens (especially near counters), bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, garages, and all outdoor receptacles. Depending on local electrical codes, you may need at least one GFCI outlet in these rooms, or every outlet in the area may need to be GFCI protected.

You're in luck, because replacing a breaker panel is not a regular occurrence that most homeowners have to worry about. Electrical breaker panels last 25 to 40 years, assuming you properly maintain your system and conduct annual inspections. Factors like load demand and exposure to the elements slightly reduce a breaker panel’s lifespan.

Burnt outlets can be caused by things such as faulty wiring, loose connections, or a circuit overload—and yes, they are extremely dangerous. If you notice your outlet is hot or has burn marks, you should shut off the power to it from the circuit breaker and immediately call an electrician.

In most cases, line wires are located at the bottom of a panel or device, while load wires are located at the top. Line wires are generally black, while load wires are typically red or black. To tell for sure, you can use a multimeter or volt pen to test the wire. A live or line wire will always carry a charge, while a load wire will only carry a charge when it’s in use.
