"Called Paul to consult on a quick charger for an electric vehicle as well as to replace several outdoor outlets at my home. He went above and beyond to plot out the best and cheapest path from our electrical panel to the driveway in our renovated and added onto â 50â s ranch. The work he did I was quick and quality. We have plans to have him back for more in the spring. Highly recommend!"

"Mike from A&B electric did an excellent job on what I consider a complicated project. The project required conversion to 220V, sub-panel installation, external receptacle, switch, and device wiring; I'm delighted with his attention to detail, customer service, and overall execution."

"Joe did a fantastic job installing our new exterior sconces. Fox several recessed lights in our kitchen and updated them. He installed a wireless three way switch in our kitchen that none of the contractors would touch. He very knowledgeable and worked with us to keep the cost manageable. I highly recommend him for any electrical project"

"I had an excellent experience with Andy and his team. I had difficulty finding a competent electrician in my area until I broadened my search and found Eight Electric. Very competent, indeed! At our house, we wanted to move our underground service (relocated the utility power meter to an off-house free-standing support), add a custom industrial remote contactor, add a ground wire and demote the main panel to a distribution panel. This was not a trivial effort to do in one day, especially since the surface was at freezing temps and groundwater filled the trench on the day of work. Eight Electric worked with me to understand my exact requirements, set up the permit and coordinated with the utility. Two experienced electricians and two apprenticing electricians arrived and dug into the task, quite literally. In the end, and despite some late afternoon curveballs, Andy & Co. finished the task and the electrical inspector signed off all in the same day. Andy was easy to work with, reliable, communicated effectively by email, and had office help to organize the paperwork. I especially appreciated that I was allowed to feel I was a valued partner in this effort. I had very strict requirements and so monitored the day's activities -- the electricians did not freak out from the scrutiny, but instead were confident of their expertise. A win, win for all!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

No, it’s not normal. When an outlet is hot, something is wrong. Our tips above may help you pinpoint the problem, but when in doubt, always bring in a qualified electrician to deal with the issue. 

The life expectancy of a circuit breaker is 30 to 40 years. However, how long your circuit breaker lasts depends on the condition of your electrical equipment, the amperage, your electrical consumption, and more. A breaker box that frequently trips from overload will last much shorter than a breaker box with the proper amperage for the number of devices and appliances in use. If your circuit breaker trips frequently, and you have also increased your electrical consumption, it may be worth upgrading your electrical panel to extend your electrical system’s lifespan—and save you the hassle of frequent power trips.

Yes, California law requires that electricians be licensed by the state in order to do electrical work. However, there is an exception for small jobs valued at $500 or less. In these cases, an unlicensed handyperson is legally allowed to do the work. Limit hiring unlicensed contractors to minor tasks and fixes around your home.

There are a few reasons your lights may be on, but the rest of your electrical outlets and appliances are not working. The first is that while one circuit blew out, the lights may be on another circuit than your other electrical fixtures. Alternatively, your powerless appliances may be plugged into a GFCI outlet that was tripped and needs to be reset. If these issues aren’t responsible for the problem, you may have dead outlets or a wiring issue. Either way, you should contact an electrician to identify and fix the issue.

Upgrading your amp service could possibly be a solution to tripped breakers. Circuit breakers in an electrical panel trip as a safety measure when something goes wrong with the current, and that’s often caused by plugged-in devices trying to draw too much current. Replacing the electrical panel with a new model and new breakers designed for higher amps can fix this problem.
