"I hired Swenson Electric to run electricity from my house to a newly built detached garage! Nathan was a pleasure to work with! He explained what could be done and the bid was very reasonable! I would hire them again for any electrical work!"

"Josiah was punctual. He did a fine job He replaced a few feet of plastic water lines with copper pipe and secured it to a piece of wood to hold it tight I had noticed when the washer filled with water the plastic water tubing would jump around. This secured it ! He put in a new faucet. It looks very nice. He got it all done in a timely manner. He was very pleasant and explained what needed to be done and we agreed. We also had him flush our water heater too we were very pleased with his work."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

There are a few telltale signs that it’s time for a replacement. You should consider an upgrade if:

  • Your panel is over 25 years old

  • You’re adding a new electrical system

  • Your current system doesn’t offer the power you need

  • Your home is a jungle of power strips

The best place to put an electrical outlet depends on your needs. A good rule of thumb is to install outlets every 6 feet in large rooms. Hallways over 10 feet long need one electrical outlet minimum. 

If you find yourself needing extra plug-ins for all of your gadgets, you may want to increase the number of electrical outlets in your room. When adding outlets, keep in mind that older homes could have outdated electrical panels. In these cases, you may need a pro to upgrade you from 100-amp to 200-amp service before increasing the power load.

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.

Hiring a professional electrician to wire a house costs anywhere from $1,500 to $10,000 or more depending on the size and complexity of the project. Most professional electricians charge $50 to $100 per hour. While the extra expense is significant, it’s worth it to ensure the safety of your home’s electrical system. 

Single-pole light switches are the most common light switches on the market. Their simple features make them easy to install and use. For more powerful applications that require 30 or 40 amps, you may need to use a double-pole switch. Some homeowners may want multi-way switches like three-way or four-way switches to control a light fixture from opposing ends of the room.
