"Patriot did the electrical work for my brand-new kitchen. They were very diligent during the project and were quick to get my input for the small issues that came up along the way. Dylan and his workers displayed exceptional professionalism, skill, and an eye for fine details. I would hire them again in a heartbeat if I need major electrical work in the future. Thank you, Patriot!"

"We contacted Time with Louis Electric on a Saturday when my elderly parents well went out. They have horses and other livestock and it was very important we got them up and running. It was determined that the wiring to the pumphouse was bad. Tim was on a job Saturday but agreed to come out Sunday. He quoted us a very reasonable price and came earlier than expected, after calling to make sure that worked for us. He was able to find the problem in a mess of wires running from a pole to the pumphouse and shop and fix them. He went the extra mile and made sure that all the wires had good connectors, etc. He was extremely professional, did a great job and was extremely reasonable in his costs as well. I would recommend Louis Electric anytime for electrical work. Very nice guy and great service."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

A 3-prong, 15-amp, 120-volt outlet is standard in the U.S. These have two vertical slots and a U-shaped grounding hole, which suits most home electronics, from televisions to microwaves. Three-pronged outlets are safer than 2-pronged ones, as the third wire, known as the grounding wire, helps prevent shocks and electrical fires.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Yes, you can convert a gas water heater to an electric one, but it is a complex process. You will need to ensure there is adequate power for the new electric unit, as they require more power than gas models. The project also involves safely closing off the gas lines and ventilation, and some cities may require a permit for the conversion. The cost can range from $1,500 to $4,100, depending on the installation scope, plumbing and electrical work, and the water heater model. For an accurate quote, it's best to contact a local professional. Also, be aware that your monthly utility bills may increase after the conversion, as natural gas is typically cheaper than electricity.

When removing an old security alarm system, you likely won't need to remove any of the wiring. Wiring can either be left in place for a replacement system or capped off for safety and pushed into the wall. If you're uncomfortable with the wiring, or if it's badly damaged, contact a professional electrician for assistance with safe removal.

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.
