"While on vacation in Vancouver, BC, we got word from a friend who was checking on the house that he had to put out a fire in our main electrical meter box. Needless to say, we were ready to head back home when we couldn't reach our regular electrician. We phoned 3-4 Angie's List A-rated electricians and left messages to call us ASAP (one called back; the other never did). Finally one electrician answered and referred us to POP Electric, very close to our house. Darren, the owner, talked to us himself and had Chris, the previous owner of POP, out to our place within 2 hours. Chris checked in with our friend and us throughout the process. The problem was faulty installation by PSE, and Chris had the problem repaired in about 5 hours. He checked inside the house for other problem and even checked on our freezer. We are grateful that POP handled the problem by phone and email with us and experted solved the problem - and that we were able to enjoy the rest of our vacation. We think the price was very reasonable - especially considering the circumstances - and plan on using POP as our go-to electrician in the future. "
"Andrew did and excellent electrical installation. He was on time, personable and very knowledgeable. The office staff person, Teresa, communicated regularly with us and kept us informed of our scheduling options. We are very satisfied with Exact Electric and plan to use them again whenever we need electrical services."
"The response from Jimmy of Freedom Systems was immediate. He was knowledgeable and courteous and was able to solve a problem with our security system on the phone at no charge. We also wanted lighting replaced for our sport court and we are pleased with the outcome. We weren't sure what type of light to use since the one we had was on a 20 foot post. It somehow kept getting water in the light and blowing the bulb which wasn't cheap to replace. The electrician replaced this light with an LED light that should not need the bulb replaced for years. Problem solved. We will definitely use Freedom Systems in the future for electrical or security system needs. "
"We are in the process of putting together a small hair salon and needed a licensed/bonded/insured electrician to be sure that the install of fixtures and wiring was to code requirements. After several months of planning and talking with numerous electricians on the phone, I found Troy, owner of Pacific Home Electric, to be by far, the best choice for the job. He was quite honest and up front about true costs of accessories, needing to do an on-site estimate for greatest pricing accuracy, and even went out of his way to tell me where to get my own fixtures to save even more money. Of the 5 licensed electricians I talked to, none of them would come and do a pre-estimate other than Troy at PHE. All others wanted to just schedule the appointment and gave me ballpark estimates of what the cost could be and left it open to "..depending on the situation when we see it." They showed up just a few minutes past the scheduled time due to GPS routing issues and this was quite understandable as I tend to live quite a ways away from their familiar territory. He and his journeyman got to work immediately upon arrival. They were well-prepared with a company van which seemed to be stocked with every conceivable item needed to tackle some of the odd on-demand requests I had made after the fact. This was amazing to me! The weather was exceptionally hot during the installation (102 degrees and no air conditioning!) but this didn't seem to faze them. They worked straight through the day, only stopping for 30 minutes to grab a quick lunch. At the end of the process, I made a last minute request to drop in an extra outlet and Troy even threw that in at no extra charge. So technically, the total came out lower than what the estimate would have been had I requested that up front. At the end of the day, Troy followed up with me again one last time to make sure that everything was well and that I was completely happy with the install, which I was. I've permanently affixed their business card to my wall next to the fuse panel and won't even need to think twice about calling them to do my next upcoming project or problem."
"They are my go to electricians. I have had others out in the past but stopped doing that once Varsity Electric completed our first of multiple electric projects. I have had them do light fixture replacements, troubleshooting and repairs, adding outdoor electrical and replace all outlet receptacles in the house and bringing them up to code. They have always been prompt, courteous, professional and knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to have electrical work done."
"Miller’s electrical is amazing. They have done small and big installs for me. The Miller boys are local and treat customers like family. I would hire them in a heart beat."
No, it is not safe to use an outlet that sparked. A spark from an outlet could indicate a short circuit, loose or frayed wiring, or other serious damage. Continuing to use an outlet that sparks can increase the risk of electrical shock, electrical fires, and other hazards. It's important to turn off the power to the outlet at the circuit breaker if possible and avoid using the outlet until a licensed electrician has inspected and repaired it.
An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.
A C-wire is typically blue, but don’t rely on colors to find which wire is which when it comes to thermostat wires. The C-wire may also be black, brown, or purple. Instead, if you’re looking for the C-wire, look at the thermostat panel for a wire connecting to “terminal C,” or call in a pro to help you look for a C-wire.
Several signs can indicate a light switch is bad. If the switch feels loose, slides down after you flip it, or requires multiple flicks to turn the light on, it may be failing. Other common indicators include flickering lights or a general failure to turn the light on or off. Pay attention to any unusual sounds, such as crackling, buzzing, or popping when you operate the switch. More serious signs, which can present a fire or shock hazard, include the switch feeling excessively warm or hot, sparking, smoking, or emitting a burning smell. If you notice any of these dangerous signs, stop using the switch immediately and call an electrician.
