"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."

"Matt and Dominique of Inland Empire Construction, were professional, capable, caring and went above and beyond remodeling my entire bathroom. They listened, communicated, problem solved, made suggestions and provided exceptional service. Since it was the only bathroom, Matt reinstalled the toilet each day. The new bathroom is remarkably!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The cost of fixing faulty wiring depends on the type of repair required. Replacing an electrical service line, for example, can cost up to $500. Rewiring an entire house will cost at least several thousand dollars. Replacing old wiring like knob and tube wiring will be even more expensive, but fortunately that kind of outdated wiring is fairly rare. Always get an estimate from a reliable electrician to learn the cost details. 

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 When adding outlets, keep in mind that older homes could have outdated electrical panels.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.

By nature, two-prong outlets aren't grounded—but the box they run to might be, which makes them safer. The safest way to test if an outlet is grounded is to purchase a circuit tester, which cost about $20 at home improvement stores. 

If you discover your outlet (or outlets) aren't grounded, know that this greatly increases your risk of personal injury and electrical fires. You may want to consider installing new three-prong ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets. On average, the cost to install GFCI outlets is about $210 per outlet.

The NEC requires electrical outlets be installed in a kitchen that has a sink 12 inches wide and 24 inches deep. According to the code, that outlet must be within 2 feet of the kitchen sink. Bathrooms must have at least one electrical outlet, it must be GFCI, and it must be within 3 feet of the bathroom sink.

You can add an electrical outlet outside by sending a wire through the wall from an existing interior outlet. Without having to open up walls, you can thread a new electrical cable from the existing outlet through the wall and to the exterior. You’ll need to cut a hole in the siding to place your new outlet. Ensure that your outdoor outlet is a GFCI outlet (ground fault circuit interrupter outlet) per the National Electrical Code. It’s best to hire an electrician to add an outdoor outlet unless you have previous electrical experience.
