"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

Electrical fixes are best handled by a licensed electrician, but it’s possible to release a wire connection on your own. Be sure to always turn off the power to the outlet at the circuit breaker before beginning your project to avoid electric shock. Carefully insert the tip of a flat screwdriver into the rectangular hole beneath the wire. Hold the outlet in the palm of your other hand. Pull out the wire as you apply pressure with the screwdriver.

It’s not recommended to turn off your breaker box in hopes of saving electricity. Breaker boxes were not designed to constantly be switched on and off. Therefore, turning off breakers unnecessarily can cause costly damage that outnumbers any energy savings. Only flip your breakers if absolutely necessary when troubleshooting an electrical issue.

Three-way switches are only replaceable with three-way switches. A single-pole switch won't work if you replace one or more of a pair of three-way switches. By electrical code, three-way switch configurations are necessary at the top and bottom of a staircase between residential floors.

The major difference between a GFCI breaker and an AFCI breaker is that a GFCI breaker protects against fatal shocks while an AFCI breaker prevent electrical fires. A GFCI breaker senses when the electrical current to ground is overloaded and trips to prevent major accidents or injuries. AFCI breakers trip when it detects dangerous electrical arcing.

The most common type of electrical outlet is a 3-prong outlet, which has two flat blades (one is wider than the other) and a round grounding pin. Older homes typically have 2-prong outlets that aren’t as safe as more modern options and are generally not up to current electrical codes.  Other outlets you can find in your home include 20A, 125 volt varieties for larger appliances like refrigerators or washing machines. 

There are also GFCI outlets, which protect against electrical shock in wet areas, such as bathrooms and kitchens, and arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) outlets, which protect against electrical fires caused by arcing.
