Troubleshooting
Have your outlets, switches or lights stopped working? Elect Electric has an expert ready to help.
Plugs (electrical outlets), switches, dimmers and panels help us control our power and are taken for granted.... until they stop working. A home or business comes with a complex electrical system that needs regular maintenance and care. Because electricity works so well and is very dependable we often take it for granted. This can be inconvenient and dangerous when things go wrong.
Elect Electric has professional state certified electricians that are familiar with residential, and commercial electrical systems. We can help you find the problem quickly using superior technology and training, offer solutions to correct the issue and complete the work to get you up and running again.

Ceiling Fans
Ceiling fans add comfort and style to a room. They also help save on heating and cooling costs by cooling down individuals in the room. You may want to get one off the self at a Big Box store or purchase a better fan from Casablanca or Minka Air, either way you have to start with choosing a size. Here is a guide that will help you choose the right fan for your room. Click Here
If you would like help selecting a fan we can help with that as well.

If you are ready to install a ceiling fan and you want it installed safely and up to cade give Elect a call today. In many cases your fan can be installed the same day we come out to give you the upfront price.
Main Panel / Panel Upgrades (MPU)
Panels are a long lasting investment that you want to be sure get done right the first time. Elect Electric is an expert at replacing panels including the main panel, where the utility company (PG&E), connects electricity to your home. You may do this type of work if your home is older and/or if you need more capacity to add additional electrical loads. This work requires coordination with PG&E and the city or county and we take care of this for you.
A main service replacement/upgrade includes a new panel, all new breakers, a new riser and service wires(for overhead services), installation and labeling. The job typically requires a site visit, application process with PG&E and a permit from the governing authority. The majority of the work onsite is normally completed in one working day with power being off at the home for about 6-8 hours. Elect Electric has completed hundreds of service replacements and can help you today.
Lighting
Lighting in your home or office makes the space function the way you want it. In work spaces, like the kitchen, garage or office, you need bright lighting that helps get the work done. In spaces like a living room or a home theater you want control over the lights to be bright when needed and dim to set the proper mood. In bathrooms it is best to have lights located so that they will not cast shadows on your face as you look in the mirror. In dining rooms or living spaces you want special lighting that functions and says something about your personal style.
Whatever your lighting needs Elect Electric understands that getting the lighting completed the way our clients envision is important. We can handle any lighting installation you may require. From high ceilings to ornate crystal chandeliers. From ceiling fixtures to LED recessed lights we have the experience installing many varieties of fixtures in many types of space. To get started on your lighting project give Elect a call today.
Plugs, Switches & Dimmers
Plugs (electrical outlets), switches & dimmers are used to control the power in your home. Technology today is moving fast and there are many safety updates as well as handy innovations that can give you control of your lighting from anywhere in the world. You may not be aware of some of the ways your devices can be upgraded for safety or style. Did you know new outlets have built in child proofing? Did you know you can get switches and outlets in more colors than white and ivory? Did you know you can turn on your driveway lights from the movie theatre?

Smoke & CO Detector Services
We have all been rudely woken up in the middle of the night by those pesky smoke detectors. In most cases this is due to the batteries having run down. Why are they such a nuisance?

Not only do they detect smoke and CO, provide a helpful nightlight, they also perform a self check before night time and send you a notification if their is a problem.

We install all major brands like: Kidde, First Alert, Nest Protect and Honeywell. We install hardwired smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors as well as wireless interconnected smoke and CO detectors.
Electrical Maintenance Services
An electrical system in a home or business is complex. Electrical systems work so well they are regularly taken for granted which can lead to the system becoming unsafe. An unsafe system is more likely to have a surprising and expensive issue or worse, it can cause injury and/or death to those using the it. Many electrical issues can be avoided with regular maintenance. For our cars we have regular service to keep things running well, it is no different for our electrical system. An annual inspection of a home or regular evaluations of a commercial electrical system will increase safety and decrease the likeliness of a major problem.
Elect Electric offers a home safety evaluation for home owners and for businesses. We can customize a maintenance schedule to meet your facilities needs. Call today to get started with a plan to keep your electrical system running and safe.
220 - 240 & 277 - 480 Volt Power
Home and business equipment can be powered by a range of voltages from 120 volts to 240 volts through 480 volts and can be single or three phase (480 volts and three phase power is typically only in commercial or industrial applications) . The voltage and phase at your location depends upon what is supplied by the utility company (PG&E). Most homes have a single phase 120-240 volt electrical service. This means they have the ability to have 120 volts and/or 240 volts for different applications.
Higher voltages are a more efficient way to operate heavy loads. Loads like heaters, air conditioners, welders, spas, ovens, ranges, convection cook tops, kilns or electric vehicles are typically 208-240 volts. Elect Electric has expertise in all of these voltages and can help you get the power you need safely where you need it.
Whole House Fans & Attic Fans
Whenever evenings cool off, it just makes sense to harness the cool fresh air nature provides, rather than expensively conditioning your own. A whole house fan creates a wonderfully fresh living and sleeping environment, for a fraction of the cost of A/C. It's one of the best energy efficiency investments you can make, and one of the most enjoyable too.
Attic fans passively work to keep super heated air out of your attic space. This can cool your home down by as much as 10 degrees and prolong the life of your roof.
Whether you have just heard about whole house fans and attic fans or already know what you want, Elect Electric can send out a professional to select and install the right fan for your home. We install all major brands like: Airscape & Quiet Cool.

Custom Homes, Remodels & Rewires
Elect Electric focuses on quality craftsmanship and great customer service. Whether you are remodeling your existing business or building your dream home we can help you by installing an excellent electrical system that fits your needs and wants.
