FAQs
What types of small-scale electrical repairs do you handle in Monterey?
We take care of most household and light-commercial repairs, including troubleshooting dead outlets, fixing flickering lights, replacing switches, upgrading light fixtures, repairing ceiling-fan wiring, swapping out GFCI/AFCI devices, installing dedicated appliance circuits, and correcting minor panel or breaker issues. If it involves 120- or 240-volt branch-circuit wiring inside your home or business, we can usually repair or replace it the same day.
Are your electricians licensed and familiar with Monterey’s local codes?
Yes. Every technician who arrives at your door holds a current California C-10 electrical contractor’s license and completes ongoing training in the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) updates as adopted by the State of California. We also stay current with Monterey County permit requirements and PG&E service standards, so your repair is completed safely and passes inspection when one is required.
How quickly can you schedule and finish a minor repair?
For most small jobs we can offer same-day or next-day appointments within the Monterey Peninsula, including Pacific Grove, Seaside, and Carmel. Typical on-site repair time ranges from 30 minutes to two hours. If parts need to be ordered, we’ll make the wiring safe, return as soon as the components arrive, and keep you updated throughout the process.
How is pricing determined for small electrical jobs?
We use flat, up-front pricing. After a brief phone discussion—or an in-person diagnostic if the problem is unclear—we give you a written quote that covers labor, standard materials, and the trip charge. You approve the price before we start, so there are no surprises. Seniors, military personnel, and return customers receive a 10 % discount on labor.
Can I perform a minor electrical repair myself, or should I hire a professional?
California law allows homeowners to work on their own property, but even "simple" tasks like replacing a switch can expose you to shock, fire hazards, or code violations if done incorrectly. Our electricians carry the proper test instruments, know how to identify hidden wiring defects, and are insured for your protection. For safety and to preserve your homeowner’s insurance coverage, we recommend hiring a licensed professional for anything beyond changing a light bulb.
Do you provide a warranty or guarantee on the repair work?
Absolutely. All labor is backed by a 1-year workmanship warranty, and all new parts are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty—typically one to five years. If the exact issue we repaired recurs within 12 months, we’ll return, fix it, and verify proper operation at no additional cost.
