"Juan came out and gave us a price to replace bathroom exhaust fans and light fixtures in both of our bathrooms. He told us how long the work would take and that was how long it took. He worked nonstop for four hours and charged us just what he told us he would. His work is excellent and precise. We feel very fortunate that our search for an electrician started with him. We would call Juan first when we have need again for any electrical work."

"I asked Community Electric to check out our electric service panel and advise us about upgrading it. Harut looked at the system and explained what was involved in simply replacing the panel with a new 100amp panel and upgrading it to handle more circuits. He pointed out several factors we never considered. He also gave me ballpark estimates for each option that seemed very reasonable. I appreciated his honesty and clarity. While we ultimately decided not to do anything at the moment, I would not hesitate calling him to do any electrical work I may need in the future. Knowing a good electrician is invaluable when you need one and I met one today."

"Jeremy and Joe from Nichols Electric were amazing. They came out the same day, designed and installed lighting and outlets for my garage and exterior. They even came back and moved some outlets for me in my new house. They were extremely pleasant to work with and helped me understand every step of the process. I'm definitely going to use them again on my next project."

"Our house is over 30 years old and the electrical panel was in questionable state after various contractors over the years had accessed it for their projects. For safety and security reasons, we had Rooster Electric upgrade the electrical panel. The electrician needed to cut the house siding to install the new panel and did so expertly, providing new trim and caulking. The job looks great and we feel safer now that the panel is up to specs. Thank you, Rooster Electric, for walking us through the project and doing excellent work. Weâ re so tired of contractors taking the quick and easy route to get their job done rather than providing good, respectable customer service. Youâ ll get our recommendation whenever someone asks if we know a good and trustworthy electrical company. L&N in Fair Oaks"

"Jason responded quickly to my call. He replaced the electrical panel in my home. Jason was courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. He seriously knows what he is doing. He communicates well and was able to explain to me (a very non technical person) what was happening. I would definitely hire him again."

"Arthur installed 17 light cans and removed an old fluorescent light box and 2 chandeliers. He is so precise and explained carefully/clearly why he was making the suggestions that he was. The light placements are perfect. He responded to my texts in a very timely manner, arrived when he said he would, and left the house clean where they worked. His price was very reasonable and I would definitely use ATM Electric again."

FAQs for electrical service projects in Fair Oaks, CA

In some states and municipalities, licensed and registered handypersons can change a light fixture and do minor electrical work. However, you should check with your state and local licensing boards before hiring a local handyperson. In most cases, it’s safer and more practical to hire an electrician for this job. It may cost more, but hiring a licensed electrician means they’ll get the work done to code.

Special light fixtures, known as damp-rated light fixtures, are recommended in bathrooms, particularly if they're near damp areas like showers and over the bathtub. However, in most locations, they’re not a strict requirement. For safety and longevity, damp-rated fixtures are a better choice. If you work with a lighting contractor in your area, they may be able to recommend the right kinds of fixtures for your space.

Yes, it’s possible to run a second light fixture to a switch, meaning the light switch would control more than one light fixture. Several factors can impact whether it’s possible and how much it will cost. In many cases, it may be easier and more affordable for the contractor to install independent light switches. Talk to your electrician about your idea to get their feedback.
