What people in Pacific Grove call about
- Sparks when you plug something in, or a breaker that will not reset
- Two-prong outlets throughout, or three-prong outlets with no ground path
- An insurer asking for documentation before renewing a policy
- A breaker handle feels loose, will not stay in the on position, or is hot
- Too few outlets, so extension cords run across rooms
- Every repair uncovers a new problem because the wire itself is the problem
- Repeated outages that threaten food, heat, sump pumps or medical equipment
If any of those are happening now, treat the circuit as suspect: switch it off at the panel and have it tested rather than resetting a breaker repeatedly.

Workmanship warranties are set by the contractor, and one to two years on labour is common on larger jobs, with manufacturers covering the equipment separately. Ask for the warranty terms in writing on the invoice, not verbally.
Do you charge for estimates?
Many contractors give a free estimate on planned work such as a panel replacement, charger install or rewire, while diagnostic visits for an unknown fault usually carry a trip fee that is often credited toward the repair. The exact policy varies by contractor, and it should be confirmed on the phone before anyone travels.

How do I know the electrician is licensed?
Ask for the licence number before work begins and confirm it with the licensing authority for your state or municipality. Electrical licensing is handled at state level in most of the country and at city or county level in a few large metro areas, so the correct place to verify depends on where you live. A licensed contractor will give you the number, and usually the insurance certificate too, without being asked twice.
