    " When we needed an electrician for a small job at our home, we asked our friend who knew Alfonso. He raved about the extensive rewiring work Alfonso had done on his whole house remodel. So, we called Alfonso who came out to look. It was a small job of safely off the circuits from our demolished garage and preparing them for future use. Alfonso investigated and then explained our options for this job as well as a possible future upgrade to our main panel and installing an EV charging system. We agreed on a date and he arrived early and worked without a hitch through to completion. The hardest part was the location, in a very tight, awkward space. He had to crawl in and out several times, but always with a smile on his face. His work was neat and clean, and it actually took him less time than anticipated. Alfonso is a good communicator and possesses a fine sense of humor. I strongly recommend him to any homeowners or businesses looking for a knowledgeable, dependable, and skilled electrician. "

    " Yep, Indaspec is a five start company. They were responsive and professional. The system we got has boosted our 2003 system and cost 1/5th the price. It will pay itself off in 3 years, possibly less. They were efficient in the installation - took about 1.2 days. The connection between our system and the app on our phones is super easy and now my husband and I have been high- fiving each other once we find out how much the new system is producing. Get the solar, Guys! This company is a gem! The office manager is a sweetheart and the bidding process was easy. The installer was a man of few words for me (I didn't really know anything about the tech part), but took time to speak to my curious and informed contractor husband. He was patient and explained everything so that my husband felt satisfied that he was doing right by our beloved and somewhat coddled home. "

There are numerous reasons you may need the services of a skilled electrician. If you've built an addition, need upgrade outlets to include USB ports, or are looking to upgrade your electrical panel, you should get quotes from several experts to ensure the job is done safely, correctly, and for a good price. On the other hand, if you're seeing problems like flickering lights and circuits tripping frequently or you have no power to something critical like an appliance, you should find an electrician near you who can quickly get started on repairs.

In addition to being able to respond quickly in many cases, electricians familiar with the homes in your neighborhood may be able to offer advice to avoid future issues. For example, they may know that homes in your area were built at a time when households drew less power so you should upgrade your circuit breaker panel. Or they may recommend whole house surge protectors if surges are common in your area.

No matter the reason you need an electrician, here are some questions to ask before you hire.

  • Do you have a license?
  • Are you bonded and/or insured?
  • Do you offer a warranty?
  • How much will I pay for the project(s)?
  • Will you be doing the work or someone else?
  • Will you pull all necessary permits?

When comparing contractors, be sure to ask about their specialties, especially if you need help with a larger project like installing power in an addition or a commercial building or upgrading old knob and tube wiring.
