Services Offered by Our Electricians in Santa Monica

Free Estimates for New Electrical Work
Whether you want to install a single light fixture, an entire electrical panel (circuit breaker box), or even if you are re-wiring your house, our in-house electrician can give you a free estimate over the phone. This goes for installing any new electrical equipment including wiring replacement (either aluminum or cloth-insulated). We can install a whole house surge protector; smoke detectors; electrical cable for TV, phone, and computers; electrical generators, many jobs, simple or complex. With just a few questions, our experienced electrician can give you a basic estimate of the required number of hours it will take to complete the job as well as any necessary accoutrements.

Estimates for Electrical Troubleshooting
Pricing electrical repairs can be complex. If you are dealing with a light switch that isn't working, the repair will likely require the electrician to pull out his tools and troubleshoot the problem. It could be something in the electrical panel, the electrical switch, the light fixture itself, or the wiring within the walls. Over the phone, the electrician won't be able to give you a complete price, but they can give you our hourly charge. Usually in one hour or less, our electrician will either have completed the electrical repair or will be able to give you a firm bid in writing for completion of the electrical work. This holds true for nearly anything in your electrical system that worked once upon a time but now doesn't: a doorbell, dimmer, electrical outlet, ceiling fan, smoke detector, landscape or spa lighting, or what have you.

If you live in the Santa Monica area and are looking for a knowledgeable, considerate and straightforward electrical contractor, we hope you will consider using our company for your electrical work. We've been Santa Monica electricians for over 30 years.

What is Wind Power? – Your Electrician in Santa Monica Tells All

Wind power is electricity-generating technology that is very similar to hydroelectric power and burning fossil fuels. In all three cases, something is being used to spin a turbine, which then converts that energy into electricity. In the case of fossil fuels, the fuel is burned, which converts water to steam, which then spins the turbine. Hydroelectric power generators use the force of flowing or falling water to turn their turbines. Wind turbines are turned by the power of the wind, making them an ideal source of energy for places with high wind, such as the Great Plains. While the idea of wind power conjures up images of fields full of spinning turbines, it is not hard to find an electrician in Santa Monica who can help you to install one on your own land.

Wind Farms

The majority of all wind power is generated on huge wind farms. Each wind farm typically maintains and operates hundreds of wind turbines, which in turn connect to local electrical circuits that eventually funnel them into the main electricity pool. Your local utility company most often runs these energy operations as a secondary source of electricity. In fact, many companies give you the option to guarantee that some or all of the electricity that you use each month comes from their wind farm operations. In the event that you are unable to install your own wind turbine, this is a great way to contribute and further investment into wind power.

Residential Wind Turbines

As the call for more renewable electricity sources has grown more popular, so has the use of residential wind turbines. In conjunction with other small-scale energy sources such as geo-thermal and solar, wind turbines can be a great electrical upgrade to any home. One caveat is that you must have a small amount of land in order for it to be an ideal fit for you. Talk to a local electrician Santa Monica CA, The Electric Connection for example, to determine whether or not one will work for you.

Installing a Residential Wind Turbine

Although a wind turbine generates electricity for your home and community, its installation is not typically completed by a Santa Monica electrician alone. Because of the complexity of the installation, it is best to find a company that specializes in their application. In most cases, this company will complete the erection and initial setup of the turbine, and then turn it over to an electrician Santa Monica, such as The Electric Connection, to complete the tethering to your home and power grid. This ensures that both the turbine installation and the electrical work is done in the safest, most complete manner possible.

In addition to connecting your new turbine to your home, your electrician may also need to perform a panel upgrade, and small amount of home rewiring. While this is typically not extensive, it is slightly more involved than having electrical outlets replaced. For the best outcome, you should always have someone conduct his or her electrical estimates before the work is started so that you know what to expect.

In regards to small-scale renewable energy sources, wind and solar power are by far the most popular, approachable options. Although many see them as unsightly, most believe that the benefits outweigh the costs. After their initial installation, these electrical upgrades require very little maintenance, provide clean consistent energy and rely on a 100% renewable source. If you have any questions about whether or not you should look into wind power, or other alternative energy sources, don’t hesitate to call a Santa Monica Electrician.
