Q. Why am I getting shocked in the shower and from other water pipes? A. Voltage on pipes is often a result of wiring running close to a plumbing pipe. If your electrical system is not properly grounded, shocks can occur. It can be frightening to stand in the shower and touch the faucet and get a shock. Occasionally we even get calls from the Gas Company about the voltage on the gas lines. If you are getting shocks, give us a call. We will be happy to diagnose and solve your problem. (805) 934-7091

Q: Can I add storage batteries to my existing solar panel system? The answer is yes! The problem with Solar Panels alone is that when the Power Company turns off the grid in your area you have nothing, even if the sun is shining. The grid is required for your existing system to produce power. Adding storage batteries to your existing system is not a problem. Give Ever-Ready Electric a call and we will explain how the new system works and how you can be assured that you will always have electricity. (805) 934-7091

Q: How would you like to cut your electric bill? A: A very interesting and effective system is to not only have a backup generator and solar and a storage system but to combine them and control them with one device. The generator assures you will always have power. The storage system allows you to use your stored electricity during peak PG&E times and then recharge your storage system via solar panels during non-peak times. The solar panels also provide power when the sun shines. It doesn’t get any better than this. Call Ever-Ready Electric. (805) 934-7091

Q: Who should do your electrical work? A: I have done an Ask A Pro several times about Who Should Do Your Electrical Work. Over the years, appliance companies have been doing the electrical work to make the final connections to the appliances they have sold. All too often it’s just not that simple and the delivery guys don’t have the expertise. We get calls because customers are insecure about what was done. If someone messes up the plumbing, you might have a flood. If the electrical is messed up someone could die. Is saving a few bucks worth the risk?

Q: What can I do to make my Christmas lights safe? A: Extension cords are always dangerous and often the source of fires especially if they get wet. Please don’t use them. Never leave any indoor or outdoor Christmas lights on when leaving your home and shut them off when you go to bed. You could also install some dedicated waterproof receptacles for your outdoor lighting and install a switch and/or timer to control these new receptacles. Call Ever-Ready Electric for any electrical safety concerns you may encounter with your Christmas lighting and enjoy a safe & happy holiday.

Q: Do circuit breakers always protect my wiring from overheating? A: Not necessarily, breakers sometimes take several seconds to trip, even with a direct short circuit. (Zinsco (Sylvania) & Federal Pacific breakers sometimes don’t ever trip. These breakers are major fire hazards.) Unfortunately, even correctly sized circuit breakers are affected by temperature, their age and the length of the circuit. Breakers are installed and then forgotten, thus the mechanical linkage inside breakers gets stuck. Breakers (excluding old main breakers) need to be operated at least once a year. Call Ever-Ready Electric for an evaluation of your complete electrical system.

Q: Why is it a good idea to permit my electrical projects? A: City and County building codes require permits for almost everything done electrically. If what you are doing is being done by a Professional, it most likely will be done correctly and definitely should be permitted. Having the work inspected gives you some assurance that it was done correctly. When you go to sell your property, realtors and home inspectors could very well ask to see proof that the work was permitted. If you get caught, after the fact, it could cost you penalties and double fees. Why gamble!
