## What Arcata calls us about

Six of the situations that come up most across Humboldt County, and what each one usually turns out to be.

### Not sure what size to buy

We meter and calculate rather than estimate. Most Arcata homes land between 14kW and 26kW depending on AC, well pumps and electric ranges.

Generator installation in Arcata

### No power in the house

We start at the meter and service entrance, then work in: main lugs, main breaker, feeders, then branch circuits. That order finds the real fault fast instead of guessing at outlets.

Emergency electrician in Arcata

### Zinsco or Federal Pacific panel

These breakers have a documented history of failing to trip under fault. Replacement is the only real remedy, and it is one of our most common Arcata jobs.

Panel upgrade in Arcata

### Warm switch or cover plate

Heat means resistance, and resistance means a loose termination. This gets repaired the day we find it, not scheduled for later.

Electrical repair in Arcata

### No GFCI in the kitchen or bath

Wet-location circuits need it. Adding protection at the first device in the run covers everything downstream.

Outlets and switches in Arcata

### Lighting bill is too high

High bay and troffer LED retrofits are the fastest payback in a commercial building, and they usually improve light levels at the same time.

## Why Arcata calls us

### Answered around the clock

A real dispatcher picks up at 3am, not a voicemail box that gets checked on Monday. Electrical faults get worse while they wait.

### Diagnosis before parts

We meter the circuit and find the actual fault. Swapping devices until something works is expensive for you and tells you nothing about why it failed.

### Flat price before work starts

You approve a number, then we work. No hourly meter running while a technician looks for parts, and no after-hours surcharge appearing on the invoice.

### Permits and inspections handled

Panel upgrades, EV circuits and rewires get permitted and inspected. We pull the paperwork and meet the inspector.

## Arcata service area

We cover every neighborhood in Arcata plus the surrounding towns, so a nearby address is never a problem.

## What Arcata customers say

★★★★★

Six recessed lights in the living room and a dimmer that finally doesn't buzz. They laid the whole layout out on the ceiling with tape first, which I appreciated.

Tom R.Lighting installation · Arcata
★★★★★

Bought a 1948 house with cloth wiring. They phased the rewire so we always had power in half the house, and gave us paperwork our insurer accepted.

Sofia M.Rewiring · Arcata
★★★★★

Warehouse high bay retrofit to LED. Did it over a weekend so we never stopped shipping, and the place is twice as bright.
