Frequently Asked Questions:
 




























 

 
What can I do about my high electrical bills?  Many things can be done by an electrical contractor to make your system function in the most efficient manner. Your electrical system should be reviewed with the advent of any higher than normal bill.   This can help determine if the problem is one of something malfunctioning or if energy conservation measures are called for. Seasonal (Summer) increases are due more to increased reliance on A/C and pool pump usage in this area. Even that can be mitigated.  Contact me for details.
My power supplier is PG&E can I see my electrical usage? If you have a new "Smart" meter you can start to download and monitor your power usage.  By downloading and charting your power consumption you'll get some idea where the power is going. With that information you can start to modify the operations of your home or business and get direct feedback on how much electricity you're saving.   One good spot to look at is during the time you're normally asleep.  This is the power that is being consumed partially by "Vampire" electrical loads. 
I've logged on to PG&E, I see my pool pump is really costing me money, what can I do about the cost of operating my pool pump? You're in luck, with the new variable frequency drive pump motors, I can show you how to reduce that pool pump load by up to 90% depending on the age and condition of your present pool pump.  I can come out and measure the power (wattage) that your present pump is using and show you how, by changing to a more efficient pump save a lot of money.
I don't know what it's costing me, but can motion sensors save money on lights that burn without anyone in the room.  I've used them at work, but haven't any at home?
Business owners have been reducing the cost of operation for years.  Residential customers haven't got very motivated about their electrical bills.  Now with the present situation everyone is trying to save money.  Motion or occupancy sensors are a great way to save on lighting costs, you'll be able to save electricity and won't have to scold your children or employee's to turn off the lights.
What type of recessed lighting do you recommend?
I only recommend the installation of title 24 listed fluorescent lighting which is energy efficient. These fixtures are up to 7 times more efficient than incandescent lighting where the bulb hasn't changed much since originally invented by "Edison".  Call so I can set up an appointment to go over your needs.
What is "Peak load" and why should I avoid using electricity during this period?
Your utility supplier only can produce so much electricity, which is transmitted to you over the "Grid".  During periods of load which most of the time coincides with high heat this electrical "Grid" has more load than is normally carried.  At some point this amount of consumption can exceed that quantity of electrical energy available, when that happens extra power has to be purchased at higher than normal contracts which raise the amount the utility has to spend.  This amount of extra cost gets passed back to us, the consumers.  By avoiding peak periods which are normally between the hours of 6:00 AM and 7:00 PM we can save on electrical costs.
