From my initial call to the end of the job, everyone was friendly, intelligent, & willing to explain stuff. Prices were the best from any electrician I've used in past. MY PRIOR ELECTRICIAN WAS GOING TO CHARGE ME MUCH MORE THAN THIS ONE. Robert & Julio were such fast and intelligent technicians that I ended up adding more work to the originally requested, minimal work! All done in one day! -- Stephanie Osbourne

Choosing the Right Santa Monica Electrician for You
When you need something taken care of around your house or business, you want to hire somebody who is going to get the job done right. You need to be able to trust the person you hire to come into your home or business and essentially invade your private space. It is important you find the right company that will make you feel as if you are in good hands and your business is valuable. When you are hiring somebody to do technical work, like a Santa Monica electrician, it is even more important. Electrical work can be dangerous when left to somebody who doesn’t have the knowledge necessary to complete a job that meets safety regulations. Fortunately, you can count on the team at H Electric to meet each of the following traits.
*Reliable—You need to be confident an electrician will show up for an appointment. Electricity is pretty important and you cannot afford to put off electrical problems until somebody decides to show up.
*Licensed and Bonded-It is too dangerous to allow an unlicensed contractor into your home. You need that extra layer of comfort knowing the person working in your home has met the standards set forth by your local government. It means they have passed a knowledge test and are capable of taking care of your job. A bond is a layer of insurance for you and the contractor should anything happen to the electrician. Santa Monica homeowners whose homes are damaged or the contractor is injured will be covered by the bond.
*Professional-You want an electrician who is professional in appearance as well as demeanor. This is especially important for business owners who want to maintain a positive image. Electricians who are in uniform make them easy to identify and help achieve a professional image overall.
If you are in need of a Santa Monica electrician who meets all these requirements, give H Electric a call today.
5 Ways to Beat the Heat by Electrician in Santa Monica
It is hot outside! If you are sweltering in your own home, you need to read these tips to learn how to stay cool without running your electric bill up. Right now, everybody is doing what they can to keep their homes cool and many are lowering their thermostats hoping to beat the heat. That creates a massive demand on the power grid and could ultimately cause a blackout. The power grid is not always prepared to keep up with the demands of the city. You can do your part by using these tips provided by your electrician in Santa Monica. If you need more information, give H Electric a call.
1-Close your windows and doors. Opening the windows to allow “fresh air” in is ineffective at cooling your house when the outside air is significantly higher than the air inside your home. Open your windows at night and first thing in the morning, but close them around 10 when it starts to heat up.
2-Close the blinds and curtains. Use heavy curtains to effectively block the sun. This is especially important for those south facing windows. One handy trick that can help on the hottest days is to use an auto sun visor with the reflective backing on it placed in a window.
3-Get that ceiling fan going on high. You can set your thermostat 4 degrees higher and still feel as comfortable as you would with it lower when you have a nice breeze blowing on you. If you normally keep your thermostat at 76, turn it up to 80 to save on your Santa Monica electrical bill.
4-Don’t use the oven if at all possible. If you need to cook, do it on the BBQ or the stovetop.
5-Do not run the clothes dryer during the day. Run it first thing in the morning or late at night. Or, dry your clothes outside.

3 Tips for Power Outages by Santa Monica Electrician
Have you experienced one of Mother Nature’s wild storms yet this summer? It can be exciting to watch lightning streak across the sky or listen to the rain pound down on the roof. However, sometimes, the weather proves to be a little too much for our power grids and we are left in the dark in the aftermath of a particularly violent storm. There are also plenty of accidents that can leave us without power for several hours while linemen work on restoring the power. What do you do in the meantime? A Santa Monica electrician has some tips to help you ride out a power outage with losing money to wasted food and damaged electronics. You can call H Electric to learn more.
1-The moment the power goes out, start unplugging your flat screen televisions, your gaming systems, computers and other appliances that have sensitive electrical components. When the power comes back on, it will surge into the house because of all the items that are plugged in demanding the electricity. This creates a spike that can damage some electronics. If you want to avoid these damaging power surges, consider having a whole-home surge protector installed by an electrician. Santa Monica residents can protect their electronics from surges that occur on a daily basis.
2-Let everybody in the house know the refrigerator and freezer need to be left closed for the time being. Opening the doors will allow the cool air to escape and your food will spoil. You can expect your refrigerator to keep your food cool for 4 hours and your freezer for 24 hours if the doors remain shut.
3-Report the outage to your electric company. Typically a hot line is set up that will provide you with information about how long the outage is expected to last.
