CURRENT TRENDS
LED LIGHTING

LED lighting is different from other lighting sources such as incandescent bulbs and CFLs. Key differences include:
Better Light Source: LEDs are the size of a fleck of pepper and a mix of red, green, and blue LEDs are typically used to make white light.
Direction: LEDs emit light in a specific direction, reducing the need for reflectors and diffusers that can trap light. This feature makes them more efficient for uses such as recessed down-lights and task lighting.
Heat: LEDs emit very little heat. In comparison, incandescent bulbs release 90% of their energy as heat while CFLs release 80% of their energy as heat.
LED lighting is currently available in a wide variety of home and industrial products. CONTACT US to find out how you can use LEDs to make your home more energy efficient and cost effective.
SOLAR POWER

Whether you’re a homeowner or business, the cost of electricity can make up a large portion of your monthly expenses. With the installation of a solar panel system, you can eliminate or greatly reduce that monthly bill. The average solar set up has a lifespan of 25+ years while paying itself off in only seven to eight.
In addition to reducing monthly expenditures, solar is sustainable and an excellent way to reduce your carbon footprint and energy dependence. A typical residential solar panel system can eliminate three to four tons of carbon emissions each year—the equivalent of planting over 100 trees annually.
Whether your reasons are economic, environmental, or personal, North County Electric can help you “get off the grid.”
GENERATORS

A standby generator connects directly to your home’s electrical panel, and when I disruption occurs in electrical service, an automatic transfer switch disconnects you from your utility. Once your home or business is safely off the grid, the switch starts up the generator and begins transferring its power to your electrical panel. Standby generators are fueled by natural gas, liquid propane, or diesel.
When municipal power resumes, the switch shuts down the generator and reconnects you to the grid. The transfer switch acts as a safety mechanism too: It prevents back-feeding electricity to the grid, a potentially lethal practice that can start fires and harm utility workers attempting to restore your neighborhood’s power.
This seamless operation makes standby generators ideal for families with small children, home businesses, as well as those businesses needing uninterrupted energy to power equipment. Call us to discuss whether a standby generator is right for you.
COMMON FAQ'S
WHY DOES MY CIRCUIT BREAKER KEEP TRIPPING?
- There could be too many electrical items plugged into the circuit; circuits are designed to only handle so much electric demand.
- There could be a short in the wiring.
- The breaker or fuse could be faulty.
It is always recommended to have a certified electrician evaluate the problem to ensure there are no safety issues. Your electrician can also talk with you about adding more circuits to your home so that your electrical system can support all your needs.
HOW DO I RESET A TRIPPED BREAKER?
- Locate your circuit breaker panel– usually found in the basement, garage, or closet.
- Locate the tripped breaker. A tripped breaker is indicated by a breaker that is switched to the “off” position (not aligned with all the other breakers) and usually displays a red or orange color.
- Reset the breaker by flipping it to the “off” position. Then, switch the breaker to the “on” position (you should hear a clicking or snapping noise when it is properly in place).
If this does not solve the problem, call a certified electrician to troubleshoot the issue.
WHAT IS A GFCI OUTLET?
SHOULD I WORRY ABOUT OUTLETS THAT DON'T WORK?
- Plug a lamp into a working outlet and unplug it with the switch still on.
- Then plug it into the outlet that isn’t working.
- Look for wall switches in the room (there may be more than one). Try turning each wall switch on. You may find the answer to your problem!
- If there are no wall switches, try all the other outlets in the room, and if there’s no tripped circuit in your breaker box, you may need to have an electrician check to see if there’s a short somewhere in the system.
WHAT IS A "SHORT" OR "SHORT CIRCUIT"?
If you think there is a short in your electrical wiring, call and electrician.
SHOULD I DO MY OWN ELECTRICAL WORK?
