Circuit breakers can last 30 to 40 years. However, if you are experiencing frequent issues with your breakers, it may be a sign that they need to be replaced sooner.

An overload is caused by too much power draw, which trips a breaker. If this becomes frequent, additional circuits can be added to your home to separate high-energy appliances and prevent overloads.

A short circuit occurs when aging wires become loose or worn, causing a hot wire to touch a neutral wire and disrupt the current’s path. If the appliance’s cord isn’t damaged, it is a sign that the cables behind the wall need maintenance.

A whole-house generator in Santa Barbara ensures that your home remains powered during outages caused by natural events like storms or earthquakes. It provides a higher wattage capacity to support all essential appliances and systems, offering seamless and automatic backup power. This means that when a power outage occurs, the generator detects the interruption and activates within seconds, restoring electricity to the entire house without manual intervention, which is particularly beneficial in areas prone to power disruptions.

Yes, {fran_brand_name provides comprehensive generator services for both portable and whole-house generators in Montecito, Goleta, and the surrounding Santa Barbara areas. Their experienced team can guide you through the selection process, manage the installation, and ensure that your generator is properly connected to your home's electrical system, including securing necessary permits and setting up an automatic transfer switch if required for whole-house generators.

Choosing between a portable generator and a whole-house generator for your Santa Barbara home depends on your specific needs and budget. If you require backup power for your entire home and want an automatic response to power outages, a whole-house generator is ideal. However, if you only need to power a few devices and prefer a more budget-friendly option, a portable generator might be sufficient. Laughlin Electric can provide personalized advice to help you make the best decision for your situation.

    Everyone at Laughlin Electric went above and beyond the call of duty. I had an emergency electrical situation and they were there immediately and stayed until absolutely everything was completed., even an expedited permit from the city. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

    We recently had Bob’s team install some LED lights at my office. There must have been over 40 lights that required an update. Team Laughlin did an amazing job with the install. The whole office was happy with the work. Thank you!

    If you are like me, you place a very high value on great service. Like me, you might also feel customer service levels from all types of businesses have plummeted since the pandemic. Not so with Laughlin Electric who from first contact to job completion exhibited the highest levels of service, communication, expertise and professionalism. Dan and Cody came to my house to take on a few projects, including hanging my flat screen on the wall. This included disappearing all related wiring. I had no idea how this could be done, but the highly skilled duo quickly conceived of a plan and got to work. Nearing completion, a vexing internet connectivity problem arose. It seemed insurmountable, and I thought the fiber company would have to come the next day to repair. But with resourcefulness, resolve and genius troubling shooting the team got everything to work perfectly. The entire experience reassured me that there are still great companies with great employees who really take care of their customers. I couldn't be happier.

    Gabby customer service girl was fanstic on the phone and was able to get a electrican within less than two hours. Lucas was able to localize the issue. He also consulted with the Bob the owner who also assisted to identify a major electrical problem and remained to provide additional contacts since the problem appeared to be generated from the source. I will be contacting PGE within a day to arrange repairs.

    Laughlin Electric was great. Easy to book an appointment. They sent a reminder of that appointment and info on who was coming. Cody was the best. Arrived when expected. Listened to what I needed sorted out and gave me options on how to go about it. He then quoted me a price and did the work. Basically did everything I would want and expect. They will be my first call for electrical work.

    I recently had Laughlin work on my new house. Well, new to me… it’s a hundred years old. Cody and Dan spent a week replacing knob-and-tube wiring, modernizing all the outlets, replacing and adding light fixtures, expanding the breaker box, and making sure the system is safe and up to date. Cody even managed to get the original doorbell functioning. A great job and great guys, and I’m really happy with how well it went. Thanks!
