Consumer Electric, Inc. was founded in 1985 by Forrest White with a passion for serving the Central Coast's electrical needs. Based in Monterey and serving Aptos, the company has built its reputation over decades by completing over 105,000 service calls for more than 13,000 customer locations. The driving philosophy is a commitment to excellent service for every job, whether large or small, for residential, commercial, and industrial clients. A focus on operational efficiency led to the early development of automated systems that streamline everything from the initial service call to final invoicing.

Questions and Answers

My circuit breaker keeps tripping in my Aptos home. Is this a common issue, and what should I do?

Yes, frequent breaker trips are a common call for us in Aptos and can indicate several issues, from an overloaded circuit to deeper wiring problems. It's important not to ignore this, as it's a safety feature warning of potential hazards. Our technicians can perform a thorough electrical inspection to diagnose the root cause, whether it's outdated wiring, a faulty appliance, or damage from local soil shifts affecting underground cables. We'll provide a clear explanation and a fair repair plan to restore safe, reliable power to your home.

I'm considering adding a backup generator for my Aptos property. What does your installation process involve?

Generator installation is a key service we provide for Aptos residents seeking reliability, especially during power outages. Our process starts with a consultation to assess your home's power needs and the best location for the unit. Our licensed technicians handle all aspects: from securing permits and preparing the site to installing a proper transfer switch and connecting the generator to your electrical panel with all necessary safety protocols. We ensure the installation meets all local codes and provide clear instructions on operation and maintenance.

What should I do if I suspect damage to the underground electrical cable serving my Aptos home?

If you suspect underground cable damage—often signaled by intermittent power, flickering lights, or tripped breakers—it's a situation we handle specifically for Aptos homeowners. The region's soil composition and shifts can stress these lines. Contact us for immediate troubleshooting. Our technicians use specialized diagnostic tools to locate the issue without unnecessary excavation. We then perform a precise repair or replacement of the damaged section, ensuring the new cable is properly protected and your service is restored safely and efficiently.
