Napa Electric

I have infrequently been treated with the respect and knowledgeable serviceI received and most highly recommend checking in with Napa Electric for any electrical need you might have. Here's why. A week or so ago I finally decided to replace a blown bulb in an older vanity fixture. I found that the bulb was not a screw in but had two prongs and was very small. My first thought was to take it to Napa Electric here in Napa. M first visit was on a Friday. I was welcomed by a very friendly lady. She examined the bulb and told me it was a halogen and was unmarked as to wattage and she was hesitant to replace it not knowing same. She then suggested I check the other three bulbs in the fixture to see if one was marked. Away I go to check bulbs.After checking bulbs and removing the fixture from the wall to hopefully findsome info, I found none.On Monday then I took the bad news of no info back to Napa Electric. I then said that possibly replacing all the bulbs with LED's might be good as the halogens burned very hot. I then received a lesson in lumens. Having no knowledge of lumens, I had to ask the lumen output of incandescent bulbs to get a handle on what LED would work for me. (By the way, a 100 watt incandescent puts out 1500 lumens!)We decided on the lumens that might be appropriate and she was able to find four LED's that had what looked like the same prongs as my original halogen. I asked if I might bring these bulbs back if my wife did not like the output.SURPRISE! She said yes which I found unusual as most electrical products in my experience could not be returned.At home again I tried one of the bulbs and, alas, my wife said it was too bright. Even though the bulb lit it failed to click firmly into the receptacle.So here I am on day two no closer to having four working bulbs for my fixture. What to do? Aha, I realized that the single fixture in the shower room was of the same design as the one over the sinks and provided similarlight(lumens). I took it out and it was marked 40 watts.OK. Back to Napa Electric on Tuesday. I was sure that this nice lady had seen enough of me and would have understood if she had chased me out the door with an umbrella. But as before she was intent on helping me as she had before.I told her that the LED's I had bought on trial were too bright and did not click in securely. She looked at my shower room bulb but was unable to verify the 40 watt marking I had seen but took my word for it and was able to provide two 50 watt halogen bulbs and refund me for the LED's and my problem was resolved.Sound like a nightmare? To me it could have been without the friendly knowledgeable diligence of this lady behind the desk at Napa Electric.Mitch W.

Napa Electric has done amazing work for me! They are super responsive and one of the best electricians in the area! They are pricey but to me, so worth it! I know when they are working on my home they will make sure to install everything correctly and work clean and safe. I could go with a smaller electricican but I'm not always sure my work will be 100% done the right way. I do have that peace of mind with Napa Electric!Services: Ground wire installation
