Surge protection isn’t just limited to the power strips you purchase for your appliances and electronics. You can get whole house surge protection to protect your entire electrical system from harmful power surges. To learn more about how you can protect yourself from surges, contact the experts at A&D Herrera’s Electric.
WHOLE HOUSE SURGE PROTECTION
WHY DO POWER SURGES OCCUR?
Power surges happen when your home’s wiring and electrical system experience a sudden spike in voltage. While they are often caused by lightning strikes near your home or power line, there are several other common triggers. Overloaded circuits or outlets, for example, can lead to power surges, especially if you overcrowd wiring or plug too many appliances into a single socket. Turning major appliances like air conditioners, washers, or refrigerators on and off can also cause brief surges. Additionally, exposed, old, or damaged wiring can result in power surges due to reduced electrical resistance, causing dangerous spikes in current.
BENEFITS OF WHOLE HOUSE SURGE PROTECTION
A whole house surge protection system eliminates the need for individual power strips for your appliances. By having a professional install whole home surge protection, you can safeguard your electronics and electrical system from sudden voltage spikes. Whether it’s lightning or an overloaded circuit, a whole house surge protection system provides peace of mind and keeps your home’s electrical system secure.
If you have questions about whole house surge protection, contact the experts at A&D Herrera’s Electric. Our licensed, bonded, and insured electricians have the training and expertise to provide you with the high-quality service you deserve. Call us today!
LED LIGHTING
CONSIDER REPLACING OLD LIGHTS WITH LEDS!
Upgrading your old incandescent lights to LED lighting can make a significant difference in both performance and savings. LEDs offer a modern, energy-efficient solution that’s better for your home and your wallet. If you’re curious about how LED lighting can improve your space, contact the experts at A&D Herrera’s Electric. Our team of licensed and qualified technicians is ready to assist you.
BENEFITS OF LED LIGHTING
LED lighting offers numerous advantages over traditional lighting options:
-
Savings
While LED lights may have a higher upfront cost, they deliver long-term savings. According to the Department of Energy, LEDs use at least 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs, significantly reducing energy bills.
-
Longevity
LEDs last far longer than incandescent bulbs, making them both cost-effective and durable. They can last up to 25 times longer, meaning fewer replacements and less hassle.
-
Safety
Unlike incandescent bulbs that emit heat, LEDs remain cool to the touch, making them safer to use. This feature reduces the risk of burns and potential fire hazards.
-
Versatility
LEDs come in a variety of forms, including recessed lights, commercial and industrial lighting, and even holiday lights. LED holiday lights, for instance, are made with durable epoxy lenses instead of glass and can last up to 40 seasons!
-
Instant Brightness
Unlike CFLs, which take time to warm up, LED lights provide instant, bright illumination the moment you switch them on.
-
Affordability
While once more expensive, LED lighting has become increasingly affordable as prices continue to decrease every year.
OUTDOOR LIGHTING
IMPROVE YOUR LANDSCAPE WITH OUTDOOR LIGHTING
Landscape and outdoor lighting not only enhance the beauty of your home but also improve safety and security. Well-designed lighting can elevate curb appeal while making your property more functional and secure after dark. Whether you’re considering installing new landscape lighting or need repairs, the experts at A&D Herrera’s Electric are here to help.
TYPES OF OUTDOOR LIGHTING
Outdoor lighting comes in many forms, each offering unique benefits to suit your needs. Here are some of the most common types:
-
Security Lighting
Security lighting brightens darker corners and increases awareness of movement around your home with motion sensors. These lights improve safety by reducing the risk of falls and make it easier to navigate at night. Security lights often feature timers and sensors and typically use floodlights or spotlights for optimal illumination.
-
Spotlights
Spotlights are versatile, serving both security and aesthetic purposes. They’re perfect for highlighting details in your yard, such as a tree, fountain, or sculpture. To create stunning effects, place spotlights at the base of structures or trees, or use them behind key features for a striking silhouette.
If you’re ready to transform your landscape with outdoor lighting, contact the professionals at A&D Herrera’s Electric. Our licensed and skilled team specializes in outdoor electrical installations and repairs, ensuring you get high-quality, reliable service. Call us today to discuss your project!

TAKE CARE OF YOUR POOL AND SPA WITH A&D HERRERA’S ELECTRIC
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT POOL LIGHTING
If you’re considering adding new lighting to your pool or replacing outdated ones, the skilled technicians at A&D Herrera’s Electric have some helpful tips to guide you:
-
Consider the Size of Your Pool
Before purchasing lighting, assess the size of your pool. Too much light can be overwhelming, while too little leaves it poorly lit. Larger pools require more lighting for balanced illumination.
-
Experiment with Different Colors
While white lighting is a classic choice, you can create a unique ambiance with colored lights. Colors like green or purple can add a new dimension to your yard and pool, enhancing its atmosphere.
-
Think About Lighting Controls
Decide whether you want timers, dimmers, or remote controls for your pool lights. Consider features like changing colors or automated schedules to match your preferences.
-
Choose the Right Bulbs
Options include incandescent, halogen, and LED lights. We highly recommend LED lighting for pools because it’s safer, more durable, and energy-efficient.
For more advice on pool lighting installation or any other pool and spa electrical needs, contact the professionals at A&D Herrera’s Electric. Our team has the training, certification, and expertise to handle all your electrical concerns. Call us today!
SMOKE & CARBON DETECTORS
EXPERT SMOKE AND CARBON DETECTOR INSTALLATION AND REPAIR
Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are essential for your home, as they can mean the difference between life and death. For your safety and peace of mind, call A&D Herrera's Electric today to schedule detector installation, repair, or replacement services. Our trained and certified technicians will ensure your detectors are in perfect working condition quickly and efficiently.
SMOKE AND CARBON DETECTORS ARE VITAL TO YOUR SAFETY
SMOKE DETECTORS
Smoke detectors protect you and your family from the dangers of fire, many of which occur while everyone is sleeping. These devices often serve as the only warning in case of a fire, making them critical for your safety. It’s important to test your smoke detectors monthly and replace them every 10 years. Additionally, all smoke alarms should be interconnected so that when one sounds, all others are activated, ensuring maximum coverage in your home.
CARBON DETECTORS
Carbon monoxide detectors are just as important as smoke detectors. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous, odorless gas that can go undetected without proper monitoring. At A&D Herrera's Electric, we recommend installing carbon monoxide detectors throughout your home in addition to smoke detectors. These devices emit a loud alarm audible throughout your home, providing an early warning of toxic gas leaks. Carbon detectors can also alert you to potential issues with appliances such as stoves, gas dryers, or fireplaces that might be releasing harmful gases. Like smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors should be installed in every room to ensure comprehensive protection.
If you have any questions about installing, repairing, or replacing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, reach out to the experts at A&D Herrera's Electric. Your safety is our top priority, and we are committed to ensuring that your detectors are installed and maintained to the highest standards. Contact us today to keep your home and family safe!
COMMON ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT NEED TROUBLESHOOTING
COMMON ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
Most electrical problems in your home are common issues that can often be resolved with a quick visit from a skilled electrician. Here are a few of the most frequent electrical problems and their potential causes:
Flickering Lights
Flickering lights can happen for a variety of reasons. In the best-case scenario, the bulb may simply be loose, or the switch may be outdated. However, if lights flicker when major appliances are turned on, you could be dealing with faulty wiring that requires professional attention.
Repeatedly Tripping Circuit Breakers
A circuit breaker that occasionally trips can usually be reset without issue. However, if it trips repeatedly, this could signal an overloaded circuit, an outdated electrical system, or even a short circuit. These issues need to be addressed by a professional to ensure safety.
No GFCIs
Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) are a critical safety feature in homes, reducing the risk of electrocution in areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Many homeowners overlook installing GFCIs, which can lead to dangerous situations. If you’ve experienced electrical shocks, even minor ones, it’s essential to have GFCIs installed by an experienced electrician.
If you’re noticing these or other electrical issues in your home, contact the professionals at A&D Herrera's Electric. Our licensed and trained technicians have the expertise, knowledge, and certifications needed to provide you with top-quality service. Let us ensure your home’s electrical system is safe and functioning properly—give us a call today!
Electrical Panels, Breakers & Fuses
IS YOUR ELECTRICAL PANEL SHOWING SIGNS OF TROUBLE?
Does your breaker keep tripping no matter how many times you reset it? Are your lights dimming frequently? Have you noticed corrosion on your electrical panel or experienced a blown fuse due to an overload? There’s no need to worry—the experts at A&D Herrera's Electric are here to help!
DEALING WITH A TRIPPED BREAKER?
CALL A&D HERRERA'S ELECTRIC!
Signs You Should Replace Your Electrical Panel
Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s electrical system. It’s where power from the national grid enters your home and is distributed throughout. A faulty or outdated panel can lead to serious issues like blackouts, damaged appliances, or even electrical fires. Knowing the signs of a failing electrical panel can help you address problems before they escalate.
-
Circuit Breakers Keep Tripping
If your circuit breaker trips repeatedly, it’s a clear sign your electrical panel may be overloaded or wearing out. Constantly resetting your breaker is not normal and should be addressed by a professional.
-
Odor or Discoloration on the Panel
Burnt odors or scorch marks on your electrical panel are serious red flags. These can indicate potential electrical fires if left unaddressed.
-
Lights Flickering or Dimming
Frequent flickering or dimming lights, particularly when turning on major appliances, often point to an outdated electrical panel that needs upgrading.
-
Age
Electrical panels typically last between 25 and 40 years. If yours is approaching or has surpassed this lifespan, it’s time for an inspection to determine if replacement is necessary.
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, don’t wait—contact A&D Herrera's Electric today. Our licensed and trained electricians can inspect, repair, or replace your electrical panel, ensuring your home’s electrical system is safe and up to date. Call us now to schedule a consultation!

YOUR SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY
AT A&D HERRERA'S ELECTRIC
At A&D Herrera's Electric, we take home electrical safety seriously. If you notice signs of electrical danger—such as hot outlets, scorched panels, or exposed wires—don’t ignore them. Addressing these issues promptly can help prevent serious hazards like electrocution, electrical shocks, or even fires.
HOW TO PRACTICE ELECTRICAL HOME SAFETY
There are several proactive steps you can take to ensure you and your family stay safe from electrical hazards.
Home Safety Check
Create an electrical safety checklist or schedule a professional inspection. Regularly checking your home for electrical issues can help you identify and address problems before they become dangerous.
Code Violation Corrections
Your home might unknowingly have electrical code violations. Common issues include missing or faulty ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs), outdated wiring paired with new lighting, overcrowded wires, or missing tamper-resistant receptacles. A professional electrician can inspect your home, identify these violations, and ensure they’re corrected for maximum safety.
Childproofing Your Home
For homes with young children, childproofing is essential to prevent accidents. Install tamper-resistant receptacles, use outlet covers, power strip covers, and cord shorteners to secure cables. For older children, teaching them safe electricity practices is just as important.

Always rely on a licensed electrician to handle ceiling fan installations or repairs.

Whole-House Fans
Whole-house fans provide a natural, energy-efficient alternative to air conditioning. They cool your home by circulating fresh air, helping you save on energy bills while keeping your living spaces comfortable.
Exhaust Fans
Exhaust fans are essential for proper ventilation in areas like kitchens and bathrooms, where odors and humidity tend to linger. They improve indoor air quality and help reduce moisture that can lead to mold and mildew.

DOORBELLS AND RING EQUIPMENT
EXPERT DOORBELL INSTALLATION AND REPAIR
Need your doorbell repaired or a new one installed? You don’t have to handle it alone—trust the experts at A&D Herrera's Electric to help. Our skilled technicians are equipped to troubleshoot, repair, or install doorbells with precision and care, ensuring your home stays connected and functional.
WHY ISN’T MY DOORBELL WORKING?
A non-functioning doorbell might seem like a small issue, but it can be an inconvenience. Fortunately, many doorbell problems are easy to diagnose and repair. Here are some common reasons your doorbell might not be working:
The Button is Not Working
Sometimes, the issue is as simple as a stuck button caused by dirt or debris. Try cleaning it with a cloth soaked in rubbing alcohol. If that doesn’t work, listen closely for a low buzzing sound near the button. If you don’t hear a buzz, the button may be broken and need replacement. Unscrew the old button and bring it with you when shopping for a replacement to ensure you get the correct size.
The Problem is in the Chime Unit Inside Your Home
The chime box, which produces the sound of your doorbell, might have wiring issues. Carefully remove the cover and inspect the wires. Use a voltmeter to check for signals in the wiring. If no signals are present, the wiring may be the problem. If the wiring has signals but the chime doesn’t sound, the issue lies within the chime unit, which may need repair or replacement.
Faulty Wiring
Exposed, damaged, or missing insulation on the wires entering the chime box can prevent the doorbell from working. Old or broken wiring is a common culprit that requires professional attention to resolve safely.
The Transformer is Not Working
The transformer, a small metal box that regulates your doorbell’s voltage, could also be the problem. Use a voltmeter to check the voltage reading—if it’s higher than expected, the transformer may need repair or replacement.
If your doorbell isn’t working or you’re ready to upgrade to a new one, contact A&D Herrera's Electric. Our licensed and experienced electricians will ensure your doorbell is functioning properly and reliably. Call us today to schedule your service!
APPLIANCE CIRCUITS
CALL A&D HERRERA'S ELECTRIC FOR NEW APPLIANCE CIRCUITS
Adding a new appliance to your home is exciting, but it can be frustrating if there’s no available outlet or enough power to support it. In these situations, a new circuit might be necessary. Contact A&D Herrera's Electric to install a new circuit and plug, ensuring your appliance runs safely and efficiently.
EXPERT APPLIANCE CIRCUIT INSTALLATION
Should You Install Appliance Circuits On Your Own?
While DIY projects can be rewarding, installing appliance circuits is a complex and potentially hazardous task. Attempting it on your own poses risks of electrical shock, damage to your electrical system, or even electrical fires. While we admire your initiative, appliance circuit installation is best left to a licensed and experienced electrician. A professional has the training, knowledge, and tools to handle the job safely and correctly. Proper installation also reduces the risk of future malfunctions and ensures your home’s electrical system remains safe and efficient.
What Appliances Can You Hook Up to a New Circuit?
Any appliance without access to an appropriate outlet may require a new circuit to function properly. This includes larger appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, and even saunas. A new circuit ensures these devices receive the power they need without overloading your existing electrical system.
If you need a new circuit installed for your appliances, contact A&D Herrera's Electric. Our licensed professionals are ready to provide safe, reliable service tailored to your needs. Call us today to schedule an appointment!
