Custom Electrical Design – Additional Lighting & Outlets
Our custom electrical design gives you freedom in your home or business; the freedom to have your desired furniture arrangement and not be limited by where a switch or outlet is and where the cable and data locations are. Are you frustrated with your outdated kitchen lighting design or wish you could see better in your bathrooms? Would you like an extra outlet in your living room or an extra cable outlet on a different office wall? Do you have high end electronics that need to be protected from lightning and surges? Would you like to see your landscaping at night? If you live in the Fontana area, Howell Electric has the solution for you! Recess can lights are a great way to add light to any room. We can add outlets without having to patch holes into your walls, and yes we can install cable and data outlets to give you more freedom with where you place your television or computer. Whole house lightning and surge protectors that attach to your electrical panel are the best way to protect your large screen televisions and computer network system. And landscape lighting is a great, cost effective way to illuminate your outdoor living space.
Fixture and Ceiling Fan Installation
Although seemingly simple, ceiling fan installations are best left to professionals and not inexperienced home owners or well intentioned handymen that just don’t have the electrical knowledge needed to install a ceiling fan safely. One of the best indicators of an incorrect fan installation is if the fan wobbles. Ceiling fans do this when mounted to a weak light fixture box. As you can imagine the movement of the fan is eventually going to wear out the screw holes and the fan will fall down. Howell Electric installs ceiling fans in a safe, code approved manner. We do not take short cuts. If we find a location with a plastic or unsafe box, we change this box out with a fan rated box. If the wiring needs to be changed, updated, or repaired, it will be done according to code. Also if you have a room that doesn’t have any kind of fixture in the ceiling or a means to install one, we can add it along with a switch wherever you would like. Howell Electric is an expert at custom design; cutting in new locations into your ceilings or walls for devices such as switches and receptacles and ceiling mounted fixtures. If you are wondering if your fan is mounted to a fan rated electrical box, Howell Electric will gladly inspect it for you.

Emergency Electrician
When your whole house or business is without power, call Howell Electric immediately. We know no one wants to be without power even for a minute and even though there may be no danger, the problem usually lies in your electrical panel. Howell Electric will determine what the problem is. If the problem is in your home or business, we will fix it and if it is the utility company’s responsibility, we will only charge you the troubleshooting fee. When half of your house of business is not working, this usually means one of the two legs of power has failed, either on your side or the utility side. If you notice that some lights or appliances work and some don’t, you see some flickering of lights or you hear some buzzing from appliances, turn everything off and call Howell Electric. We will determine what the problem is and make any necessary repairs utilizing our fully stocked trucks. If by chance, we don’t have the part, it is after hours and the supply house is closed, we will make the situation safe until the supply house re-opens! Even if it is found that the problem is on the utility company’s side, we will contact them and they will come at no charge to make the repairs.

Remodeling & Additions
Remodeling and additions allow you to alter your current home or business to meet the changing needs of your family or staff.
