B&M Electric

B&M Electric Fully licensed and insured residential and commercial electricians, serving the South Bay. Slowly they started getting busier by word of mouth referrals.

B&M Electric was started by a farther & son team, Bill & Mike Bishop, over 30 years ago. They were both electricians for large companies and they would do side jobs together for family and friends. They got to a point that they were busy enough to leave their full time jobs and work for themselves by starting B&M Electric. In 1989 Mike Bishop hired Charles Vargas and was a great teacher & mentor.

14 Years later, in 2003, Mike Bishop retired and Charles Vargas purchased the company. Today it is still our goal to treat all of our clients like family by providing the best customer service and price. We pride ourselves on being the Best at what we do and we look forward to many more years of providing top notch service in the South Bay. "Bright Ideas to Light Up Your Life"

Torrance neighbors, quick question.

Do you guys use power strips for most of your electronics at home, or do you usually plug things directly into the wall?

I’ve noticed that a lot of us have TVs, computers, chargers, lamps, and other stuff all running from the same area.

Just curious how everyone handles it at home. And has anyone ever had a power strip get unusually warm?

Last Sunday of August. Tucker is feeling all the feelings. 🐾

This month really showed up. The crew worked hard, the jobs were great, and this community kept showing us love. We don't take any of it for granted.

September is right around the corner, which means fall projects, back-to-schedule calls, and homeowners thinking about getting things wrapped up before the holidays.

If that's you, now's a great time to reach out and get on the calendar.

Honest question for the homeowners. 👇

Would you know if your home had an electrical issue right now?

Some signs are obvious, a breaker trips, a light flickers, an outlet stops working. But a lot of electrical problems don't show obvious symptoms. They quietly exist until they don't.

Things homeowners miss all the time:
→ Outlets that are slightly warm to the touch
→ A faint buzzing or humming from the panel
→ Lights in one room that are just slightly dimmer than others
→ Breakers that have to be reset more than once

None of these seem urgent. But each one can be a sign of something worth checking.

Have you had your home's electrical looked at in the last 5 years?

Drop a 🙋 if yes, or a 👀 if it's been a while. We read everything.

☀️ Is your home's electrical system ready for summer?

Higher temperatures mean higher energy use and that can put extra strain on your electrical panel, circuits, and appliances. A little preparation now can help prevent outages, tripped breakers, and costly repairs when you need power the most.

Here's something most people don't see. 🔧

Before we touch a single wire, we walk the job. Every time.

We check the panel, trace the circuits, look at what we're working with, and make sure we understand the full scope before we start. That's how we catch issues early and how we make sure the work we do doesn't create new problems elsewhere.

It adds time. It's worth it.

This is what 50 years of doing it right looks like. Not just skilled hands, but a process that protects our work and the homeowner.

⚡ Term of the Day: Watt (W)

(One of the most common electrical terms, but what does it actually mean?)

A watt (W) is a unit of electrical power. It tells you how much electricity a device uses while it's running.

The higher the wattage, the more power the device consumes.

Here are a few examples:
💡 LED light bulb: 8–12 watts
🖥️ Desktop computer: 200–500 watts
🍞 Toaster: 800–1,500 watts
⚡ Space heater: 1,500 watts

Knowing a device's wattage helps you avoid overloading circuits and better understand your home's energy use.

💡 Small number, big impact on your electrical system.
