Heat & gas fireplace insert. Pilot light is on. Wall switch is engaged and it takes several seconds or a minute for flame to ignite. We feel this is dangerous and not normal. What are your thoughts?
It sounds like you are getting a delayed ignition and the thermopile is dirty and needs to be cleaned or the contacts in the wall switch are starting to fail. We recommend that a gas fireplace be serviced just like a furnace every 1-2 years.

DO I HAVE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE IF MY SMOKE DETECTOR IS CHIRPING?
Smoke detectors chirp when their batteries run low. Changing the battery will usually fix the problem. We recommend changing smoke detector batteries once a year. If changing the battery doesn’t stop the chirping, it might be time to replace the detector itself.
I'm calling from the office for electricians. Can Mina come for 2 jobs tomorrow? The first job is between 10 AM and 1 PM in San Pedro near Terminal Island. The customer wants to change 25 outlets in the entire house. The second job is between 12 and 3 PM in Rancho Palos Verdes. The customer has ceiling lights in the garage that needs a ladder to turn them off and adjust the bulb to turn them on, which means the light and switch are not working.

How does a Cesspool or Septic System work?
Wastewater flows from your Residence into the septic tank or main cesspool. The organic liquid waste floats at the top and the solid waste and inorganic sludge falls to the bottom. The natural bacteria generated inside the system converts the floating waste into sludge and liquid. The liquid between the “floating solids” and the “sludge” layers flows into the leaching secondary tank where it drains through the sides and bottom in a cesspool or flows out to the septic field in a septic system.
