Anchor Electric - San Jose's Licensed Electricians

A professional inspection by Anchor Electric assesses your entire electrical system's safety and identifies any vulnerabilities that could be risky during a PSPS event or when power is restored. We check your main panel, wiring, and grounding to ensure everything is up to code and can handle potential surges. This proactive step helps prevent electrical fires and ensures your backup systems, like generators, can be safely connected if needed.

Absolutely. Our electricians frequently correct unsafe DIY installations in San Jose homes. We'll safely disconnect the fixture, inspect the wiring in the junction box for damage or improper connections, and reinstall it correctly to meet California electrical code. This ensures your fixture operates safely, prevents potential shock or fire hazards, and gives you peace of mind.

One of the most critical upgrades is installing a manual or automatic transfer switch for a backup generator. This allows you to safely power essential circuits during a Public Safety Power Shutoff without the extreme danger of back-feeding power into the grid, which is illegal and endangers utility workers. We can assess your home's needs and install a code-compliant system to keep your family safe and comfortable during an outage.
