Electrical Company Thousand Oaks CA | Call Benjamin Electric

Our comprehensive electrical inspection is designed to ensure your Thousand Oaks home is safe and up to current code. We'll systematically check your electrical panel for proper amperage and breaker function, test outlets—including GFCIs in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoors—for proper grounding and trip speed, and inspect wiring for any signs of wear or improper connections. We pay special attention to local issues like corrosion in outdoor lighting circuits, which is common in our coastal climate. You'll receive a detailed report of our findings and clear recommendations for any necessary repairs or upgrades.

Yes, we frequently address this common local issue. In Thousand Oaks, outdoor lighting circuits are often exposed to moisture and temperature swings, leading to corrosion in connections, fixture housings, and junction boxes. This corrosion can cause short circuits or ground faults, which trip your GFCI or standard breaker. Our process involves a thorough inspection of the entire outdoor circuit, from the panel to each fixture. We identify and replace corroded components, ensure all connections are sealed and waterproof, and verify the GFCI protection is functioning correctly to prevent future nuisance trips and ensure long-lasting, safe outdoor lighting.

As a licensed (License No. 366106), bonded, and insured electrical contractor, we follow a meticulous process for panel upgrades. First, we conduct a detailed assessment of your home's current and future electrical needs. After obtaining any necessary permits from local authorities, we schedule the upgrade with minimal disruption. Our electricians safely disconnect the old panel, install the new one with higher capacity and modern safety features, and ensure all circuits are correctly transferred and labeled. We perform rigorous testing to confirm everything operates safely and is up to the latest National Electrical Code standards. Finally, we arrange for the city inspector's approval, providing you with peace of mind and documentation for your records.
