Bill Marvin Electric | Trusted Electrical Contractor in Fresno, CA

An electrical inspection by Bill Marvin Electric assesses your entire system's load. We check if your current breaker panel is adequately sized for your home's modern electrical demands, which often increase with new appliances and electronics. If we find it's overloaded or outdated—a common issue in many Fresno homes—we can recommend a safe panel upgrade. This prevents frequent tripping, reduces fire risk, and ensures your home has the capacity for reliable power.

Absolutely. During our inspection, we evaluate your home's vulnerability to surges, which can damage sensitive electronics like computers and TVs. We check the condition of your wiring and existing protection. If needed, we can install whole-house surge protectors at your main electrical panel. This provides a first line of defense, diverting dangerous voltage spikes from outside (like from the grid or lightning) before they ever reach your outlets and devices.

Our comprehensive inspection focuses on safety and preventing the local issues we see often. We meticulously check your breaker panel for proper amperage, signs of overheating, and secure connections. We examine wiring for damage or outdated materials like aluminum. We test GFCIs and AFCIs in kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas, and assess your grounding system. The goal is to give you a clear, honest report on any hazards, like those leading to overloads or surges, and provide practical solutions tailored for your Fresno home.
