Frequently Asked Questions

How can upgrading my electrical panel help during a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) in Santa Rosa?

An outdated or overloaded panel can prevent a backup generator from safely powering your home during an outage. We can install or upgrade your electric panel to meet current codes and handle the connection of a generator transfer switch. This ensures that when the grid power is shut off for safety, your generator can reliably provide electricity to essential circuits, keeping your lights, refrigeration, and medical equipment running.

What's involved in preparing my Santa Rosa home for a backup generator installation?

Proper preparation starts with a thorough electrical inspection to assess your home's capacity and safety. Our key services for generator readiness include installing a dedicated circuit and a certified transfer switch, which safely isolates your generator from the utility grid—a critical safety and legal requirement. We also ensure your main electrical panel can handle the new circuit and make any necessary repairs to existing wiring, creating a seamless and safe backup power solution for PSPS events.

Can you install an EV charging station if my Santa Rosa home has older wiring?

Absolutely. Many older homes need electrical upgrades to support the high demand of a Level 2 EV charger. We begin with an inspection of your existing service panel and wiring. Often, this leads to a panel upgrade or repair and the installation of a new, dedicated circuit to safely deliver power to your charging station. This not only enables efficient EV charging but also modernizes your home's electrical system for increased safety and capacity, which is beneficial for overall home resilience.
