CDL Electric - Humboldt's Professional Electricians

Our thorough electrical inspections are designed to ensure the safety and code compliance of your home's entire system. We meticulously check your main service panel for proper amperage and safe connections, test all outlets and GFCIs, inspect wiring in accessible areas for damage, and verify the functionality of your lighting circuits and major appliances. For older homes common in our area, we pay special attention to outdated wiring like knob-and-tube that may pose a fire risk. The goal is to identify potential hazards, recommend necessary upgrades for safety and efficiency, and provide you with a clear, documented report of our findings.

Power surges, often from lightning or utility grid fluctuations, are a common issue in Humboldt that can silently damage electronics and appliances. We offer targeted solutions to safeguard your home. This can include installing whole-house surge protectors at your main electrical panel, which act as a first line of defense for your entire electrical system. We can also recommend and install point-of-use surge protectors for sensitive electronics like computers and entertainment centers. During an inspection or service call, we can assess your home's current vulnerability and provide a practical plan to add these critical layers of protection.
