FAQs

What does a standard electrical inspection cover for my Novato home?

Our inspections are thorough and designed for safety. We check your main service panel for proper amperage and secure connections, test all GFCI and AFCI outlets, ensure proper grounding, and verify that all lighting and switch wiring is secure and up to current National Electrical Code (NEC) standards. We specifically look for common local issues like signs of meter overheating or improper generator connections, providing you with a clear, prioritized report on any findings.

I'm in Novato and my electrical meter feels hot or is making noise. Is this urgent?

Yes, an overheating meter is a serious safety concern that requires immediate attention. This can be caused by loose connections, an overloaded system, or a failing meter itself—issues we frequently address for Novato residents. Center Electrical can safely disconnect power, inspect the meter base and service cables, and coordinate with PG&E if a meter replacement is needed. We prioritize these calls to prevent potential fire hazards or power outages.

Can you handle the permit drawings and wiring for a home theater or lighting remodel?

Absolutely. My background in electronics and sound design, combined with decades of electrical contracting, is ideal for complex projects like home theaters and custom lighting. We create detailed electrical drawings for city permits, run dedicated circuits for equipment, and install structured wiring for audio, video, and network systems. We ensure everything is integrated cleanly, meets code, and performs reliably, from recessed LED lighting to low-voltage landscape wiring.
