Common Questions
With Chico's wildfire-related power shutdowns (PSPS events), what can you do to help keep my home powered?
We specialize in solutions for our area's specific challenges. For wildfire safety and PSPS events, we can install and service backup generators to provide essential power when the grid is down. We also perform thorough electrical inspections to ensure your system is safe and can handle the demands of backup power, helping you prepare for and navigate these local disruptions with greater peace of mind.
My home's electrical panel is old. What does an upgrade involve, and why is it important?
An outdated panel can be a safety hazard and limit your home's electrical capacity. Our licensed electricians handle full panel installations and replacements, ensuring your system meets modern safety codes and can support today's appliances and potential future additions like solar or electric vehicle charging. With projects dating back to 1960, we have the experience to complete the upgrade efficiently, minimizing disruption to your home.
