FAQs
Why does my arc fault breaker in Truckee keep tripping, and how can an inspection help?
Arc fault breakers in Truckee homes are sensitive to protect against electrical fires, but they can nuisance trip due to moisture, aging appliances, or even damaged wiring from our freeze-thaw cycles. Our detailed electrical inspection pinpoints the exact cause—whether it's a specific circuit, appliance, or wiring issue—so we can make a targeted repair to restore safe, reliable power without compromising your home's safety.
How can an electrical inspection detect rodent damage in my Truckee home's wiring?
Rodents seeking shelter can chew through wire insulation, creating dangerous short circuits and fire hazards that are often hidden inside walls or attics. Our comprehensive inspection includes a visual assessment of accessible areas and using testing equipment to identify irregularities in circuit performance that indicate damage. Finding and repairing these compromised wires is crucial for preventing electrical failures and ensuring your home's safety.
What does a standard electrical inspection from Custom Electric in Truckee include?
Our standard inspection is a thorough evaluation of your home's electrical system. We check the main service panel, test AFCIs and GFCIs, inspect wiring in accessible areas like attics and crawl spaces for damage or improper connections, verify grounding, and assess outlets and switches. For Truckee homes, we pay special attention to signs of moisture intrusion and wildlife activity that commonly lead to the electrical issues we see here.
