Davis Electric Co | Licensed Electrical Services in Bakersfield, CA

Many Bakersfield homes, especially those built before the 1980s, may have outdated systems not designed for today's electrical demands. Our inspection identifies critical safety issues common in the area, like overloaded panels and aging aluminum wiring, which are known fire hazards. A professional assessment ensures your family's safety and the reliability of your home's power.

Signs your panel may be overloaded include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights when appliances run, or a panel that's warm to the touch. Many local homes still have 60 or 100-amp service, which is insufficient for modern living. Our electricians can perform an inspection to evaluate your current load and recommend an upgrade, typically to 200-amp service, for safety and capacity.

If our inspection finds aging aluminum wiring—a common issue in many Bakersfield homes—we offer expert remediation to mitigate the fire risk. We don't just recommend a full rewire; we provide professional, code-compliant solutions like COPALUM crimp connectors or AlumiConn™ connectors at outlet and switch connections. This permanent repair addresses the hazard at its source, ensuring safety.
