Electrical Company Santa Fe NM | Call Electric Aid

Many Santa Fe homes, especially older adobe or historic properties, have wiring that may not meet current safety standards or handle modern electrical loads. Our inspection identifies issues like improper grounding or overloaded circuits that can lead to meter overheating—a common local problem. Catching these early prevents potential fire hazards and ensures your system is safe and efficient.

During an inspection, we meticulously examine the electrical meter, its connections, and the main service panel for signs of overheating, such as discoloration, burning smells, or loose terminals. We assess the overall load on your system to determine if it's exceeding capacity, which is a frequent cause of meter overheating in Santa Fe homes. This proactive check helps us recommend upgrades or repairs to prevent dangerous failures.

Improper grounding is a serious safety risk that can lead to electrical shocks or appliance damage. Our inspection includes testing your grounding system to ensure it properly directs stray voltage into the earth. If we find faults—like missing ground rods or faulty connections—we'll provide a clear plan to bring your system up to code, protecting you and your electronics from surges, which is crucial in our area's variable climate.
