Entwisle Electic: Expert Electrical Company Serving Petaluma 94952

An electrical inspection is a proactive safety measure, especially important in our area. For Petaluma homes, common issues we find during inspections include outdated wiring that can't handle modern appliance loads, improper DIY repairs, and rodent damage to wires in attics or crawlspaces—a frequent local problem. An inspection by a licensed professional like us can identify these hidden hazards, ensure your system is up to current code for safety, and is often required before a home sale or major renovation. It gives you peace of mind about the safety of your family and property.

Our thorough inspection is a systematic review of your property's electrical health. We'll visually examine your main service panel for proper labeling, capacity, and any signs of overheating or corrosion—a key check given local issues with meter bases. We test outlets for proper grounding and GFCI protection, inspect wiring in accessible areas like attics for damage, and assess the overall system load. For generators or EV chargers, we verify the installation is correct and safe. We provide a clear, written report of our findings, explain any issues in plain language, and offer practical solutions tailored to your home's needs and budget.

Rodent damage is a significant fire and safety hazard we frequently encounter in Petaluma. When we find chewed wiring during an inspection or service call, our first priority is to make the area safe by de-energizing and replacing the damaged cables. We don't just patch the problem; we help prevent it from recurring. This often involves sealing entry points into the attic or crawlspace with rodent-proof materials and may include recommending protective conduit for vulnerable wiring runs. Addressing the root cause is part of our comprehensive approach to ensuring your electrical system remains safe and reliable long-term.
