Electricians Piedmont CA | Call Eugene Jones Electrical

A comprehensive electrical inspection by Eugene Jones Electrical can identify critical systems that need backup power, such as medical equipment, refrigeration, or well pumps. We check your panel's condition and wiring to ensure it can safely support a generator transfer switch. This proactive step helps us create a tailored plan to keep your essential circuits running during a Public Safety Power Shutoff, a common concern in our area.

Yes, frequent tripping is a common sign your electrical panel is overloaded. Many older Piedmont homes have 100-amp panels that weren't designed for today's simultaneous use of air conditioning, EV chargers, and multiple high-wattage appliances. We can assess your current and future power needs—like adding a heat pump or car charger—and recommend a safe upgrade to a 200-amp panel or higher to handle modern electrical loads reliably.

Our inspection is thorough and safety-focused. We examine your main service panel for wear, corrosion, or outdated components like Federal Pacific or Zinsco breakers, which are known hazards. We check wiring for proper grounding, look for overloaded circuits, and inspect outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoors for GFCI protection. The goal is to provide you with a clear report on any fire risks, code issues, or necessary upgrades specific to the construction and needs of Piedmont residences.
