Q&A
How can an electrical inspection help prepare my South Pasadena home for wildfire season and PSPS events?
A thorough electrical inspection by Fernie's Electric is a key preventative step. We assess your entire system, focusing on your electric panel's capacity and health, which is critical during PSPS events when power is restored. We also check all outdoor outlets, wiring, and fixtures for vulnerabilities to water intrusion—a common issue here that can become a fire hazard in dry conditions. This proactive check ensures your system is safe and can handle the strain of potential generator use or sudden power restorations.
My outdoor outlet got wet during a storm and now doesn't work. What should I do?
Water intrusion in outdoor outlets is a serious safety hazard common in our area and requires immediate attention. First, turn off the circuit breaker powering that outlet to prevent shock or fire risk. Do not use the outlet. Contact Fernie's Electric for professional outlet repair or replacement. We will safely assess the damage, replace any corroded components or wiring, and install a weatherproof, GFCI-protected outlet designed to withstand South Pasadena's weather, restoring safe power to your outdoor space.
Can you install a generator to keep essential circuits running during a Public Safety Power Shutoff?
Absolutely. Generator installation is a valuable service for South Pasadena homeowners concerned about PSPS events. Fernie's Electric can professionally install a transfer switch and connect your generator to your home's electrical panel. This ensures safe, isolated operation, preventing back-feed danger to utility workers and allowing you to power critical circuits like refrigeration, medical equipment, or lighting. We'll ensure the installation meets all local codes and integrates seamlessly with your existing electrical system for reliable backup power.
