Gatton Electric | Licensed Electricians in Redwood City, CA

Our detailed inspection assesses your home's readiness for PSPS events. We check the integrity of your main panel, test critical circuits, and evaluate any backup systems like generators or battery units to ensure they will operate safely and effectively when the grid power is shut off. This proactive step helps prevent damage to appliances and keeps essential systems running during an outage.

During our inspection, we look for common signs like chewed wire insulation, nesting materials in attics or crawl spaces, gnaw marks on boxes, and unexplained circuit breaker trips or flickering lights. Rodents, especially common in our local greenbelt areas, can create serious fire and shock hazards. Identifying and repairing this damage promptly is crucial for home safety.

Older homes in our area often have aging wiring that may not meet current safety codes and can be more vulnerable to both PSPS surges and rodent infiltration. Our inspection provides a complete assessment of your system's health, identifies outdated components like knob-and-tube wiring, and recommends upgrades to improve safety, reliability, and resilience against local environmental challenges.
