Q&A

What electrical services are most important for older homes in San Jose?

For many of San Jose's older homes, proactive electrical maintenance is key. We frequently handle panel upgrades to meet modern power demands, whole-house rewires to replace aging or unsafe wiring (which can be a fire hazard), and the installation of additional outlets and GFCI protection for safety. Upgrading your electrical system not only improves safety but also supports new appliances and technology, making it a valuable investment in your home.

My power was shut off due to wildfire risk. What should I check when it comes back on?

After a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS), it's wise to do a quick check. First, ensure your main electrical panel hasn't tripped. Then, walk through your home and test outlets, especially GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms, which may need to be reset. Pay attention to any unusual smells, sounds from appliances, or flickering lights, as these can indicate damage from the power restoration surge. If you notice anything concerning, it's best to have a professional like us inspect your system to ensure everything is safe and functioning correctly.

Can you install an electric vehicle charging station at my home?

Absolutely. We are experienced in EV charger installation for San Jose homeowners. The process starts with an assessment of your home's existing electrical capacity, often at the main panel, to ensure it can handle the new load safely. We then handle all aspects of the installation, from obtaining any necessary permits to running the proper wiring and configuring the charging unit. This service is part of our commitment to helping local residents modernize their homes efficiently and safely.
