Jarochos Electric | Licensed Electrical Company in Palo Alto, CA

Our thorough electrical inspection includes checking for signs of rodent activity in your attic, crawl spaces, and behind walls. We look for gnawed wires, nesting materials, and entry points. Identifying compromised wiring early prevents dangerous short circuits and fire hazards, which are common issues in our area. We then recommend and perform necessary repairs or protective installations to safeguard your home.

Not always. Our electricians first diagnose the exact cause. Often, a short is due to damaged insulation from rodents or age in a specific section. We can frequently perform a targeted replacement of the affected wiring, which is more cost-effective than a full rewire. However, if the inspection reveals widespread deterioration or unsafe old wiring, a panel upgrade and more extensive replacement may be recommended for long-term safety.

Many older Palo Alto homes have electrical panels that are already at capacity. As part of our EV charging station installation service, we always conduct a load calculation and inspection of your current panel. If needed, we can safely upgrade your electric panel to support the new charger and your home's other electrical demands, ensuring safe, efficient charging and future-proofing your electrical system.
