Questions and Answers

What does an electrical inspection from Jenkins Electric involve for a Bakersfield home?

Our inspection is a thorough review of your home's electrical system, checking for safety, code compliance, and potential issues like outdated wiring or overloaded circuits. Given the local climate and common issues like rodent damage, we pay special attention to wiring in attics, crawlspaces, and panels. We provide a detailed report with prioritized recommendations to ensure your family's safety and system reliability.

Do you repair residential generators, and what's your typical process?

Yes, we repair both residential and industrial generators. Leveraging our decades of experience with large industrial power systems, our process starts with comprehensive diagnostics to identify mechanical or electrical faults. We then provide a clear estimate for repair, using our in-house capabilities for parts fabrication or sourcing quality replacements. Our goal is to restore your backup power reliably and efficiently.

My arc fault breaker keeps tripping. Is this a common issue in Bakersfield, and can you help?

Yes, arc fault breaker trips are a frequent concern here, often linked to older wiring, rodent damage, or specific appliance issues. Our team first identifies the source of the arc fault, which could be in the wiring, an outlet, or a device. We then perform the necessary repair or replacement, such as fixing damaged wire insulation or upgrading an outlet. Our industrial-grade diagnostic tools and repair expertise allow us to resolve these sensitive safety issues effectively for your home.
