Electrical Company Reno NV | Call Jensen Electric Company

Many Reno homes, especially older ones, weren't wired for the high demand of modern EV chargers. Our inspection assesses your main service panel's capacity and the specific circuit you plan to use. We check for proper amperage, wiring gauge, and potential overloads on shared circuits. This proactive step ensures your charger operates safely without tripping breakers or overheating, which is a common local issue we resolve.

Reno's climate subjects attic spaces to extreme heat in summer and cold in winter, which can cause wiring insulation to become brittle and crack over time. Rodents seeking shelter can also chew on wires. Our electrical inspection includes a thorough check of accessible attic wiring for these specific, localized hazards. Identifying and repairing compromised wiring prevents short circuits that could lead to power outages or fire hazards.

Our inspection is tailored for Northern Nevada homes. Beyond standard checks, we focus on issues prevalent in our area: evaluating service panel capacity for added loads like EV chargers, inspecting attic and crawl space wiring for heat/cold damage, verifying proper grounding for our soil conditions, and ensuring all work meets current City of Reno and Washoe County electrical codes. It's a localized, preventative approach to electrical safety.
