FAQs
My Whittier home's electrical panel is original and trips frequently. What should I do?
This is a common issue in older Whittier homes. Frequent tripping often means your panel is overloaded and can't handle modern electrical demands, which is a fire hazard. We recommend a professional electrical inspection. J&H Electric can assess your system and typically suggests a panel upgrade or repair to increase capacity and safety, ensuring it meets current code for your family's protection.
How can I prepare my home for a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) event?
With wildfire-related shutdowns affecting our area, a permanently installed standby generator is the most reliable solution. J&H Electric can professionally install a generator with an automatic transfer switch, so it kicks on seconds after a utility outage. We handle all permits, electrical connections, and ensure it's installed safely to power essential circuits, keeping your lights, refrigeration, and medical equipment running.
Are my old wiring and outlets in my Whittier home a safety risk?
Yes, outdated wiring like knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, and ungrounded two-prong outlets, are significant safety risks common in older homes. They can lead to shocks, fires, and damage to electronics. J&H Electric offers thorough inspections and expert wire repair or replacement. We can also update your outlets to modern, grounded GFCI models, dramatically improving the safety and functionality of your home's electrical system.
