Frequently Asked Questions

What should I look for during an electrical inspection in my older Dublin home?

In Dublin's older homes, common red flags include frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights, outlets that are warm to the touch, or a lack of GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms. These can indicate overloaded circuits or outdated wiring. A professional inspection from Keeney Electric will thoroughly assess your panel, wiring, and grounding to identify these safety risks specific to your home's age and layout.

Why is my new light fixture causing issues in my older house?

Older homes in Dublin often have wiring that wasn't designed for modern lighting loads or fixtures. Installing a new fixture can reveal underlying problems like insufficient circuit capacity, incompatible wiring (like aluminum), or a lack of proper junction boxes. Our electricians don't just install the fixture; we ensure the existing electrical system can support it safely, often recommending necessary upgrades during the installation process.

What's involved in connecting a backup generator to my Dublin home's electrical panel?

Proper generator connection is critical for safety and requires a transfer switch to isolate your home from the utility grid—this prevents dangerous backfeed. Our process involves assessing your home's electrical load to size the generator correctly, installing a code-compliant transfer switch, and ensuring all connections meet local Dublin and Alameda County regulations. This guarantees your generator powers essential circuits safely during an outage.
