Kinkade Electric - Alpine's Expert Electrical Company

A thorough electrical inspection by Kinkade Electric assesses your entire system's health and safety. For Alpine homes, we specifically check for vulnerabilities that severe storms can exploit, such as outdated wiring, inadequate grounding, or poor panel connections. This proactive service ensures your home is as resilient as possible, reducing the risk of internal failures during an outage and confirming your system is ready to safely connect to a backup generator if needed.

Absolutely. Generator transfer switches are critical for safe, automatic operation but can malfunction due to age, weather exposure, or improper installation. As your local Alpine electricians, we inspect the transfer switch as part of our electrical service to diagnose the problem—whether it's a faulty sensor, wiring issue, or compatibility problem. We'll repair or replace it to ensure your generator kicks in reliably the moment the grid power fails.

Once power is restored, first check for any lingering signs of damage like burning smells, sparks from outlets, or circuits that won't reset. Even if things seem normal, we recommend a post-storm electrical inspection. Storms can cause hidden damage to wiring, panels, and outdoor fixtures. Our inspection can identify these latent hazards, preventing future shock or fire risks and ensuring your system is fully operational and safe for the next Alpine weather event.
