L & W Electric | Certified Electrical Repair in Mission Viejo, CA

A professional inspection from L & W Electric assesses your home's readiness for PSPS events. We check your electrical panel's capacity and condition, evaluate critical circuits, and can recommend solutions like installing a manual transfer switch for a backup generator. This ensures you can safely power essentials like refrigeration or medical equipment during an outage, keeping your family secure and comfortable.

In older Mission Viejo homes, we focus on aging components that pose safety risks. Our inspection meticulously examines the main service panel for outdated fuses or insufficient capacity for modern appliances, checks for brittle or degraded knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, and tests GFCI and AFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms. Identifying these issues proactively prevents electrical fires and ensures your system meets current safety standards.

Our inspections are designed to find hidden dangers common in our area. We look for overloaded circuits from added appliances, loose connections in panels or outlets that can arc and spark, improper wiring in attics (a concern during hot, dry seasons), and the absence of arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) which are crucial for preventing electrical fires. Addressing these hazards is a key step in wildfire preparedness and overall home safety.
