Common Questions
How can an electrical inspection help prepare my San Francisco home for a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS)?
An inspection by Lea Electric identifies critical systems that need protection, such as sump pumps, medical equipment, or refrigeration. We can assess your panel's health, recommend and install appropriate surge protection, and ensure your backup systems are properly connected and isolated, minimizing disruption and damage when power is intentionally shut off to prevent wildfires.
My older San Francisco home has flickering lights. Is this a sign of a serious problem?
In many historic SF homes, flickering lights often indicate outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, or loose connections—common issues with aging infrastructure. These are not just nuisances; they can be fire hazards. A professional electrical inspection from Lea Electric will diagnose the root cause, assess your system's capacity for modern appliances, and provide a clear, safe solution to protect your home.
What specific things do you check during an electrical inspection for an older property?
Our inspection for older homes focuses on safety and capacity. We thoroughly check for knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, inspect the main service panel for corrosion and correct amperage, test for proper grounding and GFCI protection, evaluate circuit loads, and examine all outlets and switches for signs of overheating or damage. This gives you a complete picture of your system's health and needed upgrades.
