Lighting Electric | Experienced Electrical Repair in San Bernardino, CA

Aluminum wiring, common in many San Bernardino homes, can be a significant fire hazard over time due to connections loosening. At Lighting Electric, we start with a thorough electrical inspection to assess the condition. Based on our findings, we can recommend and perform the safest solution, which often involves installing specialized connectors (Al/Cu-rated) at all outlets and switches or a complete rewiring with modern copper to permanently eliminate the risk and bring your home up to current safety codes.

Signs in San Bernardino homes can include flickering lights, a burning smell from outlets or switches, frequently tripped breakers, or a buzzing sound from the walls. Attic wiring is especially vulnerable to heat damage and rodent interference. Our electric inspection service includes a detailed check of your attic wiring to identify damaged insulation, overloaded circuits, or faulty connections. We then provide a clear plan for safe repair or replacement, preventing potential electrical fires before they start.

Absolutely. An outdated electrical panel may not have the capacity or modern safety features (like AFCI breakers) needed to properly protect against the specific hazards of aluminum wiring or attic short circuits. Our electric panel installation service provides a modern, code-compliant upgrade. This not only increases your home's electrical capacity but also enhances its ability to detect and interrupt dangerous arc faults, adding a crucial layer of protection tailored to San Bernardino's common electrical concerns.
