Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a standard electrical inspection for my San Carlos home?

A standard electrical inspection from Martinez Electric involves a thorough evaluation of your home's electrical system. We check for code compliance, safety hazards like outdated wiring or faulty connections, the capacity and condition of your electrical panel, and the functionality of outlets, switches, and fixtures. For San Carlos residents, we pay special attention to common local issues, such as checking for signs of underground cable damage which can occur from soil movement in our area. The goal is to provide a clear report on your system's health and any recommended repairs for safety and efficiency.

I'm having issues with my backup generator not kicking in during a Bay Area power outage. Can you help?

Absolutely. Generator connection and transfer switch problems are a common issue we address for homeowners in San Carlos. Daniel's expertise includes diagnosing why a standby or portable generator fails to engage. We'll inspect the transfer switch for proper operation, check all critical connections for corrosion or damage, verify the control wiring, and ensure the generator itself is receiving the correct signal from your home's electrical panel. Many times, the issue is a faulty connection or a setting that needs adjustment, which we can promptly resolve to restore your backup power reliability.

Do you handle permits for electrical work like panel upgrades in San Carlos?

Yes, we do. As a licensed electrical contractor, Martinez Electric manages the entire permit process for projects that require it, such as panel upgrades, new construction circuits, or EV charger installations. We are familiar with the specific requirements of San Carlos and San Mateo County. We'll pull the necessary permits on your behalf, ensure all work is performed to the current California Electrical Code, and schedule the required inspections with the local building department. This takes the hassle off your shoulders and guarantees your project is completed legally and safely.
