Q&A
What is included in your electrical inspection service for San Francisco homes?
Our electrical inspection is a thorough assessment of your home's electrical system, designed to meet San Francisco's specific codes and challenges. We check your main service panel, wiring, outlets, and safety devices like GFCIs. Given the local climate, we pay special attention to areas prone to moisture, such as outdoor circuits and connections for features like solar inverters, to identify potential corrosion or faults that could lead to safety hazards or system failures.
As a company founded in 1981, what kind of projects has Metro Electric handled?
Since our start in San Francisco over four decades ago, we've managed a wide and diverse portfolio. Our experience ranges from large-scale electrical construction and communications installations for clients like Stanford University Medical Center and major tech firms, to comprehensive service and maintenance for local businesses and residences. This long history gives us the practical knowledge to handle both complex commercial upgrades and common residential electrical issues.
My outdoor lights in San Francisco keep failing. Could this be a wiring issue?
Yes, this is a common issue we see in the Bay Area. San Francisco's moist, salty air can lead to corrosion in outdoor lighting circuits and connections much faster than in drier climates. During an inspection, we specifically examine these exterior circuits for corrosion damage, ensure proper sealing of connections, and verify that the wiring is intact and safely grounded. Addressing this promptly can prevent more extensive electrical problems and restore safe, reliable outdoor lighting.
