Mid Town Electric | Qualified Electrical Contractor in Santa Cruz, CA

Rodents often chew through wiring insulation inside walls and attics, creating a serious fire hazard. Our detailed electrical inspection specifically looks for signs of this damage—like frayed wires, nests, or gnaw marks near electrical panels. We identify and repair compromised wiring before it can overheat, helping to prevent electrical fires that are a common concern in our local area.

Before wildfire season, a proactive inspection should verify that your main electrical panel, wiring, and connections are in top condition to handle potential surges when power is restored after a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS). We also check the safety and proper installation of any backup generators or transfer switches, ensuring they won't backfeed power to the grid and endanger line workers—a critical safety step for our Santa Cruz community.

After a prolonged outage, power can return with surges that stress aging wiring and appliances. Our post-shutdown inspection assesses your system for any damage caused by these fluctuations. We check for overheating at connections, test GFCI and AFCI outlets that may have been compromised, and ensure your entire system is safe to operate, giving you peace of mind that your Santa Cruz home is protected.
