Electrical Company Petaluma CA | Call OFD Electric

Yes, addressing aluminum wiring is a common concern in older Petaluma homes. Our licensed electricians are experienced in evaluating and mitigating the risks associated with aluminum wiring systems installed before the mid-1970s. We can perform a thorough diagnostic inspection to identify any unsafe connections or deterioration. Solutions we provide may include installing specially rated connectors (CO/ALR devices) at all outlets and switches or recommending a partial re-wire of high-risk circuits. Our goal is to provide a clear assessment and practical options to significantly improve the safety of your home's electrical system.

An electrical panel upgrade, or service panel replacement, is often needed in Petaluma homes to support modern appliances, EV chargers, or home additions, or to replace an outdated or recalled panel. The process begins with our team evaluating your home's current electrical usage and future needs. We then coordinate with the local utility (PG&E) for any necessary service changes. Our licensed electricians will safely install a new, higher-capacity panel with modern safety features, ensuring all circuits are properly labeled and the installation meets current National Electrical Code and local Petaluma requirements. This upgrade enhances safety, prevents overloads, and provides the capacity for your home's electrical growth.
