Ohm Electric - Oakland's Best Electrical Repair

Rodents are a common issue in our area and love to chew on electrical wiring insulation, which creates a serious fire hazard and can cause shorts. Our Oakland electrical inspection includes a thorough check of your attic, crawl spaces, and behind walls for signs of pest damage. We identify compromised wires so they can be safely repaired or replaced before they lead to a circuit failure or, worse, an electrical fire.

Absolutely. Frequently tripping GFCIs are a common call we get from Oakland homeowners. While sometimes it's due to a faulty appliance, often it points to a deeper wiring issue or a ground fault somewhere in the circuit. Our inspection will test all your GFCIs, trace the circuit, and pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's moisture intrusion, worn-out outlet components, or faulty wiring—so we can make a precise and lasting repair.

Our standard inspection is a comprehensive health check for your home's electrical system. We'll meticulously examine your main service panel for proper labeling and capacity, test all outlets (including GFCIs and AFCIs) for correct function and grounding, check light fixtures and switches, and look for any signs of overheating, outdated wiring like knob-and-tube, or rodent damage—common issues in local homes. You'll receive a detailed report with our findings and clear recommendations for any necessary repairs or upgrades to ensure safety.
