Phillipps Electric | Reliable Electrical Contractor in Corte Madera, CA

Our comprehensive electrical inspection specifically evaluates your home's surge protection. We check for proper grounding at the main panel and individual circuits, assess the condition of any existing surge protection devices, and test outlets for correct wiring. Many surges originate within the home from appliances or faulty wiring. By identifying and correcting these internal risks and recommending appropriate whole-house or point-of-use surge protectors, we help safeguard your expensive electronics common in Corte Madera homes.

Absolutely. A primary focus of our inspection is evaluating your electrical panel's capacity versus your home's current and future demand. We calculate the load on each circuit, identify any double-tapped breakers (a common fire hazard), and assess the overall panel condition. For many older Corte Madera homes, the original 100-amp service is insufficient for today's appliances, computers, and charging stations. We provide a clear report on whether your panel is overloaded and offer expert solutions, from circuit reorganization to a panel upgrade, to restore safe, reliable power.

Our Corte Madera-focused inspection is a thorough safety and performance check. We examine your main service panel, circuit breakers, and wiring for hazards like corrosion, overheating, or outdated components like Federal Pacific panels. We test GFCIs and AFCIs in kitchens, bathrooms, and other required areas, check for proper grounding, and assess the overall system's ability to handle local demands. The goal is to give you a complete picture of your electrical system's health, highlighting any urgent safety issues and providing a prioritized plan for updates or repairs to ensure code compliance and peace of mind.
