Trusted Local Electrician & Generator Service | Coeur d'Alene, ID | Platinum Electric

An overheating outlet is a serious safety concern common in older North Idaho homes and should be addressed immediately. First, stop using that outlet and switch off the circuit at your breaker panel if it's safe to do so. This issue often stems from loose wiring, overloading, or a failing outlet itself. Our team at Platinum Electric can perform a thorough inspection to diagnose the exact cause, whether it requires a simple repair, a circuit adjustment, or an upgrade to meet current safety standards, ensuring your home is protected.

Proper generator installation is crucial for safety and reliability, especially with our local weather. A professional install by Platinum Electric includes correctly sizing the unit for your home's needs and, most importantly, installing and configuring the automatic transfer switch. This switch safely isolates your home from the utility grid when the generator kicks in, preventing backfeed that could endanger utility workers and your family. Our 25 years of experience ensure the entire system is wired to code, so your backup power works seamlessly when you need it most.

An electrical inspection for a renovation is a key step to ensure safety and compliance. Our electricians will assess your existing panel's capacity to handle new circuits, verify that all new wiring meets current National Electrical Code and local Coeur d'Alene standards, and check that all outlets, switches, and fixtures are properly installed. This process helps prevent overloaded circuits, identifies any needed panel upgrades upfront, and provides peace of mind that your updated space is both functional and safe for years to come.
