Frequently Asked Questions

Can a professional electrical inspection in Irvine identify issues with my backup generator hookup?

Absolutely. A comprehensive electrical inspection from Portugal Electric includes checking your transfer switch, load calculations, and the entire connection to your home's main panel. We ensure your generator is properly integrated and won't backfeed into the grid—a critical safety issue common with DIY or improper installations in Irvine homes.

I attempted a DIY electrical project and now have flickering lights. Can you help?

Yes, we can. Improper DIY work often leads to loose connections, overloaded circuits, or code violations that cause flickering lights and pose a fire risk. Our electricians will perform a detailed inspection to diagnose the issue safely and provide a permanent, code-compliant repair to restore safety and functionality to your Irvine home.

Why is an electrical inspection recommended before connecting a backup generator in Orange County?

In Orange County, strict electrical codes govern generator installations to prevent fire hazards, equipment damage, and dangerous backfeeding. An inspection verifies your home's electrical panel can handle the added load and that the automatic transfer switch is installed correctly. This ensures your Irvine home's backup power is reliable and safe during an outage.
