Powersurge Electric - Truckee's Experienced Electricians

Many of Truckee's charming older homes have original electrical systems not designed for today's high-powered appliances, electronics, and EV chargers. Our thorough inspection identifies outdated wiring like knob-and-tube, overloaded circuits, and undersized panels that are common fire hazards. It's the first step to ensuring your home's safety and meeting the increased electrical demands of modern living.

Common signs in our area include frequent breaker trips, lights that dim when appliances turn on, a buzzing sound from the panel, or the inability to add new circuits. If your home still has a 60- or 100-amp service panel (common in older builds), it's likely insufficient. Upgrading to a 200-amp panel is often needed to safely run modern heating systems, kitchens, and home offices simultaneously.

We understand Truckee's extreme weather. Our upgrades include installing outdoor-rated, weatherproof panels that can withstand heavy snow and temperature swings. We also ensure proper grounding and bonding to protect against power surges, which are more common in mountain regions. Our process is efficient, with minimal disruption, and we always coordinate with the local utility (Liberty Utilities) to ensure a seamless and code-compliant service upgrade for your home.
