RES Electric - Claremont's Expert Electrical Company

Our electrical inspection for older Claremont homes is a thorough safety assessment. We check the main service panel for capacity and wear, test outlets for proper grounding (crucial for protecting modern electronics), and inspect wiring for deterioration, which is common in aging properties. We pay special attention to any signs of previous DIY repairs or outdated systems like knob-and-tube wiring, providing you with a clear, prioritized report and recommendations to ensure your home's electrical system is safe and up to current codes.

Many Claremont homes still have older 100-amp panels that can't safely handle the demand of modern households with multiple computers, appliances, and HVAC systems. This can lead to frequent breaker trips. Our panel upgrade service involves a full assessment of your home's electrical needs. We then install a new, higher-capacity panel (like 200-amp), ensuring all connections are secure and the installation meets current safety standards. This upgrade provides a safe, reliable foundation for your home's power and can prevent damage from power surges.

Soil shifts in the Claremont area can indeed damage underground service cables, leading to intermittent power or complete outages. When we suspect this issue, we first perform diagnostic testing to confirm the fault's location. Our repair involves carefully excavating to access the damaged section, replacing it with new, durable cable rated for direct burial, and ensuring all connections in the trench and at the meter panel are completely secure and waterproofed. We then backfill appropriately to minimize future soil stress on the new cable, restoring reliable power to your home.
