Absolutely. These are frequent concerns in our climate. For outdoor outlets, we install weatherproof, GFCI-protected receptacles designed to safely handle moisture and prevent shock hazards. For a hot electrical meter, this often indicates an overloaded panel or faulty connections, which can be a fire risk. We'll inspect your entire service, from the meter base to your main panel, to identify and resolve the cause, ensuring your home's electrical system is safe and up to current Oakland codes.

Our extensive experience with older house wiring is a key strength. We understand the nuances of knob-and-tube and other outdated systems common in historic Bay Area homes. We don't just patch problems; we provide a thorough assessment and a rewiring plan that prioritizes safety and modern capacity without compromising your home's character. As certified Green Building Professionals, we also advise on energy-efficient upgrades that can be integrated into the project.

Electromagnetic fields (EMF) are generated by electrical wiring and devices. High levels can be a health concern. Our testing uses specialized equipment to map EMF sources throughout your home, often pinpointing issues like improper wiring or grounding. Mitigation involves practical solutions such as correcting wiring errors, installing shielding, or repositioning beds and desks to create low-EMF zones. We've offered this specialized service for many years, providing Oakland residents with peace of mind about their in-home environment.
