Southeast Electric | Licensed Electrical Company in Juneau, AK

Voltage drops in remote areas often stem from undersized wiring, long cable runs, or failing connections. Our detailed electrical inspection will pinpoint the exact cause, whether it's at the service entry, within the panel, or in branch circuits. We'll assess your system's capacity and recommend solutions like upgrading wiring, adding voltage regulators, or installing a dedicated circuit to ensure your appliances and heating equipment run reliably, even miles from town.

Absolutely. This is a common issue in Juneau homes where older electrical systems weren't designed for modern heating loads. Our inspection includes a full load calculation on your circuits. We'll trace which outlets and appliances are on the same circuit as your heater, check for proper wire gauge and breaker sizing, and determine if the circuit is simply overloaded. We then provide a clear plan, which may involve circuit separation, a panel upgrade, or a dedicated line for your heater to prevent nuisance trips and fire hazards.

For Juneau homes, we focus on the factors that impact safety and performance in our environment. We meticulously check the main service panel and grounding for corrosion from moisture, inspect all wiring for adequate insulation against cold, verify that heating equipment circuits are properly sized and dedicated, and test for voltage stability under load. We also look for signs of DIY wiring that may not meet code for heavy loads. Our goal is to ensure your system is not just code-compliant, but robust enough for our local conditions.
