Questions and Answers

My older Bay Area home's lights flicker and outlets feel warm. Could this be due to aging wiring?

Yes, absolutely. Many beautiful older homes in San Francisco and the Peninsula have original wiring that can't handle modern electrical loads, leading to overheating, flickering, and fire hazards. SRS Electric specializes in evaluating and upgrading this aging infrastructure. We can perform a thorough electrical inspection, recommend necessary wire repairs or replacements, and install a modern electrical panel to ensure your home is safe and can power all your devices reliably.

I'm considering a backup generator because of local power reliability concerns. What's involved in a proper installation?

A proper generator installation is critical for safety and performance, especially given the Bay Area's specific needs. It's not just about placing the unit; it requires a safe, code-compliant connection to your home's electrical panel via a transfer switch. SRS Electric handles the entire process—from assessing your home's power needs and selecting the right generator to performing the panel connection and ensuring automatic, seamless operation during an outage. This prevents dangerous backfeed into the grid and protects your home's electrical system.

Can you upgrade my electrical panel to support both an EV charger and a backup generator?

Definitely. This is a common request as Bay Area residents add EVs and seek backup power. Many older panels are already overloaded. SRS Electric can assess your current panel's capacity and safely upgrade it to a modern, higher-amperage model. This creates a robust foundation that allows for the simultaneous installation of an EV charging station and a generator transfer switch, ensuring both systems operate safely and efficiently without overloading your home's electrical system.
