Q&A
Why is an electrical inspection important for my outdoor lighting in Chico?
Chico's climate can cause moisture-related corrosion in outdoor electrical circuits, which is a fire and shock hazard. A professional electrical inspection by Swearingen Electric identifies corroded wiring, faulty connections, and inadequate weatherproofing in your outdoor lighting system. We ensure everything is safe, functional, and up to current electrical codes.
Can my home's current electrical panel handle adding an EV charger?
Many older Chico homes have electrical panels that are already near capacity. Adding a high-demand EV charger can cause dangerous circuit overloads. Swearingen Electric performs a detailed electrical inspection to assess your panel's capacity, wiring, and overall system health. We'll let you know if an upgrade is needed for safe, efficient EV charging.
What does Swearingen Electric look for during a home electrical inspection?
Our thorough inspection focuses on safety and capacity, key concerns for Chico homeowners. We check for signs of corrosion in outdoor and garage circuits, test for overloaded circuits (common with added appliances or EV chargers), verify proper grounding, inspect the main service panel, and ensure all work meets the National Electrical Code. We provide a clear report and recommendations.
