Q&A
My outdoor outlets stopped working after a storm. Is this a common issue in Truckee, and can you fix it?
Yes, water intrusion in outdoor outlets is a frequent problem in our climate due to heavy snow and ice. We can diagnose the issue, which often involves repairing or replacing water-damaged wiring and installing weatherproof, code-compliant outlets designed to withstand Truckee's conditions to prevent future problems.
I'm considering a backup generator for power outages. What does your installation service include?
Our generator installation service is comprehensive. We handle the proper sizing for your home's needs, the safe connection to your electrical panel via a transfer switch, and all necessary permits and inspections. We also specialize in troubleshooting and repairing existing generator connections, a common need in our area, to ensure reliable operation when you need it most.
What are the benefits of installing an electric snow-melting system for my Truckee driveway?
