Oakland Plumbing & Electrical Services | Winston's Plumbing & Electric

Yes, electrical meter overheating is a known issue in many Oakland homes, especially with older wiring or increased demand from modern appliances and solar systems. Our team is experienced in diagnosing the root cause, which can range from loose connections to undersized service panels. We perform a detailed electrical inspection to ensure safety and compliance, then provide clear repair options to prevent potential hazards and restore reliable power to your home.

Our plumbing inspections are thorough and tailored to the specific needs of Bay Area homes. We examine water pressure, look for leaks in visible piping, check drains for proper flow, inspect water heaters for efficiency and safety, and assess fixtures and shut-off valves. For older Oakland homes, we pay special attention to galvanized pipes that may be nearing the end of their lifespan and sewer line conditions, which can be affected by local tree roots. You'll receive a detailed written analysis with prioritized recommendations.
