When it comes to remodeling, there’s one area that demands expert precision, safety, and compliance with strict codes: electrical work. Whether you’re planning a complete home renovation, a kitchen upgrade, or simply adding new outlets or lighting, professional electrical services are a cornerstone of any successful project.

Common Electrical Problems in Oakland Homes
Being a city with many historic homes, Oakland residents often face unique electrical challenges:
– Outdated Wiring:
Many homes built before 1950 still have knob-and-tube or cloth-insulated wiring, which is unsafe and often not up to code.
– Inadequate Panels:
Homes that haven’t upgraded their electrical panel may struggle to support modern appliances and EV chargers.
– Flickering Lights:
This could indicate overloaded circuits or loose wiring connections.
– Dead Outlets or Tripping Breakers:
Frequent breaker trips are often signs of wiring issues or panel overload.
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, call us for a full diagnostic and professional solution.
