☎ Call (844) 480-6005Palo Alto is a community of about 67,901, roughly 56% owner-occupied homes, a median home built around 1962. In California, real seasonal swings mean homes need wiring and panels that comfortably handle both heating and cooling loads. Homes built around 1962 can still carry aging wiring, ungrounded outlets, or undersized panels, so panel upgrades, rewiring and GFCI work are common here.
Based on Palo Alto's housing and California's climate, these are the problems local homeowners call about most:
| Spring | Inspection season — catch worn wiring before peak heating/cooling. |
|---|---|
| Summer | Confirm the panel handles AC plus any new EV charger. |
| Fall | Add surge protection and service backup power. |
| Winter | Watch heating-circuit loads and breaker trips. |
