FAQs

What safety certifications do your electricians hold?

Every technician who works on our Palmer projects carries a current Alaska State Electrical Journeyman or Master license, an OSHA-10 or OSHA-30 card, and annual CPR/First-Aid certification. Many also maintain NFPA 70E training for arc-flash awareness, ensuring they follow the most up-to-date electrical safety practices on every job.

How do you ensure compliance with Palmer building and electrical codes?

Before work begins, we pull the required permits from the Matanuska-Susitna Borough and review the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) amendments adopted locally. All materials and installation methods are cross-checked against these codes and inspected by both our in-house Quality & Safety Manager and the borough’s electrical inspector, guaranteeing full compliance and a safe finished system.

What precautions do you take before starting an electrical repair?

We perform a multi-point safety assessment that includes lockout/tagout of the affected circuits, voltage verification with calibrated meters, and infrared scanning to locate hidden hot spots. Work zones are barricaded, anti-static mats are laid where appropriate, and fire extinguishers rated for electrical fires are kept within 10 feet of the workspace.

Are your repair methods environmentally safe?

Yes. We use low-smoke, halogen-free wire where feasible, recycle removed copper and aluminum conductors, and dispose of hazardous items such as ballasts or batteries through certified recyclers in the Palmer area. All cleaning agents are biodegradable and UL-listed for electrical applications, reducing environmental impact without compromising safety.

What should homeowners in Palmer do if they suspect an electrical hazard?

Immediately switch off the main breaker if it is safe to do so, keep people away from the area, and call us or 911 if fire or arcing is present. Do not use water on an electrical fire, and avoid touching any device or cord that looks damaged. Our 24/7 emergency line connects you to a licensed electrician who can walk you through interim safety steps until we arrive.

Do you offer safety inspections after the repair is completed?

Absolutely. Upon finishing a repair, we perform a final torque check on all terminations, run a circuit-performance test, and issue a written Safety & Compliance Report. For added peace of mind, customers can schedule free follow-up inspections at 6 and 12 months to verify that everything remains in safe operating condition.
