Electrical Panels
Kanon Electric specializes in electrical panel inspections, upgrades, and repairs. Our experts ensure safe power distribution throughout your home, addressing outdated panels like Federal Pacific or Zinsco that pose fire risks. We install modern panels capable of handling today's energy demands, preventing frequent breaker trips and overheating. Our licensed technicians follow strict safety protocols to protect your family and property while ensuring compliance with current electrical codes.
Circuit Breakers
We provide comprehensive circuit breaker solutions including replacement, repair, and troubleshooting. Our team handles all brands and types, diagnosing issues like frequent tripping or burning smells that indicate electrical hazards. We ensure proper amperage capacity for new appliances or home additions, replacing faulty breakers to restore safe electrical function. Emergency services address critical failures affecting home safety and power reliability.
Emergency Generators
Kanon Electric installs and maintains emergency generators to keep essential systems running during outages. Our solutions power HVAC units, refrigeration, and lighting, with options for automatic transfer switches. We service existing generators to ensure reliability during storms or grid failures. This critical service protects homes and families from prolonged power loss, maintaining comfort and safety during emergencies.
Dedicated Circuits
We install dedicated circuits for high-power appliances like HVAC systems, refrigerators, and hot tubs. These circuits prevent overloading by providing individual breakers for each appliance, reducing fire risks from shared circuits. Our electricians assess your electrical load requirements to ensure safe operation of kitchen appliances, space heaters, and other power-hungry devices requiring isolated power supply.
Whole House Inspections
Our comprehensive electrical safety inspections identify hazards like outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, and faulty connections. We evaluate panel condition, outlet functionality, and code compliance to prevent fire risks. This service is recommended for older homes or before major renovations, ensuring your electrical system meets modern safety standards while identifying cost-effective upgrade opportunities.
