01 Services

Every circuit.
Every scope.

From a single troublesome breaker to full design-build projects, Owsley Electric delivers complete electrical work for homes and businesses across Humboldt County — done once, done right.

Electrical Installation

Complete installation for commercial and residential projects — panels, circuits, lighting, and power distribution, built to code and built to last.

Service & Repair

Fast, dependable service work when something isn't right — repairs handled by an experienced electrician who has seen it all in 25+ years on the job.

Electrical Design

Design-build capability using CAD/PDF drawings — we can design your system, produce the documents, and build exactly what's on the page.

New Construction

Ground-up electrical for new commercial and residential builds — coordinated with your GC and schedule from rough-in through final inspection.

Remodels

Upgrades and rewires for remodels of every size — bringing older systems up to modern code, capacity, and safety without slowing your project down.

Troubleshooting

Methodical diagnosis of faults, flickers, and mystery trips — plus straight answers on components and configurations before you spend a dime.

02 Testing & Consulting

Find faults
before they find you.

Preventive maintenance testing that turns your electrical system's condition into hard numbers — so problems get fixed on your schedule, not during an outage.

“Data-driven insights to enhance system reliability, reduce downtime, and support informed maintenance planning.”

Electrical Consulting

Expert support for existing and new electrical projects — diagnosing system issues, optimizing performance, and assisting with design and upgrades. Get a second set of experienced eyes before you commit.

Insulation Resistance (Megger) Testing

Verifies the integrity of conductor insulation before a breakdown becomes a failure — a baseline every critical system should have on record.

Power Cable Diagnostics

Condition assessment of power cabling to catch degradation early, extend service life, and prioritize replacement where it actually matters.

Transformer Oil Testing & Dissolved Gas Analysis

Lab-grade insight into transformer health — dissolved gas signatures reveal developing faults long before they take equipment offline.

Infrared Thermography

Thermal imaging that detects hidden hot spots in panels, connections, and equipment — invisible to the eye, obvious on camera, fixed before it burns.
