Why Do We Recommend Annual Panel Maintenance in Palm Springs?
A yearly visit tests your safety devices and checks your whole system, so a device that has stopped working can show up before you need it. Maintenance is never a condition of coverage. But damage from a lack of maintenance isn't covered, and an active Home Team Advantage Plan membership, which includes the visit, extends your warranty coverage.
What the Warranty Says
Is Annual Maintenance Required to Keep Your Panel Warranty in Palm Springs?
No. You are not required to have us maintain your panel to keep this coverage. Every warranty lasts its full term whether or not you are a member. So yearly maintenance with us is always your choice. Here's why we still recommend it.
Maintenance is never a condition of coverage.
Your neighbors' yearly checks
The yearly visit is the second most common job we do in Palm Springs, after outlets that stopped working.

What the Visit Does
What Does a Yearly Visit Do for Your Palm Springs Panel?
It keeps your panel maintained, tests its safety devices and checks the whole system, and you hear what we see. Membership covers the visit, and our panel warranty comes with one to three years of membership, depending on its level. Membership also ties into your coverage in two ways: the record we keep and how long coverage lasts.
- 01
What a yearly visit can show
Testing shows whether each safety device still does its job, such as a breaker with GFCI (Shock Prevention) Protection. If one has stopped working, you hear about it, and the repair is your call.
- 02
A record of your panel's care
Our warranties don't cover damage that results from a lack of maintenance. We keep a record of each visit to your home, so if you ever make a claim, it shows the care your panel has had.
- 03
Coverage past its term
While your Home Team Advantage Plan membership is active, coverage keeps going past the warranty's term. When the membership ends, that extension ends with it, and any time left on the original term still finishes.
- 04
Claims start with a call
If you ever need to make a claim, just tell us what's going on. You don't need receipts, because we look up your records by property address.
Ask what a yearly visit would check on your panel before you decide.
Know the Difference
What Does Our Panel Warranty Cover in a Palm Springs Home?
The panel and breakers we put in, and our work, are covered for the full term, parts and labor included. A panel that was in your home before our work isn't covered. More than half of Palm Springs homes were built before 1980. If you're not sure whether we put in your panel, ask us.
- Parts and labor on the panel and its breakers
- The grounding system, service cable and meter socket
- The work we performed
- Replacing the Whole Home surge protection at the panel
- Pre-existing systems
- Products the homeowner supplied
- Temporary repairs and obsolete circuit breakers
- Damage from a lack of maintenance
Our warranty covers the panel work we do, not a panel that was already there.
Worth a Call First
When Is It Worth Calling Us About Your Coverage?
- A breaker or other part of a panel we put in stops working.
- You're selling a home where we did panel work.
- You bought a home and want to know what coverage it has.
- You're not sure whether something is covered.
Call about your Palm Springs home whenever a coverage question comes up, even if you're not the one who hired us. Our parts and workmanship warranties stay with the home, and so does its record with us, kept under the property's address. We tell you what's still covered.
What to Expect
What Happens When You Call Us About Your Panel in Palm Springs?
We start with your panel, and the price depends on what it needs. If the visit shows a part that needs replacing, you hear the price first, and nothing is replaced until you say yes. After any work, we test the panel, tidy up and walk you through it.
- 01
We evaluate first.
We look at your panel and pull up any history it has with us.
- 02
We explain the situation.
You hear, in plain words, what we see in your panel and what any warranty on it covers.
- 03
We give you the price before any work begins.
Our $99 service fee covers the time we need to evaluate the situation, the available options, and guaranteed pricing before any work begins. Every decision about what happens next belongs to you.
- 04
Then you decide.
We'll explain what we see and walk you through your options. You decide what fits your home.
