Homes and wiring in Fresno
Fresno's Tower District and Fig Garden have homes from the 1920s to the 1940s, while most of the city is post-war tract housing and newer subdivisions to the north. Summers in the Central Valley are long and very hot, and air conditioning carries much of the year's electrical load.
Older homes often have 60 or 100 amp services that were sized before central air, and adding a larger AC system, rooftop solar or an EV charger frequently requires an upgrade. Rooftop solar is common across the city.
Weather, seasons and the utility
Fresno summers bring long runs of days above 100 degrees, and air conditioning often runs from May into October. Winter brings dense tule fog and cool, damp mornings, but rarely hard freezes. Wildfire smoke from the Sierra drifts into the valley in late summer, keeping windows shut and cooling running longer. PG&E serves Fresno and handles meters, service upgrades and solar interconnection. With so much sun, rooftop solar is common, and California's net-billing rules have made many new solar owners consider batteries, which adds another question for older panels.
Local issues electricians see
- AC circuits and panels under long summer heat
- Panel upgrades for solar and EV chargers
- Older wiring in Tower District and Fig Garden homes
