Araus Electric - Los Angeles's Certified Electricians

Yes, absolutely. We frequently address aluminum wiring concerns in Los Angeles area homes. This older wiring can overheat at connections, posing a serious risk. Our licensed electricians are trained in the proper methods to mitigate this hazard, which may include installing special connectors (COPALUM or AlumiConn) at all outlets and switches or recommending a partial rewire with modern copper wiring in high-risk areas. We can perform a thorough inspection to assess your specific situation and provide a clear, safe solution to protect your home.

Installing an EV charger is a popular service we provide. The process starts with our electrician evaluating your home's electrical panel to ensure it can handle the added load. We then determine the optimal location for the charger, run the necessary wiring, and install a dedicated circuit. For many homes, this is a straightforward upgrade. We handle all permits and ensure the installation meets current electrical codes, so you can charge your vehicle safely and efficiently.

A frequently tripping breaker is often a symptom, not the problem itself. It's a safety device indicating an overloaded circuit or a potential fault. Our approach is to first diagnose the root cause. We'll check for overloaded outlets, faulty appliances, or wiring issues before recommending a repair or panel upgrade. Simply replacing the breaker without fixing the underlying problem can be unsafe. We'll find the source of the trip and provide a lasting repair to restore reliable power to your home.
