FAQs
My GFCI outlets in my Chico home keep tripping. What could be the issue?
In Chico's older homes, GFCI outlets can trip due to accumulated moisture in garages or outdoor areas, or because of aging wiring. Our electricians start by diagnosing the specific circuit to determine if it's a faulty outlet, a wiring issue, or a sign of a deeper problem with your home's grounding. We provide a clear explanation and a reliable fix to restore safe, code-compliant power to your kitchen, bathroom, or outdoor spaces.
I'm considering solar for my home. Does Bess Electric handle the entire installation?
Yes, we provide complete turnkey solar system installations. Our process includes an initial consultation to assess your home's energy needs and roof suitability, system design, permitting with the City of Chico, professional installation of panels and inverters, and final inspection. We also specialize in integrating battery backup systems, so you can store solar energy for use during outages or in the evening.
What's involved in installing an electric vehicle charging station at my home?
Installing a home EV charger typically requires us to evaluate your existing electrical panel's capacity to handle the added load. For many homes, this means a panel upgrade or a dedicated circuit installation. Our licensed electricians handle all aspects: from selecting the right charger for your vehicle to pulling permits, running safe, dedicated wiring, and setting up the unit for convenient daily use. We ensure the installation meets all current electrical codes for your safety.
