Common Questions
My circuit breakers in Gastonia keep tripping, especially the AFCI ones. What's causing this and how can you help?
Arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) trips are a common issue in Gastonia homes, often caused by aging wiring, overloaded circuits, or appliances with worn motors. Our team has extensive experience diagnosing these frequent local problems. We start with a thorough inspection to pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's a wiring fault needing repair, an overloaded circuit requiring an upgrade, or a problematic appliance. We then provide a clear solution, such as targeted wire repair, a panel upgrade to better distribute load, or installing updated, code-compliant AFCI breakers to restore safe, reliable power to your home.
Why should I consider Carolina Power Solutions for an electric vehicle charging station installation?
With over 30 years in the electrical industry, we have the expertise to ensure your EV charger installation is done safely and correctly. We assess your home's electrical capacity, particularly the main panel, to determine if an upgrade is needed to handle the new load—a common requirement for older Gastonia homes. Our licensed electricians handle the entire process, from permitting to the final connection, ensuring the installation meets all national and local codes. This provides a reliable, high-speed charging solution that protects your home's electrical system and your new vehicle.
What's involved in an electrical panel inspection and upgrade for my older Gastonia home?
An electrical panel inspection is a critical safety check, especially for older homes. We examine the panel for signs of overheating, corrosion, outdated components, and ensure it can safely handle your home's current and future electrical demands. If an upgrade is needed, our process involves carefully disconnecting the old panel, installing a new, higher-capacity unit with modern safety features like AFCI/GFCI protection, and reconnecting all circuits. As a licensed and insured contractor, we manage all necessary permits and ensure the upgrade meets current National Electrical Code standards, providing you with a safer, more reliable electrical foundation for your home.
