Castillo Electric | Emergency Electrical Services in El Paso, TX

Absolutely. A professional electrical inspection from Castillo Electric is the critical first step before installing an EV charger. We assess your main service panel's capacity, the condition of your existing wiring, and your overall electrical load. This allows us to identify if an upgrade is needed to safely add the high-demand circuit for your charger, preventing tripped breakers, overheating, and potential fire hazards common with DIY installations.

Installing a generator transfer switch is complex and must meet strict National Electrical Code (NEC) standards for safety. Our inspection ensures your home's electrical panel can integrate the switch correctly and that the generator's output is properly matched to your essential circuits. This prevents back-feeding electricity to the grid (which is illegal and dangerous to utility workers) and protects your home's appliances and wiring from damage due to incorrect power transfer.

We perform a comprehensive check tailored to our local housing stock. This includes looking for outdated aluminum wiring, insufficient grounding, overloaded circuits (a common precursor to EV charger issues), double-tapped breakers, and improper DIY repairs. We also verify that outdoor receptacles and any existing generator connections are up to current code, which is vital for safety in our climate. Our report gives you a clear, prioritized plan for any necessary upgrades.
