Chacon Electric | Qualified Electrical Company in Compton, CA

This is a very common issue in older Compton homes. It typically means your electrical panel is overloaded and can't handle the combined load of modern appliances like AC units, refrigerators, and electronics. An outdated panel is a safety risk. Chacon Electric can perform a thorough electrical inspection to diagnose the problem and recommend a solution, which is often a panel upgrade or repair to restore safe, reliable power.

Key signs include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, a burning smell from the panel, breakers that feel warm to the touch, or the use of multiple power strips because you don't have enough outlets. If your home still has a fuse box or a panel with 100 amps or less, it's likely insufficient for today's electrical loads. Our electricians can assess your panel and discuss installation options to safely meet your family's energy needs.

Absolutely. Before any new light fixture installation, our team evaluates your current electrical load and circuit capacity. Adding lighting to an already strained system in an older home can be dangerous. We ensure the installation is done correctly on a properly rated circuit and, if necessary, will recommend a panel upgrade or new dedicated circuit to power your new lighting safely and efficiently, preventing overloads.
