Yes, overheating meter bases are a frequent concern in our area, often due to older infrastructure or increased home energy demands. This is a serious safety hazard that can lead to power outages or fire risk. You should contact us immediately for an inspection. We'll check the meter base, main connections, and your electrical panel to diagnose the cause—whether it's loose connections, corrosion, or an undersized service—and perform the necessary repairs or upgrades to restore safe operation.

A panel upgrade replaces your existing electrical panel with a new one that has more capacity and modern safety features. This is often needed for older Van Nuys homes to support new appliances, EV chargers, or home additions safely. The process involves coordinating with the utility company for a service disconnect, safely removing the old panel, installing the new one with updated circuit breakers, and ensuring all connections meet current code. It's a foundational project that improves safety and enables future electrical improvements for your home.

Absolutely. We specialize in EV charging station installation for Van Nuys residents. The process starts with an assessment of your home's electrical capacity to determine if your current panel can support the added load or if an upgrade is recommended. We then handle the proper circuit installation, mounting of the charging unit, and all necessary permits and inspections. A proper installation ensures fast, safe charging for your vehicle and adds value and convenience to your property.
