San Fernando Valley Electrician | FAM Electric - Repairs, Panels & EV Chargers

Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) breakers are safety devices required in modern homes, but they can be sensitive to the age and condition of wiring, which is common in many San Fernando Valley properties. Frequent trips can be caused by loose connections, damaged wire insulation, or even certain appliances. Our electricians are experienced in diagnosing the root cause of nuisance trips. We'll thoroughly inspect your circuits and wiring, make any necessary repairs to bring your system up to standard, and ensure your AFCI breakers function properly to protect your home without constant interruptions.

If your lights dim when major appliances turn on, you frequently reset tripped breakers, your panel feels warm to the touch, or you're simply adding high-demand devices like an EV charger or a modern kitchen, it's likely time for an upgrade. Many older Valley homes have panels not designed for today's electrical loads. FAM Electric can perform a detailed inspection of your panel and overall system. We'll advise if an upgrade is necessary and handle the full installation of a new, higher-capacity electric panel. This ensures safe, reliable power for all your current and future needs.

Yes, we do. Installing a home EV charging station is a popular service we provide for San Fernando Valley residents. Our process includes assessing your home's electrical capacity to ensure it can support the charger, which may involve a panel upgrade if needed. We then handle the professional installation of a dedicated circuit and the charging unit itself, ensuring it meets all local codes for safety and performance. This service adds significant convenience and value to your property.
