FMG-Electric - East Palo Alto's Local Electrical Contractor

Absolutely. Flickering lights are a common sign of an overloaded circuit, which happens when an EV charger draws more power than your existing panel can safely handle. Our electricians will perform a thorough inspection of your panel and household load. We often recommend and install a dedicated, upgraded circuit or a new sub-panel specifically for your charger, ensuring safe, reliable charging without disrupting your home's other electrical systems.

Rodent damage is a serious fire hazard and is unfortunately common in our area. The first step is to turn off power to the affected area if it's safe to do so. Do not attempt to repair chewed wires yourself. Call FMG-Electric for a professional inspection. We will locate all damaged wires, safely repair or replace them with rodent-resistant materials where possible, and can advise on sealing entry points to prevent future problems.

Not necessarily, but your electrical panel needs expert evaluation. Frequent tripping indicates your system is overloaded. Our electricians will assess your current panel's capacity and your home's total electrical demand. Often, the solution is installing a dedicated circuit for the EV charger, which may or may not require a full panel upgrade. We provide clear, honest recommendations to resolve the overload safely and cost-effectively, ensuring compliance with all local codes.
