Questions and Answers
Why does my arc fault breaker keep tripping in my Las Vegas home, and can you fix it?
Arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) are sensitive safety devices required in newer homes that can trip due to faulty wiring, damaged cords, or even appliances like vacuums. The dry Las Vegas climate can also contribute to wiring issues over time. We diagnose the specific cause—whether it's in the wiring, an outlet, or an appliance—and perform the necessary repair or replacement to restore safe, reliable power to your circuits, ensuring your home meets current electrical codes.
What's involved in an electrical panel upgrade for my older Las Vegas home?
An electrical panel upgrade, or heavy-up, involves replacing your existing service panel and meter base to increase your home's electrical capacity. This is common in older Las Vegas homes that may have 60 or 100-amp service, which isn't sufficient for modern appliances and air conditioning. Our process includes a full inspection, obtaining necessary permits, safely installing a new panel (often 200-amp), and ensuring all connections meet current safety standards. This upgrade supports added circuits, improves safety, and prevents overloads.
Can you install a backup generator for my Las Vegas home?
Yes, we provide full home generator installation services. We'll assess your home's electrical load to recommend the right size generator, handle all permitting, and perform a professional installation that includes connecting the generator to your electrical panel via a transfer switch. This ensures your essential systems like refrigeration, HVAC, and lighting have power during a Las Vegas outage. We also offer ongoing maintenance and repair services to keep your generator ready for our desert climate.
