Question Answers
My AFCI breaker keeps tripping in my Santa Rosa home. What's the most likely cause and how can Franco Electric help?
Frequent AFCI trips in older Santa Rosa homes are often caused by aging wiring, worn connections, or appliances on shared circuits. Our electricians perform a detailed diagnostic inspection to locate the source of the arc fault. We can repair damaged wires, replace faulty outlets, or recommend an electrical panel upgrade to safely handle your home's modern load, preventing nuisance trips and improving safety.
I want to add solar panels to my older home, but I'm concerned about my old electrical panel. What should I do first?
That's a smart concern. Adding solar to an older home in Santa Rosa often requires an electrical panel upgrade or repair to safely handle the new system. Franco Electric provides a comprehensive inspection and can perform any necessary panel repair, replacement, or circuit breaker installation. We ensure your home's infrastructure is robust and code-compliant before your new solar panels are installed, creating a safe and efficient energy solution.
Can you install an EV charger if I have an older electrical service panel?
Absolutely. Many older Santa Rosa homes need an electrical panel upgrade or a dedicated circuit installation to support an EV charging station safely. We'll assess your current panel's capacity and wiring. If an upgrade is needed, we handle everything from the new circuit breaker installation to the final charger setup, ensuring your home is ready for electric vehicle charging without overloading your system.
