Questions and Answers
My circuit breaker keeps tripping in my older San Lorenzo home. What could be the issue?
This is a common issue in our area, often related to outdated electrical panels or the required Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCIs) in modern codes. An overloaded panel from newer appliances or a sensitive AFCI detecting a potential arc can cause trips. We can perform a thorough inspection to diagnose the root cause, which may involve checking for improper wiring, evaluating your panel's capacity, and ensuring your system is safely up to current standards for your family's protection.
What's involved in installing new recessed lighting or a ceiling fan?
Installing new fixtures like recessed lights or ceiling fans involves assessing your existing wiring, ensuring proper support in the ceiling, and connecting to a suitable circuit. Our process includes checking the load on the circuit, installing any necessary dimmers or fan controls, and making sure the installation is secure and meets all safety codes. We handle everything from the initial wiring to the final trim and bulb installation, ensuring a clean, professional look and reliable operation.
I'm adding a home office and an electric car charger. Can you help with the new circuits needed?
Absolutely. Adding dedicated circuits is essential for both home office equipment and Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers to ensure safety and prevent overloads. For your office, we'll run a new circuit to handle computers and peripherals without disrupting other home electronics. For the EV charger, we assess your main electrical service's capacity and install a dedicated high-amperage circuit and outlet, often requiring a panel upgrade if your current service is insufficient. We handle the entire process, from permits to final inspection, for a safe and code-compliant installation.
