General Lighting & Electrical Services | Reliable Electrical Contractor in Santa Fe Springs, CA

This is a common issue in our area, often caused by an existing electrical panel being overloaded by the new charger's demand. At General Lighting, we start with a thorough inspection of your panel and home's electrical load. We can then provide solutions, which may include installing a dedicated circuit for your charger or performing a panel upgrade to safely handle the increased capacity, ensuring reliable charging without disrupting your home's power.

An electrical panel upgrade involves replacing your home's main service panel and circuit breakers. Older homes in our community often have panels that can't safely support modern electrical demands from multiple appliances, computers, and EV chargers. Our process includes a full assessment, obtaining any necessary permits from the city, and a professional installation. This upgrade enhances safety, prevents frequent breaker trips, and provides the capacity for future home improvements.

Absolutely. We handle both the repair of existing outdoor fixtures and the installation of new exterior lighting systems. For repairs, we diagnose issues like faulty wiring, damaged sockets, or moisture problems. For new installations, we help you choose durable, weather-appropriate fixtures and ensure they are wired correctly on a proper circuit, often a GFCI for safety. This improves your home's security, curb appeal, and functionality after dark.
