Electrical Services Petaluma CA | Call Hannes Ots

Absolutely. While the root cause is electrical, the solution often requires carpentry. An EV charger typically needs a dedicated circuit, which involves running new wiring through walls, floors, or ceilings. Our team at Hannes Ots first performs an electrical inspection to determine the correct circuit load and pathway. Then, our skilled carpenters carefully open and repair drywall or framing to run the new conduit neatly and safely, ensuring a clean, professional installation that meets all local codes for your Petaluma home.

In Petaluma's older homes, arc fault breaker trips are common due to aged wiring or appliances. Our inspection starts by mapping your home's circuits to identify the problem area. We then test the wiring for faults, loose connections, or compatibility issues with modern AFCI breakers. We'll check if the issue is with a specific appliance or a section of wiring. The goal is to pinpoint whether the fix requires simple troubleshooting, a wiring update, or a dedicated circuit—saving you from repeated trips and ensuring your home's electrical system is safe and stable.

Installing a new circuit is a two-part job. The electrician handles the technical work: calculating load, installing the breaker, and running the wire to a general location. However, to hide wires safely inside walls for a finished look—a common request in Petaluma homes—carpentry is essential. Our carpenters create precise access points, drill through studs, and perform the drywall repair and patching after the wire is pulled. Having both skills in one team, like at Hannes Ots, ensures the job is done efficiently, neatly, and to code, with minimal disruption to your home.
