Common Questions
Why is my GFCI outlet in the kitchen or bathroom constantly tripping, and can you fix it?
Frequently tripping GFCI outlets are a common issue in Simi Valley homes, often caused by moisture, a faulty appliance, or worn-out wiring within the outlet itself. Our team specializes in electrical troubleshooting and repair. We'll safely diagnose the root cause—whether it's a simple outlet replacement, a wiring fault, or an issue with a downstream circuit—and provide a lasting repair to restore safe, reliable power to your home.
We're considering adding solar. Can you help with the electrical connections and inverter wiring?
Absolutely. With our extensive background in complex commercial installations and residential service, we are well-equipped to handle the critical electrical integration for solar systems. We ensure your inverter is properly wired and connected to your main service panel, addressing any necessary code corrections or panel upgrades to support the new load.

My home's circuit breaker panel is old and full. What does a service panel upgrade involve?
A service panel upgrade is a significant safety and capacity improvement. It involves replacing your existing panel with a new, higher-capacity unit that meets current electrical codes. Our process includes securing the necessary permits, safely disconnecting and transferring all circuits, and testing the new system.
