Howells Electric - La Quinta's Qualified Electrical Contractor

Arc fault (AFCI) breaker trips are a common issue in our area, often caused by heat-sensitive wiring in attics or connections made with older devices. Our team at Howells Electric is experienced in diagnosing these faults. We systematically trace the circuit to locate the source of the arc, whether it's a worn outlet, a wiring splice, or a fixture. We then provide a clear repair plan to resolve the nuisance trips and ensure your home's electrical safety, bringing peace of mind.

Yes, we specialize in EV charging station installation for La Quinta residents. The process starts with an assessment of your home's electrical panel to ensure it can handle the added load. We then discuss optimal location and charger type. Our installation includes running dedicated circuits, mounting the unit, and ensuring it's properly permitted and inspected. As a full-service electrical contractor, we handle everything from the panel upgrade, if needed, to the final connection, making the switch to electric driving seamless.

Many older La Quinta homes have panels that can't support modern electrical demands from appliances, pools, or solar systems. An upgrade increases your home's capacity and safety, reducing the risk of overloads. It also prepares your system for future additions like a generator or EV charger. We provide a straightforward evaluation of your current panel and usage, explaining the benefits of a new panel, such as improved reliability and meeting current safety codes, with a fair and upfront estimate.
