J&J Electric - Santa Rosa's Professional Electricians

Absolutely. This is a common concern in our area with older homes. We start with a thorough inspection of your existing electrical panel and home's capacity. We can then recommend and perform the necessary upgrade, whether it's a panel replacement or installing a dedicated circuit, to ensure your new charger operates safely without tripping breakers or risking an overload. We handle all permits and ensure full code compliance for Sonoma County.

An upgrade involves replacing your home's main electrical panel and often the meter base. Many older Santa Rosa homes have 100-amp panels that are insufficient for modern demands like multiple appliances, home offices, and EV chargers, leading to frequent breaker trips. Our process includes a full assessment, securing permits, a safe swap to a higher-capacity panel (like 200-amp), and thorough testing. This enhances safety, prevents overloads, and provides the capacity for future home additions.

Yes, we provide comprehensive electrical inspections for real estate transactions. Our inspection covers the service panel, wiring, outlets, grounding, and smoke detectors, checking for safety hazards, code violations, and the overall system's condition. We provide a clear, detailed report that can be used for negotiation or to ensure a home is safe and up to current standards, giving both buyers and sellers in our community valuable peace of mind.
