Johnny’s Electric - Santa Maria's Experienced Electrical Services

Common signs your panel may need an upgrade include frequent tripping of circuit breakers, using multiple power strips because you don't have enough outlets, or planning to add major appliances like an air conditioner or EV charger. Many older homes in our area have panels not designed for today's electrical loads. We can perform a thorough inspection to assess your panel's capacity and safety.

Yes. Rodents in the Santa Maria area often chew on wiring insulation inside walls and attics, which can create fire hazards and cause intermittent outages across multiple circuits. It's not just a single repair; damaged sections need to be located and replaced. Our electricians are experienced in diagnosing and repairing rodent-damaged wiring to restore full safety and function to your home's electrical system.

Installing an EV charger typically requires a dedicated circuit from your main electrical panel. For many Santa Maria homes, this first involves ensuring your existing panel has the capacity, which may include an upgrade or a sub-panel installation. Our team handles the entire process—from the initial load calculation and permitting to running the proper wire and installing the charging unit—ensuring a safe, code-compliant setup for your vehicle.
