Question Answers
Why is an electrical inspection important before installing an EV charger in my Fort Collins home?
Many older Fort Collins homes have electrical systems not originally designed for the high, continuous load of an EV charger. An inspection by Jon-Wayne Electric identifies if your panel and wiring can handle the new circuit safely, preventing dangerous overloads, tripped breakers, and potential fire hazards, ensuring a compliant and reliable installation.
My GFCI outlet in the garage keeps tripping. Is this related to my EV charger or another issue?
It could be related. A faulty GFCI or one on an overloaded circuit is a common local issue. Our electricians will test the outlet and the circuit it's on. We determine if the nuisance tripping is due to a worn outlet, moisture (common in garages), or if the EV charger circuit is drawing too much power from a shared line, and then provide the correct fix.
What does a standard electrical inspection cover regarding GFCI outlets and circuit capacity?
Our comprehensive inspection for Fort Collins homes includes testing all GFCI outlets for proper function and trip time—critical for safety in wet areas—and evaluating the load on your circuits. We specifically check for signs of overload, which is often the root cause of both faulty GFCIs and EV charger problems, giving you a clear picture of your home's electrical health.
