Question Answers
My home's electrical meter feels hot to the touch. Is this a common issue in Albany, and what should I do?
Yes, an overheating electrical meter is a serious safety concern we see in many Albany homes, often due to increased modern energy demands or aging infrastructure. This indicates your system is overloaded and poses a fire risk. Do not ignore it. Keep It Powered Electric can perform a thorough inspection to diagnose the cause, which frequently leads to a necessary panel upgrade or service repair to safely handle your home's electrical load.
Can you install an EV charging station at my Albany home, and what does that involve?
Absolutely. We regularly install EV charging stations for Albany residents. The process starts with an inspection of your electrical panel to ensure it can support the added load—a crucial step, as many older Albany homes need an upgrade. We then handle the proper circuit installation, mounting, and setup, ensuring everything is permitted and meets all local codes. Our goal is to provide a seamless, safe installation so you can charge your vehicle conveniently at home.
