Lazarit Electric - San Diego's Qualified Electrical Contractor

Yes, we can. Aluminum wiring, common in many San Diego homes built from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s, requires special attention due to its higher risk of overheating at connections. Our electricians are trained in the proper remediation techniques, which can include installing specially designed connectors (called COPALUM or AlumiConn) at all termination points or recommending a partial rewire of critical circuits. We'll assess your specific situation and provide a clear, safe solution to protect your home.

Installing an EV charger starts with a thorough evaluation of your home's electrical capacity, typically at your main panel. We'll check if you have the available space and amperage to support the new circuit, which is often a dedicated 240-volt line. Based on your vehicle's needs and panel condition, we might recommend a panel upgrade or a sub-panel installation. Our process includes running the proper gauge wire, mounting the charging unit in a convenient location, and ensuring the entire installation is permitted and inspected for complete safety and compliance.

Water intrusion in outdoor outlets is a frequent problem in our coastal climate, leading to shorts, GFCI trips, or corrosion. For safety, all outdoor receptacles must be GFCI-protected. Our repair process involves safely disconnecting power, removing the damaged outlet and housing, and checking for any compromised wiring. We then install a new, weatherproof GFCI outlet in an approved outdoor box, ensuring a tight seal against moisture. We can also advise on optimal placement and additional protective measures to prevent future issues.
