Lite Handyman Services - Los Angeles's Experienced Electrical Services

Absolutely. This is a common issue in Los Angeles as older panels weren't designed for the high, sustained load of an EV charger. We can perform an electrical inspection to assess your system's capacity and recommend a solution, which often involves a dedicated circuit breaker installation or a full panel upgrade to safely support your new charger and prevent overloads.

Frequent breaker trips, flickering lights when using major appliances, a burning smell from outlets, or an inability to add new circuits (like for an EV charger or modern kitchen) are key indicators. Many LA homes have 100-amp panels that are insufficient for today's demands. We offer expert panel assessments, repairs, and upgrades to 200-amp service, ensuring your system meets current safety codes and can handle modern electrical loads.

This often points to underlying wiring issues, which are common in older LA homes where existing wiring may be damaged, corroded, or not up to current code. Our electricians specialize in wire repair and installation to diagnose the root cause. We'll safely trace the circuit, repair faulty connections, and ensure your new doorbell or light fixture is properly and securely installed on a functioning circuit.
