L&L Electric: Expert Electrical Company Serving San Francisco 94124

In many older San Francisco homes, a frequently tripping breaker is a classic sign of an overloaded electrical panel. These systems were often designed for fewer modern appliances and can't safely handle today's electrical demands, like multiple high-draw devices running simultaneously. At L&L Electric, we start with a thorough inspection to diagnose the specific cause. Our solution typically involves a service upgrade or panel replacement, which increases your home's capacity and safety. This not only stops the nuisance tripping but also brings your system up to current code, protecting your home from potential fire hazards.

Installing an electric vehicle charging station is a project we handle regularly. The process starts with an assessment of your home's existing electrical service and panel to ensure it can support the added load. For many homes, this may require a panel upgrade—a specialty of ours since 1982. We then determine the optimal, code-compliant location for the charger and run the proper dedicated circuit. Our team handles everything from permits to the final connection, ensuring a safe, efficient, and reliable installation so you can charge your vehicle with confidence.

A complete rewiring is a major project we've performed for decades on San Francisco's historic homes. It involves removing old, unsafe wiring (like knob-and-tube) and installing a brand new, modern electrical system throughout the property. This includes new wiring, a new main service panel, updated outlets, switches, and grounding for all circuits. We also address any existing code violations. While it's a significant undertaking, it's the most effective way to ensure your home's electrical system is safe, can handle modern appliances, and is fully insured. We manage the project from start to finish with minimal disruption.
