Q&A

My older Los Angeles home keeps tripping breakers since I got an electric car. Can you help?

Absolutely. This is a common issue in LA's historic neighborhoods where original electrical panels weren't designed for high-demand modern appliances like EV chargers. We can perform an electrical inspection to assess your panel's capacity and safely install a dedicated 240-volt circuit for your charging station, often involving an electric panel upgrade or repair to prevent overloads and ensure your home's safety.

What's involved in upgrading an old electrical panel in my LA home?

Upgrading an aging panel is crucial for safety and functionality. We start with a thorough inspection of your existing wiring and service entry. The process typically involves installing a new, higher-amperage panel with modern circuit breakers, ensuring all connections meet current Los Angeles building codes. This upgrade not only prevents frequent trips but also provides the capacity for added circuits, whether for an EV charger, new kitchen appliances, or additional outlets.

Do you handle both the electrical and plumbing work for a bathroom remodel in older homes?

Yes, we offer full-service capabilities. For a bathroom remodel in an older LA home, our team can manage all aspects—from carpentry and installing new showers or bathtubs to updating the plumbing with new pipes, drains, and fixtures, and ensuring the electrical work for lighting, outlets, and exhaust fans is up to code. This integrated approach saves you time and coordinates the critical systems behind your walls, addressing common issues like outdated galvanized pipes and insufficient electrical circuits in one project.
