Lumos electric - Pflugerville's Qualified Electrical Contractor

An overheated outlet often signals an overloaded circuit or an outdated electrical panel that can't handle the high, continuous draw of an EV charger. This is a serious fire hazard in Pflugerville homes. Lumos Electric can perform a thorough electrical inspection, upgrade your circuit breaker, and if needed, install a new dedicated circuit and outlet specifically rated for your EV charger to ensure safe, reliable charging.

Many older homes in Pflugerville have panels that are already near capacity. Adding a high-demand appliance like an EV charger requires a professional assessment. We'll inspect your current electric panel and load capacity. If an upgrade is needed, we can safely install a new panel with ample space for your charger and future electrical needs, preventing overloads and ensuring your system is safe and compliant.

Frequent tripping is your breaker's safety mechanism preventing overloaded wires from overheating—a common issue with added loads like EV chargers or generators. Don't just reset it. Lumos Electric can diagnose the root cause, which may involve repairing or upgrading your circuit breaker, installing new dedicated circuits for high-power appliances, or addressing faulty wiring to restore safe, uninterrupted power to your Pflugerville home.
