Magnet Electric can perform a thorough electrical inspection to assess the condition of your wiring. We often recommend and perform safe remediation, which can include installing special connectors (Al/Cu rated) at outlets and switches or, in some cases, a complete rewiring with modern copper wire to ensure your home's electrical system is safe and reliable.

Congratulations on the new EV! Installing a home charging station requires ensuring your electrical panel can handle the added load, especially in older Camarillo homes. Our process starts with an inspection of your current panel and service. We'll check for capacity and recommend any necessary upgrades, such as a panel replacement or adding a dedicated circuit. We then handle the full installation of a Level 2 charging station, ensuring it's permitted, up to code, and positioned conveniently for your daily use.

A frequently tripping breaker is often a symptom, not the problem itself. It's a safety device indicating an overloaded circuit or a potential fault. Simply replacing it without diagnosis could be unsafe. We recommend starting with an electrical inspection. Our electricians will trace the circuit, check for faulty appliances, overloaded outlets, or damaged wiring. The solution might be as simple as redistributing your electrical load, or it could involve repairing a short or upgrading the circuit wiring. We'll find the root cause and provide a lasting fix.
