Frequently Asked Questions
I'm considering an EV charging station for my San Francisco home. What should I know?
Installing an EV charging station is a smart upgrade for many San Franciscans. At McMillan Electric, we assess your home's electrical panel capacity and wiring to ensure a safe, code-compliant installation. Our experience, including work on California's first LEED Platinum project, means we can integrate new technology seamlessly with your existing system. We'll handle the entire process, from permitting to final connection, for a reliable setup.
My circuit breaker keeps tripping. Is this a serious issue?
Frequent tripping is a sign your electrical system is overloaded or has a fault, which is a safety concern. Our electricians can diagnose the root cause, whether it's a faulty breaker, outdated wiring common in older San Francisco homes, or simply increased demand on the circuit. We provide precise repair or installation services to restore safe, consistent power to your home.
My GFCI outlet in the bathroom or kitchen isn't working. Is this a common problem in SF?
Yes, GFCI outlet failure is a frequent issue in San Francisco, often due to the humid environment or wear from age. More importantly, a non-functioning GFCI removes a critical layer of shock protection. We strongly advise against DIY fixes for safety reasons. Our technicians can quickly diagnose the problem, whether it's the outlet itself or a wiring issue, and perform a safe repair or replacement to protect your household.
