Certified Electrical Company in Inglewood, CA 90302 - MDL Electric

Frequent tripping of an arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) is a common safety concern in older Inglewood homes. It often indicates a potential fire hazard, like a wiring fault or a damaged appliance. For your safety, do not simply reset it repeatedly. MDL Electric's licensed electricians can perform a thorough inspection to diagnose the root cause—whether it's in the breaker itself, your wiring, or a specific circuit—and perform the necessary circuit breaker repair or panel upgrade to restore safe, reliable power.

Many homes in Inglewood have older electrical panels not designed for the high, sustained load of an electric vehicle charger, which can lead to overloads and tripped breakers. Before your EV charging station installation, our experts at MDL Electric will assess your panel's capacity. We often recommend a panel upgrade or a dedicated circuit installation to ensure your charger operates safely and efficiently without disrupting power to the rest of your home. This proactive step prevents future electrical issues.

Key signs include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, a burning smell from the panel, or an inability to add new circuits (like for an EV charger or generator). Older panels may also lack the safety features of modern models. MDL Electric provides comprehensive electric panel inspections to evaluate your system's health. Based on our findings, we can perform precise repairs or recommend a full panel installation, ensuring your home meets current electrical codes and can safely power all your modern appliances and devices.
