Mtn Sun Electric - Truckee's Expert Electrical Contractor

Arc fault breaker trips are a common issue in our area, often caused by the sensitive nature of these safety devices reacting to older wiring, shared circuits with appliances like vacuums, or even minor damage from rodents in attics or crawlspaces. As your local electrician with 16 years of experience, we systematically diagnose the source—checking for wiring faults, overloaded circuits, or incompatible devices—to provide a lasting fix that ensures your home's safety meets current electrical codes.

Absolutely. We specialize in service panel upgrades, which are frequently needed for remodels and adding capacity for modern appliances or electric vehicle chargers. Our process includes evaluating your current electrical service, obtaining any necessary permits from local authorities, and installing a new panel that not only meets your increased power demands but also incorporates the latest safety standards for our region, including arc fault and GFCI protection where required.

Installing a Tesla Wall Connector involves assessing your home's existing electrical capacity, often at the main service panel, to ensure it can support the added load. We then run the proper gauge wiring from the panel to your desired location, install a dedicated circuit, and mount the charger itself. Given our extensive experience with these installations in the Sierra Nevada, we also ensure the setup is optimized for performance in colder temperatures and complies with all local building codes.
