Common Questions

My arc fault breaker in my Truckee home keeps tripping. What's the first thing I should check, and when should I call a professional?

First, try unplugging devices on that circuit one by one to see if a specific appliance is causing the trip. In older Truckee homes, these trips can often be triggered by aging appliances or wiring. If the problem persists or happens frequently, it's time to call us. Constant tripping can indicate a more serious issue, like a loose connection or damaged wire within the walls, which we can diagnose and repair safely to prevent a potential fire hazard.

I'm experiencing flickering lights, especially during windy weather. Could this be related to my electrical panel?

Absolutely. In our area, flickering lights are frequently a sign of loose connections, either at the light fixture itself, in the switch, or—more critically—within your home's main electrical panel. These connections can loosen over time due to temperature swings and vibration. Our team can perform a thorough electrical inspection, tighten all connections at the panel and fixtures, and recommend a panel repair or upgrade if we find signs of overheating or corrosion, ensuring stable power for your home.

I want to install an EV charging station at my Truckee cabin. Does my older electrical panel need an upgrade first?

It's very likely. Many homes in Truckee have older electrical panels that may not have the spare capacity for a high-demand EV charger. Our electricians will first assess your panel's age, condition, and available amperage. We often recommend upgrading to a modern, higher-capacity panel not just for the charger, but to improve overall home safety and handle future electrical needs. This upgrade also helps prevent issues like flickering lights by providing robust, clean power to all your circuits.
