FAQs
Why does my EV charger keep tripping my home's breaker in San Diego?
This is a common issue in older San Diego homes where the existing electrical panel wasn't designed for the high, sustained load of an EV charger. An overloaded circuit is a fire hazard. O'Coyne Electric can perform a thorough electrical inspection and safely upgrade your panel or install a dedicated circuit to handle your charger, ensuring safe and reliable charging.
Can you connect my backup generator to my home's electrical panel safely?
Absolutely. Improper generator connections are dangerous and can damage your home's wiring or even back-feed into utility lines, posing a risk to repair crews. Our licensed electricians install code-compliant transfer switches that safely isolate your home from the grid and connect your generator, providing peace of mind during a San Diego power outage.
I'm adding an EV charger and a generator. Do I need an electrical panel upgrade?
Very likely, yes. Both systems place significant demand on your panel. We recommend a full electrical inspection first. O'Coyne Electric will assess your current capacity and load calculations. We often upgrade San Diego homes to 200-amp service or install a sub-panel to safely accommodate these modern power needs without overloading your system.
