Panther Electric - Tacoma's Local Electrical Services

This is a common problem in our area and often points to two local issues. First, heavy rains can lead to moisture intrusion in outdoor fixtures or panels, causing short circuits. Second, many older Tacoma homes have panels that are overloaded due to modern energy demands. Panther Electric can diagnose the specific cause, whether it's a moisture-related repair, an aging panel needing an upgrade, or installing additional circuits to safely handle your home's electrical load.

Installing an EV charger is more than just mounting a unit on the wall. Our process starts with a thorough inspection of your home's existing electrical panel to ensure it can support the added load. For many homes in Tacoma, this may require a panel upgrade or a dedicated circuit. We then handle all the necessary permits, run the proper gauge wiring, install a weather-resistant outdoor unit if needed, and perform final testing. We ensure your new charger is installed safely and efficiently, ready for reliable daily use.

Upgrading your electrical panel is a critical safety and capacity improvement. If you're adding major appliances, an EV charger, or a home addition, your current panel may be overloaded, which is a fire hazard. Older panels may also lack modern safety features like AFCI breakers. At Panther Electric, we assess your home's current and future power needs. A new panel provides safer operation, meets modern electrical codes, and gives you the capacity for today's—and tomorrow's—electrical demands.
