R M Bennett Electric - Riverside's Trusted Electrical Company

Yes, frequent breaker trips are a common call we receive from Riverside residents. Older homes, combined with increased modern electrical loads, can overload panels not designed for today's usage. It can also indicate a more serious issue like a faulty breaker or wiring problem. Our licensed electricians can diagnose the root cause, whether it's a simple repair, a panel upgrade, or addressing specific local factors like damaged wiring, and provide a safe, lasting solution.

Installing an EV charger typically starts with our electric inspection to assess your home's electrical capacity. Many installations require a dedicated 240-volt circuit and may involve an electric panel upgrade or service increase to handle the new load safely. As a licensed provider, we handle the entire process—from permitting and running the proper wire installation to mounting the station and final testing—ensuring your charger is installed correctly and up to all local Riverside and national electrical codes.

An electrical panel upgrade is often necessary for safety and functionality. If you're adding major appliances, undertaking a remodel, or have an older home in Riverside, your current panel may not have the capacity, leading to tripped breakers or potential fire hazards. Upgrading your panel provides more circuits for modern electrical demands, improves home safety with updated components, and is a prerequisite for adding features like EV chargers or 220-volt outlets for dryers and ranges.
