Reyes Electric | Qualified Electrical Contractor in Austin, TX

This is a common issue in Austin homes. An EV charger adds a significant, continuous load to your electrical system. If your existing panel or wiring isn't rated for it, the breaker trips to prevent overheating and fire. Reyes Electric can perform an electrical inspection, upgrade your panel if necessary, and install a dedicated circuit for your charger, ensuring safe, reliable operation without nuisance tripping.

Absolutely. Correcting improper DIY work is a key service we provide for Austin homeowners. Our licensed electricians will conduct a thorough inspection to identify any code violations or safety hazards, such as overloaded circuits or faulty connections. We then perform the necessary repairs or re-installations—whether it's an outlet, light fixture, or wiring—to ensure everything is up to National Electrical Code standards and your home is safe.

For older homes, an inspection is crucial before adding high-demand appliances like EV chargers or modern kitchens. Our inspection assesses the capacity and condition of your main electric panel, circuit breakers, wiring, and grounding system. We check for signs of wear, insufficient capacity, and outdated components. Based on the findings, we might recommend a panel upgrade or new dedicated circuits to safely support your new installation, preventing overloads and ensuring long-term reliability.
