Common Questions
My older San Leandro home has GFCI outlets that keep tripping. What should I do?
Frequent tripping in an older home often signals an overloaded circuit, a faulty outlet, or underlying wiring issues from aging infrastructure. Rivas Custom Electric can perform a thorough electrical inspection to diagnose the exact cause. We'll safely repair or replace the problematic GFCI outlets and, if needed, upgrade your electrical panel to handle modern power demands, ensuring your home is safe and up to current code.
I'm concerned about the old wiring in my house. What does an electrical inspection involve?
Our electrical inspection for San Leandro homes is a detailed safety check. We examine your electrical panel for wear, test wiring for deterioration common in older infrastructure, verify grounding, and assess all outlets and fixtures. This proactive service identifies potential hazards—like outdated aluminum wiring or insufficient circuits—before they cause problems. We provide a clear report and recommend necessary repairs or upgrades, such as panel replacement, to bring your system to modern safety standards.
Can you upgrade my electrical panel to support an EV charger and other modern appliances?
Absolutely. Many older San Leandro homes have 100-amp panels that can't handle the added load of an EV charger. Rivas Custom Electric specializes in upgrading electrical panels to 200-amp service, which provides the capacity for your charger, plus kitchen appliances, HVAC, and more. We handle the entire installation—from permit acquisition to panel installation and wiring—ensuring a safe, code-compliant system that powers your home now and into the future.
