Questions and Answers
My lights in my Vacaville home are flickering. What could be the cause and how do you fix it?
Flickering lights in older Vacaville homes are often due to loose connections in outlets, switches, or within the electrical panel itself. These connections can degrade over time, creating a fire hazard. At RL Electric, we start with a thorough safety inspection to locate the source. Our licensed electricians, with over 20 years of local experience, will tighten connections, replace faulty components, and ensure your system is stable and up to current NEC code, providing a safe and permanent fix.
Do you handle electric vehicle charging station installation for residential homes?
Yes, we specialize in EV charging station installation for Vacaville homeowners. As a licensed electrical contractor, we assess your home's electrical panel capacity to ensure it can support the new load safely. We handle everything from permitting and running the proper conduit to installing a dedicated circuit and the charging unit itself. Our work is performed by certified electricians, ensuring your installation is not only convenient but also fully compliant with all safety codes.
What's involved in an electrical panel upgrade, and why might my Vacaville home need one?
An electrical panel upgrade replaces your home's main service panel and breakers. Many Vacaville homes have older panels that can't safely handle modern demands from appliances, HVAC systems, or EV chargers, leading to frequent breaker trips. Our process includes a full load calculation, obtaining necessary permits, and installing a new, higher-capacity panel with AFCI/GFCI protection as required. With a proprietor who is also an OSHA instructor, we prioritize safety, ensuring the upgrade meets all current codes for reliable power for years to come.
