RPG Electric: Certified Electrical Repair Serving San Jose 95148

We focus on preventative safety and preparedness. Our electricians can perform a comprehensive electrical inspection to identify any vulnerabilities in your system. Key services include ensuring your circuit breaker panel is functioning correctly to prevent overloads, installing whole-house surge protection to guard against power surges when electricity is restored, and verifying that critical wiring is up to code and safe. This proactive approach helps protect your home and appliances during PSPS events and the subsequent power restoration.

Many older homes in San Jose have 100-amp panels that weren't designed for today's simultaneous high-load usage, like EV charging, multiple AC units, and smart home systems. An outdated panel can trip frequently, pose a fire hazard, and limit your ability to add new appliances. RPG Electric specializes in electric panel installation and upgrades to 200-amp or higher service. This increases your home's capacity, improves safety by meeting current codes, and provides the necessary power for modern living without constant breaker trips.

This is a common scenario that often requires a multi-step approach. First, an electrical inspection will assess if your current panel has the capacity. Most EV chargers and modern appliances require dedicated circuits, so we'll handle the necessary circuit breaker installation and wire installation from the panel. If your panel is at capacity, an upgrade will be recommended. We then expertly install the EV charging station and any required 240-volt outlets, ensuring everything is permitted, up to code, and integrated safely into your home's electrical system.
