Q&A
My home in Claremont has the original aluminum wiring. Is this a safety hazard, and can you help?
Yes, aging aluminum wiring in older Claremont homes can be a fire hazard due to corrosion and loose connections at outlets and switches. Our electrician, with 20 years of local experience, can perform a thorough safety inspection. We offer solutions like installing special CO/ALR-rated devices or, if recommended, performing a partial or complete wiring upgrade to modern copper, ensuring your home's electrical system is safe and up to current code standards.
Do you install Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations for home use?
Absolutely. We specialize in the safe and code-compliant installation of home EV charging stations. A key part of our process is evaluating your existing electrical panel to ensure it can handle the new load without overloading your circuits, a common issue in Claremont homes. We'll handle everything from the dedicated circuit and proper wiring to the final mounting and setup, giving you a reliable and efficient charging solution.
What should I do if my circuit breaker keeps tripping?
Frequent tripping is a sign your circuit is overloaded or there's a fault. For safety, avoid simply resetting it repeatedly. As a full-service electrical contractor, we can diagnose the root cause, whether it's an outdated panel, a faulty breaker, or overloaded circuits from modern appliances. We provide clear repair or upgrade options, from simple breaker replacement to a full panel upgrade, to restore safe and reliable power to your Claremont home.
