Professional Electrical Services in Vacaville, CA 95687 - Smith Electric

This is a common issue in our area, often due to older electrical panels not being rated for the sustained high load of an EV charger, or an existing circuit being overloaded. At Smith Electric, we start with a thorough inspection of your panel and home's wiring capacity. We can often resolve this by installing a dedicated circuit for your charger or, if needed, upgrading your electrical panel to safely handle the demand, preventing nuisance trips and ensuring safe, reliable charging.

Yes, absolutely. Our roots are in solar service, which gives us a distinct advantage. We manage the entire electrical scope of your solar project, from the main service panel upgrades and sub-panel installations to the critical wiring that connects your solar array to your home. This integrated approach, handled by our own licensed electricians, ensures a seamless, code-compliant installation where all electrical components are designed to work together reliably for years to come.

Our standard electrical inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of your home's safety and functionality. We check your main service panel for proper amperage, wear, and correct breaker operation. We test outlets for proper grounding and GFCI protection, especially in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages. We also inspect visible wiring in attics, basements, and crawl spaces for signs of damage or outdated materials that could pose a fire risk, like the short circuits we sometimes find in older attic wiring. You'll receive a detailed report with our findings and any recommended repairs or updates.
