FAQs
My breaker keeps tripping in my older San Diego home. What's usually the cause and how do you fix it?
In many San Diego homes, especially older ones, a frequently tripping breaker is often a sign of an overloaded panel or outdated wiring that can't handle modern electrical demands, like multiple high-power appliances. At Sturgis Electric, we start with a thorough inspection to pinpoint the issue. Our solution typically involves upgrading your electrical panel to a higher capacity and ensuring all circuits are properly balanced. This not only stops the nuisance trips but also enhances the safety and capacity of your home's entire electrical system, preventing potential fire hazards from overloaded wires.
I'm considering an electric vehicle. What does installing a home charging station involve?
Installing a home EV charging station involves assessing your home's current electrical capacity to ensure it can support the added load. We check your main service panel and may recommend an upgrade if needed. The installation includes running a dedicated circuit from the panel to your desired location, mounting the charging unit, and performing all necessary safety checks and permits. With our background in both residential electrical work and project consulting, we ensure the installation is not only code-compliant but also positioned for convenience and future needs, providing a reliable and efficient way to power your vehicle.
What's included in your electrical inspection service?
Our electrical inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of your home or business's wiring, panels, outlets, and overall system safety. We check for code violations, outdated components like aluminum wiring, improper grounding, overloaded circuits, and any signs of wear or damage that could pose a risk. For homeowners, this is especially valuable before a major renovation or purchase. We provide a detailed report of our findings with clear, prioritized recommendations for any repairs or upgrades needed to ensure your system is safe, efficient, and up to current standards.
