FAQs
My lights in Gilroy flicker occasionally. What's the most likely cause, and how can Townsend Electric fix it?
Flickering lights in older Gilroy homes are often due to loose connections at outlets, switches, or within the main panel—a common fire hazard. Townsend Electric starts with a thorough safety inspection to pinpoint the exact source. Our repair involves tightening all connections, replacing any worn components, and ensuring your wiring is secure, restoring stable power and peace of mind.
I'm installing an EV charger at home. Can my existing electrical panel in Gilroy handle the load?
Many older panels in Gilroy weren't designed for the high, sustained demand of an EV charger, risking overloads and tripped breakers. Townsend Electric performs a load calculation to assess your panel's capacity. We often upgrade panels or install a dedicated circuit to safely support your new charger, ensuring reliable, code-compliant operation without disrupting your home's other power needs.
Why should I consider a generator installation with a Gilroy electrician like Townsend?
With local power reliability concerns, a professionally installed generator by Townsend Electric ensures your Gilroy home stays safe and comfortable during outages. We handle the entire process—from selecting the right unit and securing permits to wiring a transfer switch and connecting it to your panel. This guarantees safe, automatic operation that protects your home's electrical system and major appliances.
