Expert Electrical Contractor in Lake Elsinore, CA 92530 - Westek electric

In older Lake Elsinore homes, aluminum wiring can pose a fire hazard. Warning signs include flickering lights, warm or discolored outlets/switch plates, a burning plastic smell, or frequent circuit breaker trips. Westek Electric can perform a thorough inspection to identify aluminum wiring. We offer safe, effective solutions, which may include installing specialized connectors (Al/Cu rated) at all connections or recommending a partial or complete rewiring with modern copper wire to permanently eliminate the risk and bring your home's electrical system up to current safety standards.

Power surges, whether from lightning storms or grid fluctuations, can silently damage expensive electronics like computers, TVs, and appliances. Installing a whole-house surge protector at your main electrical panel is the most effective defense. This device absorbs excess voltage before it reaches your home's circuits. As part of our panel services, Westek Electric can install this added layer of protection, safeguarding your investment in electronics and providing greater peace of mind for your Lake Elsinore household.

Installing a home EV charging station starts with a site assessment by our licensed electricians. We check your home's electrical panel capacity to ensure it can handle the added load, which is often 240 volts. For many homes, this requires a panel upgrade or the installation of a new dedicated circuit. We handle all necessary permits, run the proper wiring (often in conduit for safety), and install a weatherproof outdoor-rated station. Our goal is to provide a safe, code-compliant, and convenient charging solution that integrates seamlessly with your home's electrical system.
