  • Do I need a special electrical panel to install a car charger?

    A special electrical panel is not always necessary for installing a car charger. Many residential properties can accommodate a Level 2 charger with their existing setup. However, we will first assess your panel's capacity to ensure it can handle the additional load. If your current panel is at full capacity or undersized, an upgrade may be required to meet safety standards and electrical code regulations.
  • What are inspection repairs?

    Inspection repairs refer to electrical modifications or corrections that are necessary following a home, insurance, or municipal inspection. These repairs address any code violations or safety issues identified during the inspection process, ensuring the electrical system meets required standards.
  • How do I know if my electrical panel needs to be replaced?

    Several indicators suggest an electrical panel may need replacement. These include circuit breakers that trip frequently, lights that flicker unexpectedly, unusual burning odors near the panel, or if you have an older system such as a fuse box or a panel from a brand that has been recalled. If you notice any of these signs, it's advisable to have your panel professionally evaluated.
