Good to know

Electrician questions, answered

Do I need a panel upgrade?

If you have a 100-amp panel, fuses, a known recalled brand, or you are adding an EV charger, a hot tub or a big HVAC unit, an electrician should evaluate it.

Why do my breakers keep tripping?

Usually an overloaded circuit, a failing appliance or a short. A breaker that trips repeatedly should be diagnosed, not reset over and over.

Can an electrician install an EV charger in a day?

Most Level 2 chargers are installed in a few hours if the panel has capacity. Long runs or a panel upgrade take longer.
