Do you know if your home
is electrically safe?

Can you tell me, based on the size of my panel, if a 60A car charger will work?

As a rule of thumb, you will need to have a 200A service/panel. Our electrical solutions team will be able to conduct the necessary calculations to ensure your charger will work with your existing service. Click Here to find out more about EV chargers.

I keep having to reset my breaker in the panel. Is that ok?

If a breaker is frequently tripping, it means that it is doing its job by protecting something from a dangerous overload or it is worn out. If you have a breaker that is constantly tripping, leave it off and contact us immediately to have a technician assess and provide a solution for the issue.

I have an outlet that got burnt from an old vacuum cleaner but we don’t use that one anymore, we use the next one down the line so...that’s ok right?

Even if the plug is not in use, energy will still pass through its wires as the circuit get used. Stop using the plugs in that general area right away and call us immediately to have a technician assess why the plug failed and provide a solution to keep you safe.

Does the same electrician who completed my inspection come back to work on the repairs?
