POWER AND OUTLET UPGRADES


OUTLET INSTALLATION

Use a Licensed Electrician for your New Outlet

Installing a new outlet, whether for an EV charger, an oven, a new light fixture, or just a regular 15A receptacle, can add new function to your home, but also carries significant electrical risks. Improper wiring can lead to problems down the road, insufficient ampacity on the circuit can lead to nuisance trips of your breaker and even fires, and equipment mismatches can also have red hot outcomes. Of all the devices I've done troubleshooting and repair on, receptacles have been by far the most common source of problems for homeowners, and the most common source of minor fire damage (often just soot and a burnt receptacle).

There are many common errors I have come across when inspecting and repairing other, less qualified people's work, and many have not been code-legal installations. There are a lot of misconceptions about how to tie in an outlet to the house wiring and which exact outlet to use. Nevermind expecting a handyman off Angie's List or Craigslist to perform a required load calculation for a new circuit or extension, or to even know what that is.

Hire David's to give you peace of mind and a properly installed new receptacle.

PANEL UPGRADE

Upgrade your Electrical Panel

Upgrade your home's electrical system with a new panel. Old panels can be undersized for newer additions, EV chargers, and other electrical upgrades. Old panels can also have bad corrosion from water infiltration, or poorly installed aluminum conductors. These corroded contacts can be a fire hazard. Old circuit breakers can also fail (as in, fail to trip) when overloaded after a few decades of use.

SUBPANEL ADDITION

Add a New Subpanel

Need more capacity, but don't want to upgrade your main panel, or do you need additional capacity in just one location? Add a subpanel to support that location. Subpanels can be a great alternative to whole-house upgrades, for a cheaper price.
