• Breaker Panel Upgrades: Do you have a fuse box or an older electrical panel? Let us upgrade it to a 200-amp panel to increase capacity, energy efficiency, and safety.
• GFCI Outlets: Ground fault circuit interrupters are required in all homes and protect against shock when an electrical source is exposed to moisture or water.
• EV Charger Installation: Our team can hardwire a charging system in your San Fernando home for an electric or hybrid vehicle. Charge it overnight rather than wait at a public charging station.
• Lighting Design/Installation: Our experienced lighting designers and installers can help with kitchen and bathroom lighting, ceiling fans, chandeliers, accent/LED/recessed lighting, and landscape lighting. They also install dimmers, timers, and motion sensors.
• Home Safety Services: If you need someone to install and hardwire a smoke detector or carbon monoxide alarm, we can help. Our electricians also install whole-house surge protection systems and exterior security lighting.

If you don’t have a working carbon monoxide or smoke detector, call our San Fernando electrician for prompt service. We can make sure your alarms work and even replace the batteries for you. An even better alternative is to hardwire them, so you never have to worry about a weak battery ever again. We can also interconnect CO and smoke detectors to further guarantee you and your family are alerted during an emergency.

Concerned about someone lurking in the dark and breaking into your home? Allow us to install security lighting. Our electrical contractors can identify potential hiding places and install/wire floodlights, motion detectors, and photocells. We can also protect you from natural forces. Lightning and other events out of your control can cause tremendous surges; with whole-house surge protection, you need not worry that appliances will suddenly short out, causing a shock or igniting a fire.

A lighting upgrade can improve your home in many ways. Our technicians are accent lighting experts who can figure out the perfect angle and intensity of light to illuminate objects or specific areas. We can also send a licensed electrician to install ceiling fans, chandeliers, recessed lights, LED lights, lighting controls, and timers. Our San Fernando electrical contractors are also equipped and trained to manage lighting requirements for bathrooms and kitchens.

We can install accent and landscape lighting as well to increase curb appeal and make your nights spent outside more enjoyable. Pool lighting can increase fun and safety while swimming, and motion sensors and transformers improve your landscape lighting. Our local electricians can install what you need quickly so you can start enjoying your outdoor space.

Do I Need to Hire an Electrician?

It’s a good idea to hire a licensed electrician for any electrical work. Even the smallest repairs can be dangerous without the right tools and experience. By hiring a professional, you’ll avoid shock, burns, or electrocution and ensure the work is code-compliant.

What If I Don’t Have a GFCI Outlet?

The requirements for GFCI receptacles keep expanding. They’re now required in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, crawlspaces, and any location where an electrical device may be exposed to water. A GFCI is designed to trip if there’s an electrical imbalance, protecting against injury and damage.

Should I Upgrade My Electrical Panel?

Upgrading your breaker panel can expand the range of devices you can install in your San Fernando home. You can run higher-power HVAC units, televisions, computers, hot tubs, and other modern systems without worrying about an overload.

Can I Keep My Aluminum Wiring?

Seeing aluminum wiring isn’t a reason to panic, but it should be replaced. Aluminum wires are prone to overheating and can lose their shape and structure, creating a fire hazard. Schedule an electrical inspection so a contractor can determine whether to replace old wiring immediately.

Why Can’t I Install a Ceiling Fan?

Wiring and mounting a ceiling fan require advanced skills. Plus, newer fans have lighting and can reverse direction. There are different control options too. An electrician can help you select and install a ceiling fan so it’s safe to use.
