Electrical Repair Riverside

Your Riverside, CA, home features a complex network of electrical wiring, circuits, outlets, and other components that may need repair at some point. The team at Express Electrical is ready to help with a variety of electrical repair services in Riverside. If you’re dealing with electrical panel problems, flickering lights, or other issues after returning home from a day of exploring the beautiful Sycamore Canyon Wilderness Park, we’re here to help.

Our team of licensed electricians is ready to help with anything from an electrical inspection to a panel upgrade and much more. These electrical services are vital to maintaining the safety and efficiency of your Riverside home’s electrical system. 

Whether it’s a routine repair or a serious emergency, choosing a licensed residential electrician is important to make sure the job is done right. Our comprehensive electrical services address problems while ensuring your home functions as efficiently as possible. Factors like the complexity of the repair, materials required, and the time it takes to complete the job will affect your final repair cost. 

Electrical panel upgrades

The electrical panel delivers electricity from the power grid to every room, all your appliances, and devices like televisions and computers. An electrical panel replacement or upgrade installed by a licensed electrician helps increase the load capacity of your home’s electrical system and minimizes the risk of overheating circuits, tripped breakers, and electrical fires. Upgrades make the system more compatible with modern appliances and device power requirements. You’ll improve the functionality and value of your Riverside home. 

Circuit breaker repair

Circuit breaker repair services identify underlying problems with these essential components, which are designed to protect your home from fires and electrical overloads. An electrician from Express Electrical will troubleshoot the issue to determine why your circuit breaker might be tripping frequently. Then, we’ll repair the problem so it’s safe and reliable for years to come. 

Home rewiring

New electrical wiring ensures your home follows the latest electrical code compliance guidelines. No home rewiring job is too big or small for our trained electricians. Whether you need whole-home rewiring, appliance wiring, or wiring replacement, we’ll get it done. 

Outlet and switch replacement

A faulty switch or outlet can hinder the functionality of your electrical equipment and may also be a serious safety concern. We upgrade outlets to ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets, dimmer switches, three-prong outlets, and more.

Lighting and ceiling fan repair

If your lights are dimming, flickering, or no longer working, our team will fix the problem. We also repair ceiling fans, balance bent blades, tighten loose parts, and repair motor problems. Our team looks for underlying issues like faulty wiring, bad connections, loose components, incompatible junction boxes, and more to get to the root of the problem.

Surge protection

A power surge can damage your appliances, your electric vehicle charger, and the electrical devices in your home, leading to costly replacements. When you upgrade to the latest surge protection devices, they divert excess voltage from connected electrical equipment during a power surge to protect them from permanent damage.

After a thorough electrical safety inspection, our skilled electricians can address any electrical problem. We even offer several financing options in case you need to make electrical repairs on a budget. 

Some of the most common problems we see and fix in Riverside homes include:

• Faulty wiring: Many older homes in the Riverside area have outdated wiring called “knob-and-tube.” This older wiring poses significant safety risks and doesn’t meet the current electrical code and safety standards. We also replace damaged wiring and older aluminum wiring.

• Flickering lights: If your lights flicker, it could be due to various issues, including loose wiring or insufficient voltage.

• Power surges: Your home could be at risk of a power surge due to lightning strikes, wiring problems, or overuse of the power grid during hot weather. A major power surge can damage electronics and appliances, leading to expensive replacements or repairs.

• Damaged outlets: We address loose, burnt, and faulty outlets and switches to improve your home’s safety and functionality.

• Circuit breaker trips: It’s normal for a circuit breaker to trip occasionally, but persistent breaker trips indicate a serious problem. It could be due to too many devices pulling energy from a single outlet, short circuits, or electrical panel problems, all of which should be diagnosed by a licensed electrician.

• Buzzing, burning, or sparking: If your electrical equipment makes a buzzing noise, sparks, or smells like burning, it may be due to a poor connection or electrical arcing.

• Overheating circuits: A warm or scorched outlet or switch or one that emits a burning smell are signs that your circuits are overheating and need repair or replacement.
