Signs you may need a panel upgrade:
- Breakers that trip more than once a month
- A panel that uses fuses instead of breakers
- You’re adding a major appliance, EV charger, or room addition
- Your home is over 30 years old and the panel has never been replaced

California has one of the highest rates of electric vehicle ownership in the country, and San Mateo is no exception. If you’ve recently bought a Tesla, Rivian, or any other EV, you’ve probably already discovered that the standard 120V outlet charges most vehicles at about 3 to 5 miles of range per hour. That’s manageable for short daily commutes, but most drivers switch to Level 2 charging as soon as they can.
Our team installs:
- NEMA 14-50 outlets for universal EV chargers
- Hardwired Level 2 EVSE units (ChargePoint, Tesla Wall Connector, JuiceBox, and others)
- Dedicated 240V circuits with permit and inspection

A breaker that trips once after an overload is doing its job. A breaker that trips repeatedly, won’t reset, or stays warm to the touch is telling you something different. Faulty breakers are one of the more common causes of house fires, and they’re also one of the more straightforward fixes when addressed early.
Our electricians diagnose whether the issue is the breaker itself, an overloaded circuit, or something further down the line. We replace faulty breakers the same day in most cases and can add new circuits if your panel has room to grow.
