Old electrical wiring can lead to a host of problems and create a hazardous and unsafe environment. We offer electrical inspections to ensure the environmental safety of your household. If your lights are flickering, you are experiencing full or partial power outages, outlets are sparking, you see discoloration around the edges of outlets or your breakers are frequently blowing, it may be time to schedule an electrical inspection. 

Main panel replacements vary in cost. The price of a main panel replacement depends on if the amperage is being upgraded, whether the current service is underground or overhead, permit and inspections fees, as well as the make and model of the chosen replacement panel. In Santa Clara county main service panel replacements typically range from $1,500 – $7,000. 

We respond to a variety of electrical emergencies, including but not limited to circuit breaker issues, full and partial power outages and emergency main panel or sub panel replacements.

Hiring a licensed and professional electrician not only provides peace of mind, but also ensures a level of accountability. As a licensed, insured and bonded company, CS Electric provides a workmanship guarantee.

Signs that your main electrical panel is due for a replacement include: the main panel is warm or smells burnt, your breakers trip frequently, you are adding a new major appliance, you are building an addition to your home, your panel is over 25 years old or you can see signs of rust.

A main service panel (breaker box) is directly connected to the electricity source that leads into a building. A sub panel is useful as it provides plenty of room for installing new circuits and organizing the circuits around your home or commercial building. Examples of circuits run off of a sub panel include solar, electric vehicle chargers, washing machines and dryers, lighting, outlets and kitchen appliances. 

There are many different kinds of lighting found in residential and commercial buildings. Recessed lighting and can lights are particularly popular.

Electrical circuits are run from power sources such as a main service panel or sub panel. Circuits provide power to areas of a home or commercial building. Major appliances such as electric vehicle chargers, air conditioning, washing machines and outlets for hairdryers or microwaves are all connected to electrical circuits.

A dedicated line is a circuit dedicated to a specific appliance or outlet. These are typically used when a larger power source is required, so as not to overload a circuit and blow your breaker. 

The recommended home charging installation for Tesla vehicles is a 240 volt NEMA14-50 outlet. This outlet is installed with a 50 amp circuit breaker and is commonly used for appliances that require a larger amount of power such as electric stoves or hot tubs.
