Electrical Upgrades

Enhanced Home Safety and Efficiency

At Pacific Home Electric, we specialize in electrical upgrades that improve the safety, functionality, and efficiency of your home. As technology advances, older electrical systems may struggle to keep up with the energy demands of modern appliances and smart home devices. Whether you’re remodeling, adding new appliances, or simply looking to improve your home’s electrical performance, upgrading your system is crucial for preventing overloaded circuits, electrical fires, or costly repairs down the road. From panel upgrades to modernizing outlets and installing advanced circuit breakers, we ensure your home’s electrical system is equipped to handle today’s power needs safely and reliably.

In addition to safety benefits, electrical upgrades can increase energy efficiency and reduce utility bills. Installing LED lighting, upgrading outdated wiring, or adding dedicated circuits for high-power appliances can help optimize your home’s energy usage. Our team also installs electric car charging stations, whole-home surge protectors, and smart home systems, allowing you to enjoy modern conveniences with a system designed to support them. With Pacific Home Electric, your electrical upgrades not only enhance the performance of your home but also provide peace of mind for the future.

How do I know if my electrical panel needs to be upgraded?

If your electrical panel frequently trips breakers, feels hot to the touch, or can’t support new high-power appliances like HVAC systems or electric car chargers, it may need an upgrade. Older panels (20+ years) often can’t handle modern energy demands, making an upgrade essential for safety and efficiency.

What are the benefits of installing whole-home surge protection?

Whole-home surge protection safeguards your electrical system and devices from power surges caused by storms, grid issues, or internal electrical problems. It prevents damage to appliances, electronics, and sensitive equipment, saving you from costly repairs or replacements.

Can I install an electric car charging station at home?

Yes, we install dedicated EV charging stations for homeowners with electric vehicles. A Level 2 charging station provides faster and more efficient charging, making it convenient to charge your EV at home while also adding value to your property.

What are GFCI and AFCI outlets, and why should I upgrade to them?

GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets are required in areas with water exposure, like kitchens and bathrooms, to prevent electrical shocks. AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets protect against electrical fires caused by faulty wiring or appliances. Upgrading to these outlets enhances the safety of your home and ensures compliance with current electrical codes.

Electrical Panel Upgrades

One of the most critical upgrades is replacing an outdated electrical panel with a modern one that can handle the increased power demand of today’s homes. An electrical panel upgrade is essential if your panel is over 20 years old, frequently trips breakers, or can’t support new appliances like electric car chargers or HVAC systems. Upgrading your panel ensures that power is distributed safely and efficiently throughout your home, preventing overloads and improving overall performance.

Outlet Upgrades (GFCI, AFCI, USB)

Upgrading outlets is a simple but important improvement for your home’s safety and functionality. We install GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets in moisture-prone areas like kitchens and bathrooms to prevent electrical shocks. AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets are added to protect against electrical fires. Additionally, we offer USB outlets for added convenience, allowing you to charge devices without the need for bulky adapters.

Whole-Home Surge Protection

Installing whole-home surge protection safeguards your appliances and electronics from unexpected power surges caused by storms or grid issues. This system helps prevent damage to high-value electronics like computers, TVs, and smart home devices, ensuring that your investments are protected from power fluctuations.

Electric Car Charging Stations

As electric vehicles (EVs) (Teslas, Lucid, Ford F-150,etc) become more popular, homeowners are opting to install dedicated EV charging stations. We install Level 2 charging outlets, ensuring you have a fast, reliable way to charge your electric vehicle at home. This upgrade not only adds convenience but also increases your home’s value.
