Common Electrical Problems in Encino Homes

Outdated Electrical Systems in Established Homes

Many Encino ranch homes from the 1950s through 1970s still run on original 100-amp panels never built for modern loads like EV chargers, central air, and multiple smart devices. We see two-prong outlets, insufficient circuits, and panels that trip constantly. We upgrade these systems with new panels and proper wiring while preserving your home's character.

Overloaded Electrical Panels

Adding an AC unit, EV charger, or home office often pushes an older panel past its limit, causing frequent trips. This just means your system has outgrown its capacity. Most Encino homes need 200-amp service, though larger estates may require 400 amps. We evaluate your usage and size your panel correctly.

Air Conditioning Electrical Demands

Encino's hot summers put constant strain on cooling systems, and older wiring often can't keep up. Undersized wiring, missing disconnects, and shared circuits lead to poor performance and repeated trips. We install dedicated, properly sized circuits so your AC runs reliably.

Aluminum Wiring Safety Issues

Homes built between 1965 and 1974 often have aluminum wiring, which loosens at connections over time and creates fire risk. Homes with aluminum wiring face significantly higher fire hazard rates. We offer full copper rewiring, COPALUM crimps, or AlumiConn connectors depending on your situation.

Insufficient Electrical Capacity for Modern Life

EV charging, AC, cooking, and home offices running at once can overwhelm an outdated system. We design your electrical setup with proper panel sizing and circuit capacity, so you're not choosing between charging your car and staying cool.

Power Surges and Voltage Fluctuations

Lightning strikes, grid fluctuations, and cycling appliances can quietly damage electronics and smart home systems over time. Our whole-house surge protection installs a defense at your main panel, with added protection for your most sensitive devices.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I haven’t personally hired PowerRoute Electric for their services, but I’ve worked alongside them on several jobs over the past year and a half before it was out to the public. From what I’ve seen firsthand, they take their work seriously. They show up on time, communicate clearly, and put effort into getting the job done right. Their team is respectful and seems to care about doing things the right way, not just the fast way. They’re not perfect—no company is—but they’ve consistently shown up and done what they said they would, which goes a long way in this line of work. If you’re considering hiring them, based on what I’ve experienced working with them on-site, they’re reliable and professional. I’d trust them on a job of my own.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Power Route was fast, efficient, organized and knowledgeable when working on solving my electrical issues. They went above and beyond by giving us a breakdown of what the cheaper option vs the best solution would look like in terms of cost and long term solution. Power Route was very transparent and delivered high quality work . Fixed our flickering lights, our overload issues, provided a water heater solution and installed 2 car chargers. Everything is working great and we have not had an issue. Would definitely recommend.
