Electrical Repairs and Troubleshooting
Electrical issues may indicate damaged components, overloaded circuits, loose connections, or other problems within the electrical system. Our troubleshooting services focus on identifying the actual cause before recommending a repair.
We diagnose problems such as:
- Circuit breakers that frequently trip
- Dead or damaged outlets
- Flickering or dimming lights
- Faulty switches and dimmers
- Partial power loss
- Warm or buzzing electrical components
- GFCI outlet problems
- Electrical panel and breaker issues
- Loose or damaged wiring
- Overloaded electrical circuits
After completing the repair, we test the affected electrical system to confirm that it operates correctly.
Electrical Panel Upgrades
Older electrical panels may not provide enough capacity for today’s appliances and electrical equipment. Renovations, EV chargers, heat pumps, hot tubs, and additional circuits can also increase the electrical demand on a property.
We can assess your existing panel and electrical capacity to determine whether you may need a panel replacement, service upgrade, subpanel, additional circuit, or load-management solution.
EV Charger Installation
Lumax Electric installs EV charging equipment for homes, businesses, strata buildings, and other properties. Our services include Level 2 charger installation, dedicated charging circuits, electrical capacity assessments, load-management solutions, and panel upgrades when required.
We review your vehicle, charger specifications, installation location, wiring route, and available electrical capacity before recommending an installation plan.
