Electrical Problems Should Be Diagnosed Before Parts Are Replaced
A failed device, breaker or fixture may be where the problem becomes noticeable without necessarily being the source of the fault.
Tripping Breakers
Repeated trips can result from circuit loading, equipment problems, wiring faults or other electrical conditions that should be evaluated before assuming the breaker itself is the problem.
Dead Outlets & Circuits
A loss of power can originate at another connection, protective device, breaker or point on the branch circuit.
Intermittent Electrical Problems
Problems that come and go often require systematic testing to isolate the source and determine the appropriate repair.
Lighting Upgrades Without Treating Every Project Like a Remodel
Lighting and ceiling fan work can range from replacing a single fixture to updating multiple areas of a home.
Loftis installs and replaces compatible ceiling fans, interior fixtures, exterior lighting and electrical controls where the existing wiring, support and installation conditions are suitable.
Smart switches and dimmers can also be incorporated when compatible with the electrical system and connected lighting.

Panel Upgrades and New Electrical Loads
Electrical Panel Upgrades
Panel replacement or upgrade can be appropriate when equipment is damaged, deteriorated, unsuitable for planned work or does not provide appropriate capacity for new electrical loads.
The scope depends on the existing electrical service, equipment condition and calculated demand.
Electrical Panel Upgrades →Dedicated Circuits
Dedicated 120V and 240V circuits can be installed for equipment that requires its own properly sized branch circuit.
Common applications include appliances, workshops, hot tubs, pool equipment and other significant electrical loads.
Dedicated Circuit Installation →Add Surge Protection at the Electrical Panel
A surge protective device installed at the electrical panel can add another layer of protection for connected electrical and electronic equipment throughout the home.
Loftis offers compatible whole-home surge protection options based on the panel, available installation method and selected SPD.
Whole-Home Surge Protection →Whole-Home Surge Protection
Starting at $350
Pricing applies to qualifying installations with compatible panel conditions. Additional electrical corrections or equipment may affect the final project price.
Residential EV Charger Installation
Adding a residential EV charger requires more than selecting a breaker size. The existing electrical service, panel capacity, available breaker space, charger requirements and wiring route all affect the installation.
Loftis evaluates these conditions before determining the appropriate scope for the charger circuit.
EV Charger Installation →Qualifying EV Installations
Starting at $695
The qualifying starting price applies when suitable panel capacity and breaker space are available, the wiring route is short and straightforward, and the customer provides the charger.
Permit administration, government fees, longer wiring routes, electrical corrections and other project-specific work may be additional.
A Closer Look at Accessible Electrical Conditions
An electrical inspection can be useful when a homeowner wants a broader understanding of visible electrical conditions rather than troubleshooting one specific fault.
Loftis offers a Coastal Safety Check focused on selected accessible electrical conditions and visible concerns.
Electrical Inspections →Coastal Safety Check
$149
Includes visual observations of accessible service and panel condition, visible corrosion or overheating, grounding and bonding observations, selected GFCI/AFCI protection and other visible electrical concerns.

Compatible portable-generator interlock systems can provide a practical method of supplying selected household circuits through the electrical panel.
