Electric vehicle ownership is growing rapidly. The Phoenix area ranks in the top 10 nationally, and the city is planning to support 280,000 EVs by 2030. While this requires a more robust public charging network, most homeowners in the Mesa area want a home charger to make charging easier. This typically means a Level 2…
Most EVs come with basic level 1 chargers, but they aren’t going to fully charge your electric vehicle even if you let it sit idle overnight. It can take 24-48 hours to fully charge your EV with a Level 1 plug-in. So, most homeowners choose a Level 2 charger, which can fully charge most EVs…
How much does it really cost to install an EV charger at home in Mesa? For many homeowners, pricing is the biggest uncertainty. One neighbor may mention a few hundred dollars, while another is quoted several thousand. The difference usually has little to do with the charger itself and everything to do with how your…
While Mesa has a large number of public charging points (about 250 within a 10-mile radius), installing an electric vehicle charger at home makes charging your EV much more convenient. That said, EV charger installation is not a simple plug-and-play project. In Mesa, there are technical, safety, and EV charger installation requirements that must be…
Hard water with high mineral content can be hard on hot water systems, especially if you’re not keeping up with routine maintenance and tank flushing. In Chandler and throughout the Phoenix metro area, hard water is prevalent and can produce sediment and scale on your tank or pipes. Even when systems are properly installed, components…
For many homeowners in Phoenix, the sudden loss of hot water can feel like it comes out of nowhere. Your water heater might need a simple reset, or it might be a warning sign of bigger problems and safety issues. Knowing how to reset a water heater correctly may help you get the hot water…
Water heaters don’t just shut down on their own randomly. When your water heater keeps turning off, something’s gone wrong. In most cases, it’s a safety issue and your water heater is shutting down to protect itself and your home. If you are asking why would my water heater turn off, it’s likely because one…
Considering the high temperatures in Chandler, high mineral content in the water, and the year-round demand for hot water, your water heater needs to work reliably. So, when you suddenly lose hot water, it’s a nuisance. There are several reasons why this may be happening, but if your water heater circuit breaker keeps tripping, it’s…
When your water heater is dripping from the top, it’s not something to ignore. Unlike small drips near the base, a hot water heater leaking from top usually involves pressure-related components or pipe connections. Caught early, this can be a relatively easy and inexpensive fix. If you wait, however, it can lead to bigger problems….
A flickering light, an outlet that suddenly stops working, or a breaker that trips for no obvious reason might just seem like a minor nuisance. In reality, however, it might be a warning sign of something more serious (and more dangerous) going on that requires an emergency electrician in Phoenix. Every year, tens of thousands…
You don’t give much thought to your circuit breakers until one of them trips. In most cases, you just reset them and forget about them again. When installed and wired properly, circuit breakers work for years, but they do wear out over time. Why do breakers go bad? Breakers are designed to respond to electrical…
When you have a power issue at home, check the circuit breaker. In many cases, it’s switched off to prevent a temporary power overload. In other cases, however, the breaker might be failing. Circuit breakers have a long life, but they won’t last forever. That’s especially true here in the Phoenix area where many panels…
