Q&A
As a Chatsworth homeowner, what should I know about water softeners and pipe corrosion?
The mineral content in our local Chatsworth water can lead to two common issues: scale buildup from water softeners and corrosion of copper pipes over time. At Arkay Electric Plumbing & Solar, we help by inspecting your existing plumbing to identify early signs of corrosion and checking your water softener's performance. We can recommend and install whole-home water filtration systems or specific treatments to mitigate these local water conditions, helping to protect your pipes and appliances for the long term.
What's involved in adding solar panels to my existing home electrical system?
Adding solar is a multi-step process we expertly handle from start to finish. First, we assess your roof's suitability and your home's current electrical panel capacity—older panels often need an upgrade to handle the solar input. Then, we design a system tailored to your energy usage, install the panels and necessary wiring, and integrate it with your main electrical service. Finally, we handle the interconnection paperwork with your utility. Our team manages the entire project, ensuring your new solar system works safely and efficiently with your home's existing infrastructure.
Why would I need an electrical panel upgrade, and can you handle it?
Yes, electrical panel installation and upgrades are a core part of our electrical services. You might need an upgrade if your home has an older panel (like a 100-amp service), if you're adding major appliances, installing an EV charger, or integrating a solar system. An outdated or overloaded panel is a safety hazard. Our licensed electricians will evaluate your current panel and home's power needs, obtain any required permits from the City of Los Angeles, and safely install a new, higher-capacity panel that meets modern electrical codes and supports your home's current and future energy demands.
