Q4: How much should I worry about flickering lights?
It depends. Lights can flicker for multiple reasons, some serious and others not. For example, it’s normal for lights to dim or flicker when large appliances in the home are turned on, since they draw plenty of power in to get started. But if this is a consistent issue throughout the home, it could be caused by a defective electrical panel or some other issue throughout the system. In that case, it would be a good idea to call a pro for help!
-
Q5: What does it mean for my circuit breaker to trip?
Circuit breakers protect wires by limiting how much of the electrical current in a home flows through them. When they don’t do their job, wires can overheat and even cause fires, so it’s crucial for breakers to fit their wires correctly. So when your circuit breaker trips, the reason is likely that it gets overloaded. A good fix is to use less electricity from that circuit to lower the load, which means unplugging something or using less appliances at once. Another solution is to simply add another circuit, doubling the load your system can take. In either case, it’s always good to call an expert for advice.
-
Q6: What if my circuit breaker doesn’t reset?
If a circuit overloads, there is a chance that it won’t reset upon tripping. Should this happen repeatedly, the electrical system definitely needs service from a licensed technician, as it could signal a short circuit or a problem with the breaker itself.
-
Q7: How do I reset a circuit breaker?
First, push it into the “off” position to the left, and then to the “on” position to the right. It needs to be turned off before it can be turned on as opposed to simply turned on right after a circuit breaker trip, otherwise it won’t work properly.
-
Q8: What is a GFCI, and are they important?
A GFCI, or a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, stops electrocution in places that could be exposed to water, or places that are underground. It is incredibly important to keep your home safe from electrical accidents.
-
Q9: What should I do if my power goes out?
If the power only goes out in certain parts of your house, it might be time to check the electrical panel for a blown fuse or tripped circuit. Either of these is a sign that there may be an overload in the system or the result of a defective appliance. In any case, you should reset the tripped circuit or, in the case of a blown fuse, call an electrician. Should the power be out throughout the home, it could signal a problem with the electrical panel itself, or even the main breaker. Either of these issues could mean a wider problem with your electrical system. If the main breaker is tripped, you should turn off all other circuit breakers before restarting that one, otherwise it could lead to severe damage.
-
Q10: Why should I upgrade my electrical system?
When you upgrade your electrical system, it means you can start using more power in your home. This is especially important for older homes that were built with less capacity in mind. Now, with all our modern applications, having enough electricity for everything a household needs for daily life takes more power than ever. If your home is older than 25 years, this means that your electrical panel might be due for an upgrade.
-
Q11: What signs of electric trouble should I look for?
Some straightforward signs of electric trouble include dimming light and frequent circuit breaker trips. These can come from electric accidents, but they can also be a result of the electrical system aging out. The average electrical panel will last 25-35 years, so if yours is reaching that age it might be time to consider a replacement. Luckily, this doesn’t need to mean a giant, whole-house replacement; the panel in itself is a massive upgrade that can benefit the entire home.
-
Q12: How long will it take to upgrade my electrical panel?
The process usually takes no longer than a day. Any additional work, like adding circuits or changing switches, might stretch the process out for longer. In either case, Our techs will not let you go to bed without power. We’ll shut the electricity off early in the morning and bring it back by the end of the day.
-
Q13: How much will it cost to update my electrical system?
The cost of upgrading your electrical system varies depending on the location of your panel, city and district requirements, how long it takes to get the permit and inspect the system, and other factors. Prices can range from around $2,000 to $8,000 depending on the service. Very low prices should be something to watch out for, as the parts required to do this work are costly and the work should only be performed by experts who won’t cut corners.
-
Q14: Does my house need rewiring?
Not all homes need to have their entire system rewired, as even older ones are perfectly functional. The best way to determine if your home needs rewiring is to get a professional electrician to inspect your system. They can tell the difference between a home that needs drastic rewiring service and one which only needs a minor upgrade to solve any current issue.
-
Q15: Will you cut a hole in my wall to get to the wiring?
Some holes are unavoidable when working with an electric system. Still, experienced electricians like ours know plenty of tricks to avoid cutting into your walls, and when they do they can often avoid creating large holes that can’t be patched easily. Our techs will always be sure to leave your home spotless, always patching any part of your wall they needed to get through to reach the wires.
