Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my GFCI outlet keep tripping, and can you fix it?

GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages are designed to trip when they detect a ground fault, which is a serious safety feature. Frequent tripping in Coal City homes can be caused by moisture, a faulty appliance, or underlying wiring issues, including potential rodent damage. Our electrical inspection will pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's a simple fix or a sign of a deeper problem—and we'll provide a permanent, safe repair to restore reliable power.

How can an electrical inspection protect my home from rodent wiring damage?

Rodents in our area often chew through wiring insulation inside walls and attics, creating hidden fire hazards and causing circuits to fail. Our comprehensive electrical inspection includes checking accessible areas for signs of pest-related damage. We identify compromised wires, evaluate the overall safety of your system, and recommend necessary repairs or protective measures to eliminate the risk before it leads to a power outage or dangerous situation.

What should I do if I suspect rodents have damaged my home's wiring?

If you hear scratching in walls, notice a burning smell, or have unexplained circuit breaker trips, act promptly. First, contact a pest control professional to address the infestation. Then, call A C Electric Service for a safety inspection. We will assess and repair any damaged wiring to restore safe operation. It's a critical step for Coal City homeowners to prevent electrical fires and ensure the integrity of your home's electrical system.
