Question Answers

My arc fault breaker in my Kinston home keeps tripping. What should I do?

Frequent AFCI trips are a common issue, often caused by aging wiring, a faulty appliance, or a loose connection. It's a safety feature doing its job, but it needs diagnosing. A C Riggs Electric can perform a detailed electrical inspection to pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's in a specific circuit, an outlet, or your home's wiring—and provide a reliable repair to restore safe, uninterrupted power.

What are the signs my older Kinston home needs an electrical wiring inspection?

Key signs include frequently tripped breakers, flickering lights, outlets that are warm to the touch or discolored, a persistent burning smell, or reliance on extension cords due to insufficient outlets. Given the age of many homes here, a professional inspection from A C Riggs Electric can identify worn insulation, overloaded circuits, and other hazards within your existing wiring before they lead to a larger problem or safety concern.

Can you upgrade my old light fixtures and ensure the wiring is safe?

Absolutely. When installing new light fixtures in an older home, the existing wiring and junction boxes must be evaluated for safety and capacity. Our service includes both the expert installation of your new fixture and a check of the supporting electrical system. We'll ensure the connections are secure, the wiring is sound, and the circuit can handle the load, giving you a beautiful update without compromising safety.
