Abbotts Electric | Lighting Fixtures & Equipment & Electrical in Moultonborough, NH 03254

GFCI outlets are safety devices that trip when they detect a ground fault, which is common in areas with moisture. In our local climate, outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages are especially prone to wear. A persistent trip or failure often signals an underlying issue like a faulty appliance, moisture intrusion, or wiring damage. Abbotts Electric can perform a detailed inspection to diagnose the exact cause and provide a safe, lasting repair to restore protection to your home.

Signs include flickering lights, circuits that trip without an obvious cause, a burning smell from outlets, or visible gnaw marks near wires. This is a critical issue in our area, as rodents can chew through insulation, exposing live wires. This creates a severe fire hazard and shock risk. If you suspect rodent damage, contact Abbotts Electric immediately. We will inspect your wiring, make the necessary repairs, and can advise on preventative measures to protect your home's electrical system.

Absolutely. While we expertly install or replace any light fixture to update your home's look and functionality, we always conduct a safety check of the existing wiring during the process. This is crucial in older Moultonborough homes where wiring may be outdated or could have unseen damage from pests or age. Our dual approach ensures your new fixture is not only beautifully installed but also connected to a safe and reliable electrical source, giving you complete peace of mind.
