FAQs
Why is my new ceiling fan flickering or not working after a DIY installation in my Charleston home?
This is a common issue we see and is often due to improper wiring or an overloaded circuit. Ceiling fans require a specific box and correct wiring to handle both the weight and the dual function of light and motor. Our electricians can safely diagnose the problem, perform any necessary wire repair or circuit breaker repair, and ensure your fan is installed correctly for safe, reliable operation.
I've had problems with outlets after some DIY work. Can BDS Electric perform an electrical inspection?
Absolutely. A professional electrical inspection is the safest first step. Our licensed electricians will thoroughly assess your home's wiring, outlets, and electric panel to identify any code violations or unsafe conditions caused by previous work. We can then provide a clear plan for any needed outlet repair, wire repair, or panel upgrade to restore safety and functionality to your Charleston home.
To prevent electrical issues, should I upgrade my circuit breaker panel or install a generator?
Both are excellent proactive measures for Charleston homeowners. An outdated or undersized electric panel is a leading cause of failures and can't support modern additions like EV chargers. A panel installation or upgrade provides a safe foundation. Pairing that with a generator installation ensures power during our coastal storms. We can evaluate your home's specific load and needs to recommend the right solution for enhanced safety and convenience.
