Frequently Asked Questions
What does a 100 to 200 amp service upgrade involve, and why might my Columbus home need one?
A service upgrade replaces your main electrical panel and service entrance wires to increase your home's electrical capacity from 100 to 200 amps. For many Columbus homes built decades ago, this upgrade is necessary to safely support modern additions like central air conditioning, major kitchen appliances, EV chargers, or home offices. Our team handles the entire process, from securing the local permit to installing a new panel with trusted brands like Eaton, ensuring your electrical system meets current safety codes and your family's power needs.
My circuit breaker keeps tripping after storms. Is this a common issue in our area, and can you help?
Yes, storm-related electrical issues, including nuisance trips in arc fault breakers (AFCI) or damage from power surges, are common in Columbus and the surrounding areas. High winds and lightning can send surges through the grid that stress your home's wiring and sensitive breakers. We specialize in diagnosing and repairing this type of storm surge damage. Our inspection can identify if you need breaker replacement, wiring repairs, or the installation of additional surge protection to safeguard your home's electrical system against future severe weather.
Do you install and repair light fixtures, including ceiling fans?
Absolutely. We handle the full installation, replacement, and repair of all types of light fixtures and ceiling fans. Whether you're updating a single fixture or installing new lighting throughout your home, our electricians ensure every connection is secure and safe. For ceiling fans, we verify proper mounting to ceiling joists and ensure the wiring can handle the fan's load, which is crucial for both performance and safety. As a residential specialist since 1978, we've helped countless Columbus area homeowners safely brighten their homes.
