Frequently Asked Questions
What should Chapel Hill residents do if they experience flickering lights or suspect aging wiring?
Flickering lights in Chapel Hill homes often indicate aging residential wiring or overloaded circuits, common in older neighborhoods. At Brickman Electric, we start with a thorough electrical inspection to diagnose the root cause—whether it's outdated wiring, faulty connections, or panel issues. We then provide clear repair options, such as wire repair or panel upgrades, using durable materials suited to local building standards. Our approach prioritizes safety and long-term reliability, helping prevent fire hazards and ensuring your home's electrical system meets current demands.
Do you install electric vehicle charging stations for homes in the Chapel Hill area?
Yes, we specialize in electric vehicle charging station installation for Chapel Hill and Durham residents. As a Master Electrician with over 40 years of experience, Don Brickman assesses your home's electrical capacity to recommend the right charger type—whether Level 1 or Level 2—and ensures proper installation with necessary panel upgrades or dedicated circuits. We handle everything from permits to final testing, making charging convenient and safe. Plus, our lifetime phone support means you can always reach out if you have questions about using or maintaining your station.
