Brown Electric - Bluffton's Emergency Electricians

Arc fault breakers in older Bluffton homes often trip due to worn insulation, loose connections in outlets, or appliances with aging motors. Our electrical inspection pinpoints the exact circuit and device causing the dangerous arc fault. We check for compromised wiring in walls and attics—common in our climate—and ensure your breakers are properly matched to your home's load, providing a permanent fix for this frustrating and potentially hazardous issue.

A GFCI outlet that won't reset usually indicates a ground fault or moisture infiltration, which is common in areas with humidity. First, try pressing the 'TEST' button and then 'RESET.' If it still fails, the outlet itself may be faulty or there could be a downstream wiring problem. Do not force it. Brown Electric's inspection will safely diagnose the issue, replace the defective GFCI if needed, and check all connected outlets on the circuit to ensure your home's protection against electrical shocks is fully restored.

A comprehensive electrical inspection by Brown Electric goes beyond fixing a single problem. We systematically evaluate your entire system—from the main panel and breakers to every outlet and switch. This is crucial for identifying hidden risks like outdated aluminum wiring, overloaded circuits from modern appliances, or improper DIY repairs. For Bluffton residents, this proactive check ensures your home meets current safety codes, prevents nuisance trips, and protects your family and property from the risk of electrical fires.
