FAQs
My outlet feels hot to the touch. Is this a common issue in Wilmington homes, and what should I do?
Yes, overheated outlets are a frequent concern in our area, often due to aging wiring or overloaded circuits. This is a serious fire hazard. First, stop using that outlet immediately and switch off the circuit at your breaker panel. Then, call us for an electrical inspection. We'll safely diagnose the cause—whether it's loose connections, corrosion, or faulty wiring—and perform the necessary repair or replacement to ensure your home is safe.
Can you help with electrical meter issues, like corrosion I've noticed on the box?
Absolutely. Meter base corrosion is a common local problem, especially near the coast, and it can lead to power interruptions or even dangerous arcing. Our electricians are trained to safely inspect, clean, and repair meter corrosion. If the damage is extensive, we can handle the full replacement, coordinating with the utility company as needed, to restore safe and reliable service to your Wilmington home.
With frequent storms here, should I consider a generator installation, and what's involved?
Given Wilmington's weather, a standby generator is an excellent investment for uninterrupted power. Our expert installation includes a full assessment of your home's electrical load, proper permitting, professional connection to your electrical panel via a transfer switch, and thorough testing. We also provide generator repair services to keep your system running reliably season after season, so you're never left in the dark.
