Q&A

My ceiling fan keeps flickering or won't turn on. Is this a common issue in Winston-Salem homes, and can you fix it?

Yes, faulty ceiling fan wiring is a frequent issue we see in older Winston-Salem homes, often due to improper initial installation or aging connections. This isn't just an inconvenience—it can be a fire hazard. Our electricians will safely inspect the wiring in the fan and the wall switch, perform any necessary wire repair or replacement, and ensure the fixture is properly grounded and secured to prevent future problems.

What are the signs that my home's electrical panel or grounding system might be unsafe?

Common warning signs in our area include frequent circuit breaker trips, lights that dim when appliances turn on, a burning smell from outlets, or outlets that feel warm to the touch. These often point to an overloaded panel, faulty breakers, or—critically—an improper grounding system, which is a major safety risk. C H Electric provides thorough electrical inspections and expert panel repair or installation to ensure your Winston-Salem home's system is safe and up to current code.

I'm adding an EV charger or generator. Does my existing electrical panel need an upgrade?

Often, yes. Installing high-demand equipment like an EV charging station or whole-house generator typically requires significant additional capacity. Our electricians will evaluate your current electric panel's amperage and condition. Many older Winston-Salem homes have 100-amp panels that need to be upgraded to 200-amps to safely handle these new loads. We handle the complete installation, from the panel upgrade and circuit breaker installation to the final connection of your new device, ensuring everything is permitted and inspected for safety.
