FAQs

My outdoor outlet stopped working after a freeze. Can you repair it, and how do you prevent future damage?

Yes, we frequently repair freeze-damaged outdoor outlets in Lewiston. We'll first inspect the wiring for water infiltration and corrosion, then safely replace the damaged outlet with a new, weather-resistant GFCI model. To prevent future issues, we can also install a protective in-use cover and ensure proper sealing, which are crucial for our Maine winters.

My breaker keeps tripping, especially when I use multiple appliances. Is this a panel overload, and what's the solution?

Frequent tripping, particularly in older Lewiston homes, often indicates an overloaded panel—a common and serious safety concern. We'll perform a detailed electrical inspection to assess your panel's capacity and overall circuit load. The solution typically involves upgrading your electrical panel to a higher amperage service and potentially adding dedicated circuits, ensuring your home's system can safely handle modern electrical demands.

Considering Lewiston's weather, should I install a standby generator, and what does your installation process involve?

Given our power outages from ice storms and heavy snow, a standby generator is a wise investment for continuous power. Our installation is comprehensive: we first evaluate your home's electrical needs, obtain any permits, install a transfer switch for safety, and connect a permanent generator unit. We handle all the electrical connections to your panel, ensuring a seamless, automatic backup system you can rely on.
