FAQs

My outdoor outlet got wet during a storm and now it's dead. Can you fix it, and how can I prevent this in the future?

Absolutely. Water intrusion is a common issue in Pickens and a major safety risk. We'll safely repair or replace the damaged outlet and wiring. To prevent future problems, we recommend installing a weatherproof in-use cover and upgrading to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet, which will immediately cut power if moisture is detected, protecting your home and family.

I tried installing a light fixture myself and now my breaker keeps tripping. What's wrong, and can you help?

Yes, we see this often. A tripping breaker after a DIY installation usually indicates a wiring error or a short circuit, which is a fire hazard. It's crucial to stop using that circuit. Our electricians will perform a detailed inspection to find the fault, safely correct the wiring at the fixture or panel, and ensure the installation is up to code, restoring safe, reliable power to your home.

My home's electrical panel is old and I'm adding more appliances. Should I consider an upgrade or just a repair?

For older Pickens homes, an upgrade is often the safest long-term solution. Older panels can't handle modern electrical loads, leading to frequent breaker trips and overheating—especially if past DIY work has added strain. We'll inspect your panel and entire system. An upgrade to a new, higher-capacity panel not only prevents future problems but also ensures safety for your new appliances and meets current electrical codes for home insurance.
