Q&A
My outdoor outlet stopped working after winter. Can you fix it, and how can I prevent this in Hancock?
Yes, we frequently repair freeze-damaged outdoor outlets in the Hancock area. Moisture seeps in, freezes, and can crack housings or corrode wiring. We'll safely replace the damaged outlet with a weather-resistant model (WR) and ensure proper GFCI protection. To prevent future issues, we recommend using in-use bubble covers for outlets that are used regularly, which provide a seal even with a plug in it.
I'm concerned my older Hancock home might not be properly grounded. What does an electrical inspection involve?
An electrical inspection from Clark Electric is a thorough safety check. For grounding concerns common in older homes here, we'll test your outlets, inspect your main service panel and grounding electrode system, and check for any ungrounded circuits. We'll provide a clear report on any safety issues, such as improper grounding or outdated wiring, and explain your options for repair or upgrade to meet modern safety standards.
With frequent storms causing power outages, what should I consider for a generator installation in Hancock?
For reliable backup power in Hancock, a professionally installed standby generator is key. We assess your home's electrical load to recommend the right size, handle all permits, install a proper transfer switch to keep utility workers safe, and ensure it's correctly connected to your home's grounding system. Proper installation prevents back-feeding into power lines and ensures your generator operates safely and automatically when the power goes out.
