FAQs
My Aurora home is older and the lights frequently flicker. Could this be due to aging wiring, and what should I do?
Yes, flickering lights in an older Aurora home are often a sign of aging or degraded wiring, which is a common local issue. This can be a fire hazard. We recommend a professional electrical inspection. Our electricians will check your wiring, circuit breakers, and panel to diagnose the problem. We can then perform necessary wire repairs or a full replacement to ensure your home's electrical system is safe and up to current code.
After some water got into an electrical outlet in my basement, what steps should I take for repair?
Water damage to electrical components is serious and requires immediate attention to prevent shock or fire. First, turn off the power to that circuit at your breaker panel. Do not use the outlet. Contact Colt Electric right away. Our electricians will safely inspect the damaged outlet, switch, or wiring box, perform all necessary repairs or replacements, and check for any hidden moisture damage in the surrounding area to ensure your Aurora home is completely safe.
I'm considering an EV charger installation, but I live in an older Aurora neighborhood. Can my electrical panel handle it?
Many older homes in Aurora have electrical panels that aren't equipped for the added demand of an EV charger. As part of our installation service, we first conduct a thorough inspection of your existing panel and wiring. If an upgrade is needed, we can install a new, higher-capacity electric panel or a dedicated sub-panel. This ensures your charger operates safely and efficiently without overloading your home's system, providing a reliable solution tailored to our local housing stock.
