Common Questions
My generator won't switch on during a Portsmouth power outage. What's usually the problem?
This is a common issue we see locally, often related to the automatic transfer switch (ATS). The ATS can fail due to wear, internal component issues, or improper initial installation. Dan Gilmore Electric specializes in generator repair and installation, including thorough diagnostics and repair of transfer switches to ensure your backup power activates seamlessly when you need it most.
Why do my lights flicker in my older Portsmouth home, and is it dangerous?
Flickering lights in historic Portsmouth homes can signal several things, from a simple loose light bulb to a more serious issue like faulty wiring, a failing circuit breaker, or an overloaded electrical panel. It's important not to ignore it, as it can be a fire hazard. We offer expert electric inspections and repairs to diagnose the root cause—whether it's wire repair, panel repair, or an outlet upgrade—and fix it safely.
I'm considering an EV charger installation in Portsmouth. Does my older electrical panel need an upgrade?
It very well might. Many older homes in Portsmouth have electrical panels that aren't equipped to handle the sustained load of an EV charger. Before installation, our team will conduct a full assessment of your panel's capacity and overall system health. We frequently perform electric panel installations and upgrades to ensure your home can support new technology like EV chargers and generators safely and efficiently.
