FAQs
My outlet feels warm to the touch. Is this a common issue in Lexington homes, and what should I do?
Yes, overheated outlets are a frequent concern, often stemming from aging wiring, corrosion from lake humidity, or increased demand on older circuits. This is a serious fire hazard. First, unplug any devices from that outlet and avoid using it. Call us immediately for an electrical inspection. We'll safely diagnose the cause, which could be a loose connection, faulty wiring, or an overloaded circuit, and perform the necessary repair to ensure your home's safety.
After a winter storm, my generator won't start. Can you repair storm-related generator issues?
Absolutely. Snow, ice, and power surges from downed lines in our area can damage generators. Common issues include flooded engines, damaged transfer switches, or control board failures from power fluctuations. Our generator repair service includes a full diagnostic to pinpoint the weather-related problem. We service all major brands and can get your backup power system running reliably again, so you're prepared for the next outage.
I need new outdoor lighting, but I'm worried about winter damage. What do you recommend for durability?
It's a smart concern given our lake-effect snow and ice. For lasting durability in Lexington, we recommend and install high-quality, weather-rated fixtures specifically designed for harsh climates. During light fixture installation, we ensure all connections are sealed against moisture and use corrosion-resistant materials. We can also advise on optimal placement to minimize snow accumulation and ice dam exposure, giving you beautiful, functional lighting that stands up to Michigan winters.
