Questions and Answers

Why would I need an electrical inspection for my home in Cortez?

An electrical inspection is a key step for safety and peace of mind, especially in our area. We check your system for code compliance, potential fire hazards, and overloaded circuits. This is crucial before a remodel, after purchasing a home, or if you're experiencing issues like frequent breaker trips. Given the local prevalence of lightning surges, we also assess your system's grounding and surge protection to help safeguard your appliances and electronics.

My arc fault breaker keeps tripping. Can Dickson Electric help diagnose this?

Absolutely. Persistent arc fault breaker trips are a common issue we address for Cortez homeowners. These breakers are sensitive safety devices designed to prevent electrical fires. The cause can range from a faulty appliance to wiring issues. With over 30 years of experience, Tom Dickson can efficiently trace the source of the problem, whether in your home's wiring or a specific device, and provide a reliable fix to restore safe, consistent power to your circuits.
