Q&A
Why is my generator transfer switch not working after a storm, and can you fix it?
This is a common issue in Raleigh, often caused by power surges or water intrusion during heavy rains. Our electricians are experienced with local generator systems and can safely diagnose the problem, whether it's in the switch itself, the wiring, or the connection to your main electrical panel. We'll repair or replace components to ensure your backup power is ready when you need it.
I found water in an outdoor outlet after rain. Is this an emergency, and what do you repair?
Yes, water in an outlet is a serious safety hazard that requires immediate attention to prevent shock or fire. We'll first safely disconnect power and inspect for damage. Our repair typically involves replacing the water-damaged outlet and wiring, ensuring all connections are secure and watertight. We often recommend upgrading to a weatherproof, in-use outlet cover, which is a great solution for Raleigh's climate.
My lights are flickering. Could this be related to my circuit breaker or panel, and how do you inspect it?
Flickering lights can indicate several issues, from a faulty breaker to overloaded circuits or loose wiring in the panel—all common in older Raleigh homes. Our process starts with a thorough electrical inspection. We'll check your panel's health, test breakers, and assess your home's overall electrical load. Based on our findings, we might recommend breaker repair, panel upgrade, or new wire installation to restore stable, safe power throughout your house.
