Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if water damage affects my home's electrical outlets or wiring in Lawrence?

Water and electricity are a dangerous combination. If you suspect water damage has reached your electrical system, it's important to turn off power to the affected area at your breaker panel immediately for safety. In Lawrence, where older homes can be susceptible to moisture issues, we recommend calling a professional for an inspection. Drinkwater & Sons Electric can safely assess the damage, repair or replace compromised wiring and electrical boxes, and ensure your system is both safe and up to current local codes to prevent future hazards.

Can you help with installing or troubleshooting smart home wiring and devices?

Yes, absolutely. As homes in Lawrence become more connected, proper wiring is crucial for smart thermostats, security systems, and home theaters to function reliably. Our team has the experience to install the necessary low-voltage wiring and ensure your network backbone is robust. We can also troubleshoot common malfunctions, which often stem from incorrect installation or interference, providing a stable and integrated smart home experience.

Why should I consider professional installation for a backup generator?

Proper generator installation is critical for safety and performance. It involves correctly sizing the unit for your home's needs, installing a transfer switch to isolate your home from the utility grid (a legal requirement), and ensuring all wiring meets strict electrical codes. With 30 years of experience, Rick Drinkwater and his team handle the entire process—from permit acquisition to final testing—ensuring your Lawrence home has safe, automatic backup power when you need it most.
