Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my arc fault breaker keep tripping, and how can East Tech Electric fix it?
Frequent tripping of an Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) breaker is a common issue in Winterville homes and is a critical safety feature indicating a potential fire hazard. The cause could be a faulty appliance, damaged wiring, or a loose connection. East Tech Electric performs a thorough electrical inspection to pinpoint the exact source of the problem. Our licensed electricians will then perform the necessary electric repair or replacement to eliminate the hazard and restore safe, reliable power to your circuits, ensuring your home's protection.
I found water near an outlet after a storm. What should I do, and can you help?
Water intrusion into electrical outlets is a serious safety risk that requires immediate attention. First, turn off power to that circuit at your main electric panel if it is safe to do so. Do not use the outlet. Contact East Tech Electric right away. Our experts will safely inspect the affected area and all related wiring for damage. We provide essential electric repair or replacement of compromised components and can also recommend and install solutions, like upgrading your electric panel or using specialized outdoor-rated fixtures, to help prevent future water-related issues in your Winterville home.
Can installing a new electric panel help with my home's recurring electrical issues?
