Questions and Answers

My AFCI breaker keeps tripping in my Columbus home. What should I do?

Frequent AFCI trips are a common issue here, often caused by loose wiring in outlets or switches, which creates dangerous arcs. First, unplug devices from the affected circuit. If it still trips, it's a wiring issue. Do not ignore this—it's a fire hazard. Edwards Electric can perform a detailed electrical inspection to locate the loose connection, safely repair it, and ensure your breakers function properly to protect your home.

Can you fix a flickering light or an outlet that doesn't hold plugs snugly?

Absolutely. Flickering lights and loose outlets that won't hold plugs are classic signs of the loose wiring we frequently repair in Columbus-area homes. This is more than an inconvenience; it indicates wear or a faulty connection that can overheat. Our electricians will safely repair or replace the faulty light fixture or outlet, securing all connections to eliminate the fire risk and restore full, safe functionality.

We're considering solar. Will our older home's electrical system in Columbus support an installation?

Great question. Before any solar installation, a comprehensive electrical inspection is crucial, especially in older Columbus homes where we often find outdated wiring. Edwards Electric will evaluate your main panel, wiring, and overall system capacity. We'll resolve any issues like loose connections or an outdated panel to ensure your home's electrical system is safe, up to code, and fully ready to integrate with your new solar system efficiently.
