Common Questions

My circuit breaker feels hot to the touch. Is this the panel overheating you mentioned as a common Charleston issue?

Yes, a hot electrical panel is a serious warning sign of overheating, which can be caused by outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, or corrosion from our humid climate—all common here. This requires immediate attention. Our electricians perform a detailed electrical inspection to diagnose the root cause, which often leads to a necessary panel repair or a full panel upgrade to a modern, higher-capacity unit that can safely handle your home's demands.

After a recent thunderstorm, some of my outlets stopped working. Could this be surge damage, and how do you fix it?

Absolutely. Lightning-induced power surges are a frequent local problem that can damage wiring, outlets, and even your electrical panel internally. Our repair process starts with a safety inspection to assess the extent of the damage. We then systematically repair or replace the affected wires and outlets. To prevent future issues, we highly recommend installing whole-home surge protection at your main electrical panel, which we can provide, to shield your entire Charleston home's electrical system.

I'm considering a generator for storm season. Can you install one that won't overload my existing electrical panel?

Certainly. A proper generator installation is crucial to prevent overloading, which itself can cause panel overheating. Our licensed electricians will first evaluate your current panel's capacity and overall electrical health. We then design and install a generator system with a dedicated transfer switch that safely integrates with your home's wiring. This ensures reliable backup power during outages without risking damage to your panel or appliances, giving you peace of mind throughout Charleston's storm season.
