FAQs
What should I do if my lights are flickering in my Porter home?
Flickering lights in Porter can often point to damaged underground cables, a common local issue due to soil conditions and weather. It's important to have this checked promptly, as it can indicate a serious electrical fault. Ellis Electric's technicians are experienced in diagnosing and repairing these specific problems. We'll safely trace the circuit, identify if the issue is with your home's wiring or the incoming service, and provide a clear, durable repair solution to restore safe, stable power to your home.
Can Ellis Electric install an EV charging station at my home?
Yes, we are experienced in residential EV charging station installation. Our process begins with a thorough inspection of your home's electrical panel and service capacity to ensure it can support the new load safely. We handle the complete installation, including any necessary panel upgrades, running dedicated circuits, and mounting the charging unit. As licensed contractors serving Northwest Indiana, we ensure the installation meets all local codes and manufacturer specifications, so you can charge your vehicle reliably and safely.
Do you offer electrical inspections for older homes in the area?
Absolutely. Electrical inspections are a core service, especially for older homes in Northwest Indiana where wiring may be outdated. Our inspection covers your entire electrical system—panel, wiring, outlets, and grounding—to identify any safety hazards, code violations, or insufficient capacity for modern appliances. We provide a detailed report and transparent recommendations for any necessary repairs or upgrades, helping you improve safety and prepare your home for future electrical needs.
