Questions and Answers

My outlets in Columbia feel hot to the touch. Is this an emergency, and what do you do to fix it?

Yes, an overheated outlet is a serious fire hazard and should be addressed immediately. At Ellis Green's, we treat this as a priority. Our electricians will first safely disconnect power and perform a detailed inspection to find the cause—often loose wiring, a failing outlet, or an overloaded circuit. We then perform the necessary outlet repair or replacement, and may recommend upgrading your wiring or panel to prevent future risks, ensuring your home meets current safety standards.

My lights flicker, especially when I use an appliance. Can you find the cause and provide a lasting solution?

Absolutely. Flickering lights in Columbia homes often point to overloaded circuits, faulty fixtures, or loose connections. Our process starts with a complete electrical inspection to pinpoint the issue. We might repair or replace the problematic light fixture, outlet, or wiring. If the problem is due to an outdated electrical panel that can't handle modern loads, we can discuss generator installation or a panel upgrade to provide stable, safe power throughout your home.

I have both an electrical issue and a plumbing leak. Can Ellis Green's handle both in one visit?

Yes, we can. As a multi-trade service provider, we efficiently coordinate our electricians and plumbers. For example, if a leak near an electrical outlet causes a safety concern, our team can simultaneously repair the water pipe and inspect/repair the nearby electrical components. This integrated approach saves you time and ensures all repairs are completed safely and to code, protecting your Columbia home from cross-system hazards.
