Emmert electric and mechanical - Priest River's Qualified Electricians

Flickering lights are a classic sign of the loose electrical connections or overloaded circuits common in our area. Loose wiring at an outlet, switch, or within your breaker panel can cause arcing and pose a fire hazard. An overloaded panel from added appliances or outdated wiring can also be the culprit. We recommend a professional electrical inspection. Our electricians will check your connections, test your panel's capacity, and provide a clear solution, whether it's a simple repair, a circuit upgrade, or a panel replacement to ensure your home's safety.

Frequent tripping is often a symptom of an overloaded breaker panel, especially in older homes not designed for today's electrical loads. While a one-time reset is okay, repeatedly resetting a breaker ignores a safety warning and can damage the breaker or wiring. The issue could be a single overloaded circuit, a faulty appliance, or a panel that needs an upgrade to handle your home's demands. Our electricians can diagnose the root cause—checking for loose connections at the breaker, assessing your overall load, and recommending a repair or a new panel installation to provide safe, reliable power.

Absolutely. Given our local power outages from winter weather, a backup generator is a smart investment. We provide complete generator services, starting with an assessment of your home's electrical panel and critical circuits. We'll ensure your panel can safely handle the generator connection, often installing a dedicated transfer switch to prevent back-feeding power to the grid, which protects utility workers. From selecting the right unit to professional installation and ongoing maintenance, we make sure your generator is ready to automatically power your essentials when you need it most.
