Common Questions
My lights flicker during storms in Smyrna. Could this be a grounding or surge issue, and how can Express Electric help?
Flickering lights during storms often point to inadequate grounding or a lack of proper surge protection, common issues in our area. Our electricians perform thorough electrical inspections to diagnose faulty grounding systems. We can then repair or upgrade your electric panel and grounding to meet code, and install whole-house surge protectors. This shields your entire home's wiring and appliances from lightning-induced power surges, giving you peace of mind during our intense Tennessee weather.
I'm considering an EV charger or generator installation. How does Express Electric address Smyrna's specific electrical concerns with these upgrades?
Both EV chargers and generators place significant new demands on your home's electrical system. Before installation, our experts will evaluate your existing electric panel and grounding—critical given Smyrna's propensity for grounding issues. We ensure your panel can handle the added load and is properly grounded for safety. For generators, we also integrate transfer switches with surge protection to prevent back-feeding and shield your home during power restoration surges, a common cause of damage here.
My outlets are dead or my circuit breaker keeps tripping. Is this related to the local problem of improper grounding?
Frequently, yes. Faulty grounding can cause erratic circuit behavior, including dead outlets and nuisance tripping. It's a safety hazard. Express Electric's technicians are skilled in tracing these issues back to the source. We'll repair or replace damaged wiring and outlets, and thoroughly inspect your circuit breaker panel and overall grounding system. Correcting the root grounding problem not only resolves the immediate annoyance but also protects your family and home from electrical shock and fire risks prevalent in older Smyrna homes.
