Q&A

After a storm in Durham, my outlets aren't working. Could this be lightning surge damage?

Yes, lightning strikes near Durham can send power surges through lines, damaging wiring and outlets. Our electric inspection service can safely diagnose the extent of the surge damage. We'll repair or replace affected components and often recommend installing whole-home surge protectors to safeguard your system from future storms.

My outdoor lights are flickering. Is this related to damaged underground cables, which are common here?

Flickering outdoor lights are a classic sign of failing underground cable, especially in areas with older infrastructure or shifting soil. Our electric repair service includes trenching to locate and replace the damaged section with new, durable cable rated for direct burial, restoring safe and reliable power to your exterior lighting.

How can a generator installation help with frequent Durham power outages from severe weather?

A professionally installed backup generator from Flash Electric provides automatic power during outages caused by thunderstorms or wind. We ensure your generator is correctly sized, wired into your home's electrical panel with a transfer switch, and compliant with local codes. This keeps essential systems like sump pumps, refrigeration, and security lighting running seamlessly until grid power is restored.
