Yes, overheated outlets are a serious fire hazard, especially in older homes with outdated wiring. This often indicates overloaded circuits, loose connections, or failing wiring. Fox Electric can perform a thorough electrical inspection to diagnose the root cause. We typically repair or replace the faulty outlets and wiring, and may recommend upgrading your electrical panel to safely handle modern power demands, ensuring your home's safety.

Common signs include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering lights, a burning smell from the panel, or buzzing sounds. In many older Lakeside homes, original panels are not designed for today's appliance loads, leading to short circuits and overheating. Fox Electric can inspect your panel, perform necessary repairs, or install a new, higher-capacity panel to improve safety and prevent electrical issues.

We often complete the installation by upgrading the circuit, installing a dedicated outlet, and setting up the charging unit, ensuring your system can handle the new load without risk of overload or short circuits.
