Frequently Asked Questions
My electric meter feels hot to the touch. Is this a common problem in Phoenix, and what should I do?
Yes, electrical meter overheating is a frequent issue in our Phoenix climate due to sustained high temperatures and increased energy demand, especially with AC use. This is a serious safety concern. We recommend turning off non-essential power at your main panel and contacting us immediately. Our electricians can perform a thorough electric inspection, assess the meter base and panel connections, and provide the necessary repairs or upgrades to your electric panel to ensure safe operation and prevent potential fire hazards.
I keep tripping a breaker in my attic. Could this be related to the common short circuit issues in Phoenix attics?
Absolutely. Phoenix attics experience extreme temperature swings, which can degrade wire insulation over time, leading to short circuits. A persistently tripping circuit breaker in that area is a key warning sign. Our service includes expert wire repair and circuit breaker repair to locate the fault. We'll inspect the attic wiring for damage, replace compromised sections, and ensure your circuit breaker is properly rated to handle the load safely, preventing further nuisance trips and fire risks.
Can upgrading my electrical panel help prevent common local issues like meter overheating?
Yes, a modern, properly sized electric panel is a foundational defense against problems like meter overheating. An outdated or overloaded panel can cause excessive heat at the main connections and meter. Gama specializes in electric panel installation and repair. We can upgrade your system to a higher capacity panel with improved safety features, ensuring all connections are secure and capable of handling Phoenix's electrical loads. This upgrade often resolves overheating issues and provides a safer, more reliable base for your entire home's electrical system.
