Common Questions
Why do my outdoor or bathroom outlets keep tripping in Afton?
This is a common issue in our area, often due to humidity and water intrusion affecting GFCI outlets. A tripping GFCI is a safety feature, but frequent trips indicate a problem. Garrett Electric can perform an electrical inspection to locate the moisture source, properly repair or replace the faulty outlet, and ensure your outdoor and wet-area circuits are correctly protected to prevent future failures.
Can you install outdoor lighting that handles Afton's weather?
Absolutely. We specialize in outdoor lighting installation using fixtures and wiring methods specifically rated for wet/damp locations common in Afton. Our service includes ensuring proper grounding and GFCI protection to prevent issues from rain and humidity, so your landscape or security lighting is both beautiful and durable for the long term.
I see sparks or discoloration at an outlet. Is this urgent?
Yes, this should be addressed immediately. Sparks or discoloration (often a brownish mark) can indicate arcing due to water damage or a loose connection, which are fire hazards. Do not use the outlet. Call Garrett Electric for prompt electrical repair.
