Common Questions
What should I do if my lights are flickering or my AFCI breaker keeps tripping in my Chepachet home?
Flickering lights and nuisance tripping of arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) are common issues we see in older Rhode Island homes, often due to aging wiring or overloaded circuits. As a first step, unplug devices from the affected circuit. If the problem persists, it's important to have it inspected. Gilbert Electric can diagnose the root cause—whether it's a faulty connection, a compromised wire, or an overloaded circuit—and perform the necessary repair or upgrade to restore safe, reliable power to your home.
Do you handle electrical inspections for home sales or renovations?
Yes, we provide thorough electrical inspections, which are a critical step for home buyers, sellers, or before undertaking major renovations in Chepachet. Our certified electricians will assess your entire electrical system, including the service panel, wiring, outlets, and grounding, to ensure it meets current National Electrical Code (NEC) standards and is safe for your family. We provide a detailed report of our findings and can handle any necessary repairs or upgrades to bring your system up to code.
Can you install new light fixtures, including recessed lighting?
Absolutely. We specialize in light fixture installation and repair, including modern recessed lighting that can enhance both the ambiance and functionality of your home. Our team will ensure the installation is performed safely, with proper wiring and support, whether you're updating a single fixture or installing a whole-house lighting system. We can also help you choose energy-efficient LED options to reduce your long-term energy costs.
