Frequently Asked Questions
My lights in my DC row house flicker occasionally. What could be causing this?
Flickering lights in older Washington, DC homes are often a sign of loose electrical connections, a common issue we address. Over time, connections in outlets, switches, or within the electrical panel can degrade, creating a fire hazard and power instability. As a licensed company established in 1986, we specialize in troubleshooting and repairing these precise problems. Our electricians will safely diagnose the source of the flickering—whether it's at the fixture, in the wiring, or at the panel—and perform the necessary repairs to restore safe, stable power to your home.
Why would I need an electrical service upgrade or new panel installation?
Many homes in the DC area, especially those undergoing renovation or adding high-demand appliances like EV chargers and generators, have older electrical systems that can't safely handle modern power needs. An upgrade from a 100-amp to a 200-amp service, or a new panel installation, increases your home's capacity and safety. It prevents overloaded circuits, reduces fire risk, and ensures reliable operation for all your devices. Since 1986, Harris Electric has specialized in these upgrades, ensuring they meet current code and provide a solid foundation for your home's electrical system for years to come.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency service for electrical repairs?
Yes, we provide 24-hour emergency electrical service. Electrical problems don't keep business hours, and a sudden loss of power or a burning smell can be dangerous. Our family-owned company has offered round-the-clock emergency support for decades because we understand the urgency. When you call, our licensed electricians will respond promptly to diagnose and resolve the issue, whether it's a tripped breaker, faulty wiring, or a malfunctioning panel, getting your home or business in Washington, DC back to safe, normal operation as quickly as possible.
