Common Questions
My older Dexter home's lights flicker when I use an appliance. Could this be a short circuit or panel issue?
Yes, flickering lights in older homes are often a sign of an overloaded circuit or a failing connection in the electrical panel. This is a common issue we see in Dexter. Hartman Electric can perform a thorough electrical inspection to identify the root cause, which could range from outdated wiring to a faulty circuit breaker. We'll then recommend and perform the necessary repair or panel upgrade to restore safe, reliable power to your home.
I want to install smart light switches and a doorbell, but my wiring is old. Can you help integrate new technology safely?
Absolutely. Integrating smart home devices into older wiring systems is a specialty of ours. We start by assessing your current wiring during an electric inspection to ensure it can support the new load and communication protocols. We then handle the proper wire installation or repair needed for devices like smart doorbells and light fixtures, ensuring everything is grounded, code-compliant, and functions seamlessly with your home's existing electrical framework.
With frequent storms in Maine, should I consider a generator installation for my Dexter home?
Given our local weather, a generator is an excellent investment for peace of mind and safety. Hartman Electric offers professional generator installation services, ensuring your automatic or manual standby unit is properly connected to your home's electrical panel via a safe transfer switch. This prevents dangerous backfeed into the grid and protects your home's circuits. We also provide generator repair services to keep your system ready for any outage.
