Q&A

My circuit breaker panel feels warm to the touch. Is this an emergency, and what does an electrical inspection involve?

A warm electrical panel can indicate a serious issue, like loose connections or overloaded circuits, which are common in older Scranton homes. It's important to have it inspected promptly. Our inspection includes checking for proper amperage, testing all connections for tightness and corrosion, and evaluating the overall load on your system to identify the cause of the overheating and recommend a safe solution.

I'm having problems with lights flickering in my attic. Could this be a short circuit, and how do you safely access and repair attic wiring?

Flickering lights, especially in the attic, are a classic sign of a potential short circuit or faulty connection in often-inaccessible wiring. We safely navigate attic spaces to locate the problem section. Repair typically involves isolating the faulty circuit, replacing damaged wire, and securing all connections in approved junction boxes to prevent future issues and fire hazards common in Scranton's older home attics.

Will a standard electrical inspection check for both panel issues and attic wiring problems?

Yes, a comprehensive electrical inspection from our team covers the entire system. We start at the service panel to assess its condition and capacity—key for overheating issues—and then methodically check branch circuits, including those running to and through the attic. This whole-house approach is crucial in Scranton to identify interconnected problems, like an overloaded panel contributing to overheating wires in the attic.
