FAQs
Why are short circuits in my Spokane attic a common issue, and how can Hopkins Electric help?
In our area, attic wiring is often compromised by rodents seeking shelter or by aging insulation rubbing on wires. This can lead to dangerous short circuits and fire hazards. Hopkins Electric provides thorough electrical inspections to identify damaged attic wiring. Our team then performs safe wire repair or replacement, often adding protective conduit to prevent future issues, ensuring your home meets local safety codes.
My outdoor outlets have stopped working. Could corrosion be the problem, and what's the repair process?
Yes, Spokane's freeze-thaw cycles and moisture can quickly corrode outdoor outlets, causing failure or creating a shock risk. Hopkins Electric addresses this by first inspecting the outlet and wiring for damage. We then replace the corroded components with new, weather-resistant (WR) outlet boxes and GFCI outlets, which are required by code for outdoor safety, restoring safe, reliable power to your patio, yard, or exterior lighting.
I need a generator installed for Spokane's power outages. Does that involve upgrading my electrical panel?
Often, yes. Adding a generator, especially a whole-home standby unit, typically requires a new circuit and a transfer switch, which may overload an older panel. Hopkins Electric's experts will assess your current electric panel during a consultation. We can handle the complete installation: upgrading your panel if needed, installing the proper generator circuit, and setting up the automatic transfer switch, giving you seamless backup power during our Inland Northwest storms.
