Questions and Answers
My home's outdoor lights keep tripping the breaker. Could this be a damaged underground cable, and how do you diagnose it?
This is a common issue we see in Manchester, often related to older underground wiring or damage from landscaping. We start with a thorough electrical inspection, using specialized equipment to safely trace the circuit and locate any faults in the buried cable. Our process is non-invasive where possible, and we'll provide a clear explanation and repair plan, which may involve repairing or replacing the damaged section to restore safe, reliable power to your outdoor fixtures.
What's involved in a home standby generator installation from Jaco Electric?
As a certified Generac dealer, we handle the entire process. It begins with a site consultation to determine your home's power needs and the optimal generator placement. Our licensed team then manages the installation, which includes setting the unit on a proper pad, connecting it to your home's natural gas or propane line, installing a automatic transfer switch, and integrating it with your electrical panel. We ensure the installation meets all local codes and provide a full demonstration so you're confident in operating your new backup power system.
My electrical panel is old and full. Do I need a full panel replacement or just an upgrade?
This depends on the condition of your existing panel and your home's current and future electrical needs. During an inspection, we'll assess the panel's age, wiring, and capacity. A simple upgrade might add more breaker spaces, but older panels or those with safety concerns often require a full replacement with a modern, higher-capacity unit. We'll explain our findings and recommend the most effective and code-compliant solution to ensure your Manchester home's electrical system is safe and can handle modern appliances and devices.
