Questions and Answers

Why are my outlets in Durham feeling hot to the touch, and what should I do?

Overheated outlets are a common and serious safety concern in older Durham homes, often caused by outdated wiring, loose connections, or circuits overloaded with modern appliances. This can lead to electrical fires. Immediately unplug any devices from the hot outlet and avoid using it. Contact JAD Electric for a prompt safety inspection. Our electricians will diagnose the root cause, which may involve repairing faulty wiring, tightening connections, or upgrading the circuit to handle your home's electrical demands safely.

My power keeps flickering. Could this be a problem with underground cables in Durham?

Yes, intermittent flickering or complete loss of power to parts of your home is a classic symptom of damaged underground service cables, a frequent issue in our area due to soil conditions and aging infrastructure. This requires immediate professional attention. JAD Electric performs thorough diagnostic testing to locate the fault. We then expertly repair or replace the damaged underground section, restoring stable and reliable power to your property while ensuring all work meets local code requirements for burial depth and protection.

How can a whole-house generator from JAD Electric protect my Durham home from frequent outages?

A professionally installed automatic standby generator from JAD Electric provides seamless backup power during outages caused by storms, grid issues, or local cable failures. Unlike portable units, it automatically kicks in within seconds, keeping your lights, sump pump, HVAC, and refrigerator running. Our installation includes a full assessment of your home's electrical load, proper placement, and integration with your existing electrical panel. This ensures safety, reliability, and peace of mind, protecting your family and property during Durham's unpredictable weather and infrastructure challenges.
