FAQs
After a power surge in Hermann, some of my appliances won't turn on. What should I check first?
First, check your circuit breakers at the main panel. A power surge often trips them to protect your wiring. If resetting the breaker doesn't work, the surge may have damaged a specific outlet or the appliance itself. Our electricians can diagnose the issue, safely repair any damaged outlets or wiring, and install surge protectors at your panel to prevent future appliance damage common in our area.
I'm worried about short circuits in my attic wiring. What are the signs, and how can you help?
Signs include frequently tripped breakers, flickering lights, or a burning smell near the attic. Older homes in Hermann can have attic wiring compromised by rodents or heat. We perform thorough electrical inspections, including attic spaces. Our services include safe wire repair or replacement, upgrading your electrical panel for better safety, and installing new, properly protected wiring to eliminate fire hazards.
My septic system is backing up after heavy rain. Is this related to my home's electrical pump or the septic tank?
It could be either. Heavy rain can saturate your drain field, but it can also cause electrical issues for a septic pump if wiring or the outlet is compromised. As experts in both septic and electrical systems, we can inspect the entire system. We'll check for tank or drain field issues, clean the system if needed, and ensure the pump's electrical connections, switch, and circuit are functioning correctly to get everything flowing properly again.
