Frequently Asked Questions

My home in Opelika has frequent flickering lights during thunderstorms. Can you help?

Yes, this is a common issue in our area often caused by loose connections, aging outdoor service components, or an overloaded panel. We can perform a thorough electrical inspection to pinpoint the cause. Solutions may include securing connections, upgrading your outdoor service entrance, or installing a new circuit breaker panel to handle your home's demands safely and reduce outage risks.

What's involved in upgrading an old fuse box to a modern circuit breaker panel?

Upgrading from fuses to breakers enhances safety and capacity for modern appliances. Our process starts with an inspection of your existing wiring and service. We then install a new panel with ample circuit spaces and proper safety breakers, ensuring all work meets current electrical codes. This upgrade often resolves issues like frequently blown fuses and prepares your home for added circuits or a standby generator.

Do you install standby generators for homes in Opelika?

Absolutely. We specialize in installing and wiring residential standby generators with automatic transfer switches. This system automatically provides backup power to your essential circuits if the main grid fails, which is especially valuable during our storm season. We handle the full installation, from the generator pad and fuel connection to integrating the transfer switch with your home's electrical panel for seamless operation.
