Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in a standard electrical inspection for a Lewes home?

Our electrical inspection for Lewes homes is thorough and safety-focused. We check your entire electrical system, including the main panel, wiring, outlets, and switches, ensuring everything is up to current National Electrical Code standards. Given our coastal climate, we pay special attention to GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas to confirm they are functioning correctly to prevent shock hazards. We also look for any signs of wear, corrosion, or potential rodent damage that can be common in the area, providing you with a clear assessment and recommended next steps.

Why might my outdoor or bathroom outlets keep tripping in Lewes?

This is a frequent issue for homes in Lewes due to our humid, salty air. GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets, which are required in wet locations, are designed to trip and cut power if they detect a ground fault to prevent electrocution. Over time, moisture and salt corrosion can cause these sensitive outlets to trip more easily or fail. At Kane Electric, we can diagnose whether the issue is with the specific outlet, the wiring leading to it, or another part of the circuit. We then replace any faulty components with new, weather-resistant GFCI outlets rated for coastal environments to restore safe, reliable power.

Can you handle the electrical work for a new generator installation?

Yes, generator installation is a core service we provide. We handle the complete process, from helping you select an appropriately sized unit for your Lewes home to performing the critical electrical hookup. This includes installing a proper transfer switch, which safely connects the generator to your home's electrical panel and prevents dangerous backfeed into the utility lines. Our licensed electricians ensure the installation meets all local codes and manufacturer specifications, giving you peace of mind and reliable backup power during outages, which is especially valuable for coastal storms.
