Questions and Answers

Why does my arc fault breaker keep tripping after I did some wiring myself?

Arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) are highly sensitive safety devices designed to detect dangerous electrical arcs. DIY wiring, even if it seems to work initially, often involves loose connections, nicked wires, or improper splicing that can create these arcs. Our electricians perform detailed inspections to locate the source of the nuisance trip and correct the wiring to ensure it's safe and meets code, preventing potential fire hazards.

What does a professional electrical inspection cover that I might miss after a DIY repair?

A professional inspection goes far beyond checking if the lights turn on. Our licensed electricians examine the entire circuit for proper grounding, secure connections within boxes, correct wire gauges, and compliance with the National Electrical Code. We identify hidden issues like overloaded circuits, improper panel connections, or damaged insulation that DIYers often overlook, which are common culprits behind the electrical problems we see in Kettle River homes.

We'll assess the existing work, explain any hazards we find, and provide a clear plan to bring everything up to current safety standards. This not only resolves immediate issues like breaker trips but also protects your home and family, and ensures your electrical system will pass any future inspections for insurance or a sale.
