Common Questions
My lights in my Dover home keep flickering. What should I do?
Flickering lights are a common issue in our area and can indicate anything from a loose bulb to a more serious wiring problem. It's important not to ignore it. Macknett's Electric recommends starting with a simple bulb check, but if the problem persists, our electricians can perform a thorough electrical inspection. We'll safely diagnose the root cause, which is often a faulty connection or an overloaded circuit, and provide a reliable repair to eliminate the flicker and ensure your home's safety.
I suspect water got into an outdoor electrical box after a storm. Can you help?
Absolutely. Water damage to electrical boxes is a serious safety hazard and requires immediate attention from a licensed professional. Our team at Macknett's Electric is experienced in handling water-damaged electrical systems common in the Dover climate. We will safely assess the damage, perform any necessary electrical repair or replacement of components, and ensure the installation is properly sealed and up to current code to prevent future issues and protect your home.
Can you install a new light fixture and make sure it's done safely, especially if I've had previous electrical issues?
Yes, our light fixture installation service is perfect for homeowners who want both aesthetic upgrade and electrical peace of mind. Our electricians don't just mount the fixture; we ensure the electrical box and wiring behind the wall are sound and safe to support it. If we find any underlying issues, like evidence of past water damage or faulty wiring that could cause flickering, we'll discuss repair options with you. This comprehensive approach ensures your new fixture is beautiful, functional, and installed with the highest safety standards.
