Frequently Asked Questions
As a Camden homeowner, my lights sometimes flicker. Is this a serious issue?
Flickering lights in our coastal area can signal a few things. Often, it's a simple fix like a loose bulb or fixture. However, it can also point to more concerning issues like faulty wiring, an overloaded circuit, or—common for our region—corrosion in connections due to salt air. Our licensed electricians start with a thorough inspection to diagnose the root cause safely. We check your panel, connections, and wiring integrity to ensure your home's electrical system is not just working, but is safe and resilient against local environmental factors.
I'm considering an electric vehicle. Can Marks Electric install a home charging station?
Absolutely. We are experienced in installing Level 2 EV charging stations for homes in the Camden area. Our master electrician will assess your home's electrical panel capacity to ensure it can support the new load safely and efficiently. We handle the entire process—from obtaining any necessary permits to the professional installation of the dedicated circuit and charger—ensuring your station is ready for reliable, daily use. It's a smart upgrade that adds convenience and value to your property.
What's involved in a routine electrical inspection for an older home?
A routine inspection is a proactive step for safety and peace of mind. Our electricians will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your system. This includes checking your electrical panel for proper amperage and any signs of wear, testing outlets and GFCIs (crucial in kitchens and bathrooms), ensuring proper grounding, and inspecting visible wiring and connections. For older homes, we pay special attention to the condition of wiring insulation and look for any outdated components that may not meet current safety standards. We provide a clear report of our findings and honest recommendations for any repairs or updates needed.
