FAQs
We've had flickering lights and our attic is unfinished. Could this be a short circuit in the attic wiring, and how do you fix it?
Flickering lights, especially in older Kittrell homes, can definitely be a sign of aging or damaged attic wiring, which is prone to short circuits from heat, rodents, or insulation contact. Our process starts with a thorough safety inspection of your attic wiring and electrical panel. We then carefully replace the compromised sections with new, properly rated wiring, ensuring all connections are secure and up to current NEC codes to prevent future issues and fire hazards.
My outdoor outlet stopped working after the last rain. Is this corrosion, and what's the permanent repair?
Yes, outdoor outlet failure in our area is often due to corrosion from humidity and rain, which can create a serious shock or fire risk. We don't just replace the outlet. We'll install a new, weatherproof outlet rated for outdoor use (WR) and pair it with an In-Use Weatherproof Cover to seal it from the elements. For complete safety, we also recommend and can install a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to immediately cut power if moisture is detected.
If I'm concerned about my home's overall electrical safety due to these local issues, what should I start with—a panel inspection or a full wiring check?
For Kittrell homeowners concerned about recurring issues like shorts or corrosion, we recommend starting with a comprehensive electrical inspection. This gives us a complete picture. We'll check your electrical panel for proper capacity and signs of stress, inspect accessible wiring (including attic areas), and test all outlets, especially outdoors. This approach allows us to prioritize any immediate safety hazards, like a faulty panel or corroded wiring, and create a practical plan to address all concerns, from panel upgrades to wiring repairs.
