Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my arc fault breaker keep tripping in my older Hobart home?
In many older Hobart homes, aging wiring, worn insulation, or appliances like vacuums or power tools can create small electrical arcs that these sensitive breakers are designed to detect. Our electrical inspection can pinpoint the exact cause, whether it's a specific circuit, a faulty device, or wiring that needs updating, and we'll provide a clear solution to restore reliable power.
Can an electrical inspection find hidden short circuits?
Absolutely. Short circuits in older wiring can be intermittent or hidden behind walls, posing a fire risk. Our comprehensive electrical inspection uses specialized testing equipment to identify the location and cause of short circuits, grounding issues, and other faults. We provide a detailed report and recommend the necessary repairs to make your home safe.
What should I do if my lights flicker after an arc fault breaker trips?
Flickering lights after a trip can indicate a loose connection or damaged wire on that circuit, which is a common issue in older homes. It's important not to repeatedly reset the breaker. Contact us for an inspection. We'll safely diagnose the problem, often starting at the breaker panel and outlets on that circuit, to fix the underlying fault and prevent further issues.
