Common Questions

My attic lights are flickering or my breaker trips when I use them. Could this be a short circuit in the attic wiring, and how can Merilla Electric help?

Yes, flickering lights and frequent breaker trips in areas like your attic are classic signs of a short circuit or faulty wiring, a common issue in Longview homes due to aging insulation or rodent damage. Merilla Electric can perform a thorough electric inspection of your attic wiring, identify the exact fault, and perform the necessary wire repair or replacement. We'll ensure the circuit is safely restored and up to current electrical codes, preventing potential fire hazards and restoring reliable power to your home.

I'm planning to install a Level 2 EV charger at home in Longview. How do I prevent my electrical panel from overloading?

Preventing overload is crucial for safely adding an EV charger. Many older Longview homes have panels not designed for this high, continuous load. Merilla Electric will start with an electric inspection of your current panel and home's power usage. We often recommend and can perform an electric panel installation or upgrade to provide the dedicated circuit and increased capacity your new EV charging station requires. This ensures safe, efficient charging without tripping breakers or risking damage to your home's electrical system.

My circuit breaker keeps tripping after I've added several new appliances. Is a simple repair enough, or do I need a new panel?

Frequent tripping, especially after adding load, often indicates your panel is at or over capacity, which is a safety feature to prevent overheating. While Merilla Electric can certainly handle circuit breaker repair, our first step is a professional electric inspection to assess the overall health and capacity of your system. For many Longview homeowners, the safest and most long-term solution is an electric panel installation or upgrade. This gives you the modern capacity needed for today's electrical demands, solving the immediate tripping issue and providing a safe foundation for future needs.
