Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my electrical panel feel hot, and is this a common issue in Summerville homes?

Yes, electrical panel overheating is a frequent concern we see in the area, often due to older panels or increased modern electrical demands from air conditioning and appliances. A hot panel is a serious safety hazard. Our electricians can perform a thorough inspection to diagnose the cause, which may be loose connections, overloaded circuits, or an outdated panel. We provide expert repair or recommend a panel upgrade to a higher capacity model to ensure your home's safety and meet current electrical loads.

My generator isn't switching on during a power outage. Can you help with generator transfer switch issues?

Absolutely. Generator transfer switch problems are a common local issue we resolve. The switch is critical for safely connecting your generator to your home's electrical system. If it fails, your generator won't power your home. Our team at Miller Trades specializes in generator installation, repair, and transfer switch troubleshooting. We'll inspect the switch, wiring, and connections to identify the fault—whether it's a mechanical failure, wiring problem, or control issue—and perform the necessary repair to restore your backup power reliability.

Can upgrading my electrical panel help prevent overheating and support a new generator or EV charger?

Definitely. An outdated or undersized panel is a leading cause of overheating and can't safely support additional high-demand systems like a whole-house generator or EV charging station. Our electric panel installation and upgrade services are designed specifically for this. We install modern, higher-ampacity panels that distribute power more efficiently, eliminate overloads that cause heat, and provide the dedicated circuits needed for new installations. This upgrade is a foundational step for both safety and adding modern conveniences to your Summerville home.
