Q&A

My lights in Goodrich keep flickering. Could this be a loose connection, and what should I do?

Yes, flickering lights are a classic sign of a loose electrical connection, a common issue in our area that can lead to arcing and fire hazards. Don't ignore it. Contact Mitchell Electric for a professional electrical inspection. Our electricians will safely diagnose the problem, often at the switch, outlet, or within the fixture, and perform the necessary repair to secure the connection and restore safe, stable power to your home.

My arc fault breaker trips frequently. Do I need a repair or a replacement?

Frequent arc fault (AFCI) breaker trips in Goodrich homes are often a nuisance, but they're signaling a potential problem. While sometimes it's a faulty appliance, it can indicate a dangerous wiring issue like a loose connection. Our electricians will first perform diagnostic testing to pinpoint the cause. The solution may be a simple repair to the wiring, a replacement of the specific breaker if it's defective, or an upgrade of your electrical panel. We'll find the right fix to keep your home's AFCI protection working correctly without the constant trips.

Can installing a whole-house generator prevent problems from loose connections during a power outage?

A generator provides essential backup power, but it's important to understand its role. While a professionally installed generator by Mitchell Electric will keep your lights on during an outage, it does not fix existing loose connections. In fact, powering a circuit with a faulty connection via a generator can be risky. We recommend a complete electrical inspection and any necessary repairs before generator installation. This ensures your entire system, from the utility connection to your backup power, is safe and reliable for your Goodrich home.
