Murphy Family Electric - Knoxville's Licensed Electrical Contractor

Flickering lights in our area are often a sign of a compromised electrical connection, which can be worsened by storm-related power surges. The issue could stem from a loose wire, a faulty circuit breaker, or an overloaded electrical panel. Murphy Family Electric will perform a thorough inspection to pinpoint the exact cause. We can then repair or replace the problematic breaker, secure wiring connections, or upgrade your panel to ensure stable, safe power throughout your home.

A breaker that trips repeatedly is a safety mechanism alerting you to a problem, such as a short circuit, ground fault, or an overloaded circuit that may have been aggravated by the storm. It's important not to force it. For your safety, call Murphy Family Electric. Our electricians will safely diagnose the issue, which could involve repairing damaged wiring connected to the breaker, replacing the faulty breaker itself, or addressing a problem within your electrical panel to restore safe, reliable operation.

A professional electrical inspection by Murphy Family Electric is a proactive step to safeguard your home. We'll assess your entire system, including the main panel, breakers, wiring, and grounding, for any weaknesses or code violations that could fail during a storm. Based on our findings, we might recommend upgrades like installing whole-house surge protection at your electric panel, replacing outdated breakers with modern AFCI/GFCI models, or repairing worn wiring. These measures significantly reduce the risk of fire, damage to appliances, and prolonged outages.
