Q&A

After a hurricane causes electrical damage to my New Bern home, what are the first steps I should take and what can your electricians repair?

Safety first: if you suspect major damage, avoid wet areas and contact us immediately. Our team specializes in post-storm electrical recovery. We can repair storm-damaged wiring, circuit breakers, and electrical panels, and perform a full safety inspection to identify hidden issues from water or surges. We'll get your power safely restored and help prevent future problems.

How can a whole-house generator from Old North State Electric protect my home during a New Bern hurricane or severe thunderstorm?

A professionally installed standby generator automatically kicks in when the grid power fails, keeping your lights, sump pumps, and refrigerators running. This is crucial during our frequent coastal storms. We handle the entire process—from selecting the right unit for your home's needs to expert installation and ongoing repair service—ensuring you have reliable backup power when you need it most.

My lights flickered after a recent lightning storm. Is this a serious issue, and what electrical inspection or repair services do you offer?

Flickering lights after a lightning strike can indicate a damaged circuit breaker, faulty wiring, or a compromised electrical panel—all serious safety hazards. We recommend a prompt electrical inspection. Our electricians will check your panel, breakers, and wiring for surge damage and make necessary repairs to prevent potential fire risks and ensure your home's electrical system is safe and stable.
