Questions and Answers
My home's outlets are getting hot to the touch. Is this a common issue in Beaufort homes, and how can Olde Towne Electric help?
Yes, overheated outlets are a frequent concern in our area, often due to older wiring or increased demand from modern appliances. This is a serious safety hazard. Olde Towne Electric can diagnose the cause, which may involve circuit overload, faulty wiring, or outdated outlets. We provide safe, code-compliant repairs or upgrades, such as installing new outlets or updating your electrical panel, to ensure your home's system is safe and reliable for Beaufort's climate and usage patterns.
We're considering a generator for storm season. What does your installation service include?
Our generator installation is comprehensive, focusing on safety and reliability. A critical part of the process is the proper installation and configuration of the automatic transfer switch, which safely connects your generator to your home's electrical panel when the power goes out. As a family-owned business with over four decades of combined electrical experience, we ensure the entire system is installed to code, tested thoroughly, and explained to you, so you have peace of mind during Beaufort's weather events.
