Q&A
What should I do if my GFCI outlets in the kitchen or bathroom keep tripping in my Durham home?
Frequent GFCI trips are a common issue in Durham homes, often due to moisture, aging outlets, or hidden wiring faults. At Ortega and Son, we start with a thorough inspection to diagnose the root cause—whether it's a faulty outlet itself, a problem with the connected appliance, or underlying attic wiring. Our 20+ years of experience with local home electrical systems allows us to efficiently resolve these failures, ensuring your home's safety and restoring full functionality to your kitchens and bathrooms.
Can you handle both the carpentry and electrical work for a ceiling fan or new light fixture installation?
Absolutely. As a combined carpentry and electrical service, we provide a seamless solution. We ensure the structural integrity of the mounting location and handle all the precise wiring and connections. This integrated approach, honed over thousands of installations, means your new ceiling fan or light fixture is installed correctly, safely, and securely from the support inside the wall to the switch on the plate.
Do you offer electrical panel upgrades or installations for older homes in Durham?
Yes, we specialize in electric panel services, which are crucial for the safety and capacity of older Durham homes. Whether you're adding a high-demand appliance, a garage workshop circuit, or simply need to replace an outdated and potentially unsafe panel, our team performs the installation with a focus on current code compliance and future reliability. We can also integrate this upgrade with other projects, like kitchen remodels or outdoor lighting systems.
