Common Questions
Why is an electrical inspection important for my Upper Darby home?
An inspection is a crucial safety check, especially in older homes common to our area. Our licensed electricians assess your entire system for wear, code compliance, and potential hazards like outdated wiring or overloaded circuits. This proactive step can prevent electrical fires, ensure your family's safety, and identify issues—like frequently tripping arc fault breakers—before they become major problems. It's also often required for home sales, remodels, or before adding major new appliances.
My AFCI breaker keeps tripping. Can you help diagnose why?
Absolutely. Arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) breaker trips are a common issue we address in Upper Darby. While they are vital safety devices that prevent fires, nuisance trips can be frustrating. We systematically diagnose the cause, which is often due to aged wiring, a faulty appliance, or an overloaded circuit—sometimes stemming from previous DIY work. We'll find the root cause, make the necessary repairs or upgrades, and ensure your breakers function correctly to protect your home without unnecessary interruptions.
What's involved in your 100 to 400 AMP service panel upgrade?
Upgrading your electrical service panel is essential for modern power demands and safety. We replace your old fuse box or outdated panel with a new, state-of-the-art circuit breaker panel that meets current codes. This process involves coordinating with your utility company, installing a new meter socket and mast if needed, and carefully transferring your home's circuits. The result is a safer system with increased capacity for today's appliances, computers, and home additions, all backed by our 30+ years of experience in proper installation.
