FAQs
Why does my arc fault breaker keep tripping in my Lewiston home, and can R L Electric fix it?
Frequent AFCI trips are common in our area and often stem from faulty wiring, damaged cords, or even specific appliances. It's a crucial safety feature preventing electrical fires. R L Electric's expert electricians will perform a thorough inspection to pinpoint the exact cause—whether in a branch circuit or an appliance—and perform the necessary repair or replacement to stop the nuisance trips and keep your home safe.
My GFCI outlet in the bathroom or kitchen won't reset. Can you repair it, or do I need a full replacement?
Yes, we can help. GFCI failures in damp Lewiston areas are common due to age, moisture, or internal faults. Our technicians will first diagnose if the issue is with the outlet itself or a downstream problem. We can often repair the connection, but if the outlet is faulty, we'll efficiently replace it with a new, code-compliant GFCI to restore safe, reliable power to your kitchen, bathroom, or outdoor space.
If I'm having these recurring electrical issues, should I consider a full electrical inspection for my house?
Absolutely. Persistent problems like AFCI trips or GFCI failures can be symptoms of broader electrical concerns, especially in older Lewiston homes. R L Electric recommends a comprehensive electrical inspection. Our certified electricians will assess your entire system, identify any safety hazards or code violations, and provide a clear plan for repairs or upgrades. This proactive step ensures your electrical system is safe, reliable, and up to current standards.
