FAQs

In Rocky Point, rodents chewing wires are a common problem. What should I do if I suspect this damage, and how do you repair it?

If you notice flickering lights, frequent breaker trips, or a burning smell, rodent damage is a likely cause here in Rocky Point. It's crucial to address it immediately for safety. RB Electric & Son will first safely inspect the affected circuits. We then remove and replace all compromised wiring, often recommending protective conduit or rodent-deterrent methods for vulnerable areas to prevent future issues common in our local environment.

Water got into an outdoor outlet at my Rocky Point home. Can you repair it, and how can we prevent it from happening again?

Absolutely. Water intrusion is a serious hazard that can lead to shock or fire. We'll first ensure the circuit is safe, then replace the damaged outlet with a new, weather-resistant (WR) GFCI outlet, which is required by code for outdoor areas in Rocky Point. We also seal the conduit and box to prevent future moisture entry, a key step given our local weather conditions, and check for any related damage to the internal wiring.

My circuit breaker keeps tripping, possibly due to old wiring or local rodent issues. Do I need a repair or a full panel upgrade?

Frequent tripping in Rocky Point homes often stems from aging systems, overloaded circuits, or the rodent damage we see locally. Our expert electricians will diagnose the root cause. Often, a repair to a specific circuit or wire is sufficient. However, if your panel is outdated or undersized for modern needs, we may recommend an upgrade to a new electric panel. This not only resolves the immediate issue but also enhances safety and capacity for your entire home.
