Questions and Answers
What is included in a professional electrical inspection from RKO Electric?
Our thorough electrical inspection is designed to give Bangor homeowners peace of mind. We meticulously check your home's entire electrical system, including the main service panel, wiring, outlets, and grounding. We identify potential safety hazards like overloaded circuits, outdated components, or improper installations. For older Bangor homes, we pay special attention to wiring that may no longer meet modern electrical demands, providing you with a clear, prioritized report on any necessary repairs or updates to ensure your home is safe and efficient.
My circuit breaker keeps tripping in my Bangor home. Is this a common issue you handle?
Yes, dealing with a frequently tripping breaker is a very common call we receive. In many Bangor homes, this is often a sign of a breaker panel overload. As families add more appliances and devices, the original electrical panel can become overwhelmed. Our licensed electricians diagnose the root cause, which could be an overloaded circuit, a faulty breaker, or underlying wiring issues. We then provide a reliable solution, which may involve redistributing the electrical load, repairing faulty wiring, or, if needed, upgrading your electrical panel to safely handle your home's current power needs.
I've heard about damaged underground service cables in the area. Can RKO Electric help with that?
Absolutely. Damaged underground electrical cables are a significant concern for many property owners in the Bangor region, especially given our climate and soil conditions. This damage can lead to partial power loss, flickering lights, or complete outages. Our experienced team is equipped to safely diagnose underground cable faults. We locate the damage with specialized equipment and perform the necessary trenching and repair or replacement of the service cable, restoring safe and consistent power to your home while adhering to all local codes and safety standards.
