Frequently Asked Questions
What does a standard electrical inspection from Rock Electric cover in my Homestead home?
Our electric inspection is a comprehensive review of your home's electrical system. We check your panel box, breakers, wiring, and all outlets and switches for safety, proper function, and code compliance. Given the prevalence of aging wiring in many Homestead homes, we pay special attention to the condition of your existing wiring and the security of all connections to identify potential hazards like loose wires that can lead to arcing or power outages.
I'm experiencing flickering lights and some outlets don't work. Could this be a loose connection?
Yes, absolutely. Loose electrical connections are a common issue, especially in older homes, and are a primary cause of flickering lights, intermittent power, and dead outlets. These faults can also create heat and become fire hazards. Our technicians are experienced in troubleshooting these specific problems in Homestead-area homes. We systematically trace the circuit, tighten all connections, and replace any damaged wiring or devices to restore safe, consistent power.
My electric panel is old. When should I consider an upgrade, and what does that involve?
You should consider an upgrade if your panel is over 20-30 years old, uses fuses instead of breakers, feels warm to the touch, or if you're frequently tripping breakers or adding new appliances. An upgrade involves replacing the existing panel and breakers with a new, higher-capacity unit (like a 200 Amp service) that meets modern electrical codes and safety standards. This process improves safety, provides more circuits for your home's needs, and can prevent issues related to aging infrastructure.
