Frequently Asked Questions

My breaker keeps tripping in my Alton home. Is this a sign of panel overload?

Yes, frequent breaker trips are a common sign of an overloaded panel, especially in older Alton homes where electrical demands have increased. This can be a serious safety issue. Our electricians can perform a detailed inspection, assess your panel's capacity, and provide solutions like circuit breaker repair, a panel upgrade, or adding dedicated circuits to safely handle your home's electrical load.

What should I look for during a home inspection regarding electrical meter corrosion?

Electrical meter corrosion, often caused by local weather, can lead to power fluctuations and fire hazards. During a Ross Home Services inspection, our experts specifically check the meter base and connections for rust, discoloration, or damage. We'll also evaluate your entire system—from the main panel to outlets and wiring—to ensure everything is safe and recommend any necessary repairs or protective installations.

Can you upgrade my old electrical panel and add new outdoor lighting safely?

Absolutely. Many Alton homes need panel upgrades to support modern appliances and additions like outdoor lighting. Our team first assesses your current panel for signs of overload or corrosion. We then handle the full-service upgrade, ensuring it meets code, and can seamlessly install your new outdoor lighting on a properly rated circuit. This integrated approach ensures safety, reliability, and enhanced functionality for your home.
