Common Questions

We have some old outdoor outlets that seem corroded. Can you make them safe and up to code for Durham's weather?

Absolutely. Corrosion on outdoor outlets is a common issue here due to our humidity and can be a serious shock hazard. Our licensed electricians will replace the old outlets with new, weatherproof GFCI models that are required by current electrical code. We'll also inspect the wiring and the circuit breaker for any moisture damage to ensure the entire circuit is safe and properly grounded, preventing future problems and protecting your home.

I attempted some DIY electrical work that now has my lights flickering. Can you diagnose and fix it safely?

Yes, fixing improper DIY work is a frequent call for us in Durham. Flickering lights can indicate loose connections, overloaded circuits, or incorrect wiring, all of which are fire risks. Our electricians will safely trace the issue, correct any wiring mistakes, and ensure all connections at outlets, switches, and your circuit breaker panel are secure and to code. We prioritize your safety and will explain what we find and fix so you can have peace of mind.

Beyond just fixing an outlet, can you install a new circuit breaker to support a kitchen appliance upgrade?

Definitely. Many older Durham homes have panels that can't handle the demand of modern appliances like ranges or cooktops. Improper DIY attempts to add circuits are a major safety concern. Our electricians can assess your panel's capacity, install a new dedicated circuit breaker with the correct amperage, and run the proper wire for a safe and reliable installation. This ensures your new appliance runs efficiently and eliminates the risk of overloading your home's electrical system.
