Questions and Answers

I'm dealing with flickering lights and outlets that don't work after a DIY project. Can you help?

Absolutely. Improper DIY electrical work is a common issue we see in Asheville homes. Our licensed electricians can safely diagnose and correct wiring errors, overloaded circuits, or faulty connections that cause these problems. We use thermal imaging to spot hidden hotspots from loose connections, ensuring your system is safe and up to code.

My generator isn't powering my home during an outage. What could be wrong?

This is often related to the generator transfer switch, a common point of failure we service locally. Our team can inspect, repair, or professionally install a new automatic or manual transfer switch to ensure your generator safely connects to your home's electrical panel when needed, providing reliable backup power for Asheville's weather-related outages.

What's involved in a thermal imaging inspection for my home's electrical system?

Our FLIR thermal imaging inspection is a non-invasive way to spot potential problems. The camera reads heat signatures, allowing us to identify overheating breakers, faulty wiring, and loose connections inside walls or panels without disruption. This proactive service, included in many of our diagnostic visits, helps prevent future failures and enhances safety.
