Trotter Electric | Experienced Electrical Repair in Fort Smith, AR

This is a common issue we see in the Fort Smith area due to our climate. Moisture can seep into outdoor fixture housings or junction boxes, causing a short circuit. It could also be damaged wiring from rodents, which is another frequent local problem. For safety, we recommend turning off the circuit and calling us. We'll inspect your outdoor lighting circuit, identify the source of the moisture or damage, and provide a repair that withstands our local weather, whether it's resealing a fixture, replacing damaged wire, or upgrading to wet-location rated components.

Absolutely. We regularly install EV charging stations in homes throughout Fort Smith, including those with older electrical panels. The process starts with a thorough inspection of your existing service and panel to ensure it can handle the added load safely. If an upgrade is needed, we handle everything from the new electric panel installation to running the proper dedicated circuit and mounting the charger itself. We'll ensure the installation is up to code and optimized for your vehicle, giving you convenient, fast charging at home.

A frequently tripping breaker is often a symptom, not the cause. Simply replacing it can be unsafe and won't solve the underlying problem. The issue could be an overloaded circuit, a short circuit in your wiring or an appliance, or a faulty connection. Our electricians will diagnose the root cause, which may involve circuit breaker repair, wire repair, or adding new circuits to balance your home's electrical load. This approach ensures a safe, lasting fix and prevents potential fire hazards.
