Q&A
My outdoor outlets in Rutherford keep tripping or stopped working. Could this be from corrosion, and what should I do?
Yes, corrosion from moisture is a frequent issue for outdoor outlets in our area. This can damage the receptacle and its internal components, creating a safety hazard. We recommend turning off the power to that circuit and calling a professional. Tru-Val Electric can safely inspect the outlet, assess for corrosion or water damage, and perform a necessary repair or install a new, weather-resistant outlet to prevent future problems.
Why is my GFCI outlet in the kitchen or bathroom not resetting, and is this an urgent repair?
A GFCI that won't reset often indicates an internal fault, which is a critical safety feature failing. This is urgent because a non-functioning GFCI cannot protect you from ground faults, which are a serious shock risk, especially in wet areas. Our electricians will diagnose the issue—whether it's a faulty outlet, a wiring problem, or moisture damage—and replace it with a new, code-compliant GFCI to restore protection to your Rutherford home.
With frequent power fluctuations and storms in our area, how can a generator from Tru-Val Electric protect my home?
A professionally installed standby generator by Tru-Val Electric provides automatic backup power during outages, keeping your lights, sump pumps, and refrigerators running. This is crucial in Rutherford to prevent damage from storms and ensure safety. We handle the entire process: assessing your home's power needs, obtaining permits, and performing a safe, code-compliant installation with an automatic transfer switch, so your family has reliable power when the grid goes down.
