Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my circuit breaker panel feels warm or is making noise?

An overheating or buzzing electrical panel is a serious safety concern common in many Durham homes, especially older ones. This often indicates overloaded circuits, loose connections, or outdated equipment that can't handle modern electrical demands. Vaughan Electric's technicians are trained to diagnose these issues safely. We can assess your panel's capacity, tighten connections, and recommend repairs or a full panel upgrade to ensure your home's electrical system is safe and reliable, preventing potential fire hazards.

Can you install an electric vehicle charging station at my home in Durham?

Absolutely. As more Triangle residents switch to EVs, we provide professional home charging station installation. Our electricians will evaluate your home's electrical capacity, typically at your main panel, to ensure it can support the new charger. We handle all aspects from permitting to final connection, ensuring a safe, code-compliant installation that lets you charge your vehicle conveniently and efficiently.

My lights are flickering. Could this be damaged wiring?

Flickering lights can be a sign of several issues, including rodent-damaged wiring, which is a common problem in our area. Squirrels, mice, and other pests can chew through insulation in attics or walls, creating short circuits and fire risks. Vaughan Electric's repair services include thorough inspections to locate the source of the problem. We can safely repair or replace damaged wire runs, secure access points to prevent future issues, and restore stable, safe power to your home.
