Why use a Professional Electrician?
One of the biggest advantages of using a licensed electrical contractor is safety.
Handling electrical equipment without the proper training and tools can be a deadly mistake. Even if you emerge from the project unscathed, you may not be able to tell if it’s actually done properly.
Electrical fires have caused tragedies for Delaware families in the past, so we don’t want you to turn to an unlicensed “handyman” or attempt the project yourself. That’s why we offer affordable professional repair services throughout northern Delaware.
Legal Information in Pike Creek
Depending on the danger and difficulty associated with a particular project, you may be required to obtain a permit before work can begin. Renovations and construction projects require several types of permits.
Common projects that require state oversight include service panel upgrades, adding new wiring to a structure and installing fixtures.
Our electricians are licensed contractors with all the necessary certification to operate in the state of Delaware.
We are happy to answer your questions to the best of our ability, but you should consult with a state representative to make sure you are adhering to all the necessary legal codes before starting a project.
You can learn more about the permit process from the Delaware Board of Electrical Examiners’ webpage at http://www.dpr.delaware.gov/boards/electrician/. We recommend you call and talk to a representative about your project directly.
FAQ for Common Electrical Problems in Pike Creek
Preventing problems and solving issues as they emerge is the safest and most efficient way to keep your home’s electrical system running properly. Don’t let problems go unresolved. It’s not safe and could cause costly damage to your home.
Why do I lose power when I turn certain appliances on?
If your home’s service panel hasn’t been upgraded in a while, there’s a chance it isn’t strong enough to handle the load.
Problems with individual circuits or the main panel can lead to breaker flips when you have too many things running at once. Plug the offending device into an outlet connected to a different circuit for short-term relief.
Why do my light bulbs burn out constantly?
There are a few reasons for this. You may be using the incorrect type or wattage of bulb for your lighting fixture. It’s also possible that something is wrong with a local circuit or the main connection in your home has gone bad.
Are the sparks from my outlet dangerous?
They can represent a dangerous problem, although some sparking is normal. It’s okay for sparks to burst out of the outlet on occasion when you are plugging something in, but it shouldn’t happen every time. If the casing around the outlet is hot, immediately unplug everything from the outlets and give us a call.
My outlets/switches are really hot, is that bad?
Excessive heat could mean the insulation around the wiring has melted, which exposes your home to the risk of electrical fire. Some switches, including those that can “dim” lights, build up some heat during normal use. Most outlets and standard light switches should NOT get hot though.
