Common electrical questions.
Still have a question?
Jamie answers every call and request within one business day.
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
Usually too much is running on one circuit, an appliance has a fault, or there’s a short. Unplug things and reset it once. If it trips again right away, leave it off and request a repair.
Do I need a panel upgrade?
You might if your panel is full, older, or can’t handle something new like an EV charger, generator or addition. Jamie can check your panel and tell you what it can support.
What does a whole-home surge protector do?
It mounts at your electrical panel and limits voltage spikes before they reach the circuits in your house, protecting appliances, electronics and the control boards in furnaces and air conditioners.
Can you install an EV charger at my house?
Yes. Jamie installs Level 2 chargers with a dedicated circuit, and checks first that your panel has the capacity for it.
Should I call 911 for an electrical problem?
If you see smoke, flames or sparks, or someone is hurt, get to safety and call 911. For downed power lines, stay far away and call your utility.
