When should I call a licensed electrician instead of doing electrical work myself?
You should call a licensed electrician for any extensive electrical work, such as new installations, rewiring, panel upgrades, or troubleshooting persistent issues. DIY electrical work can be dangerous and may not meet code requirements, risking safety and insurance coverage.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, we are licensed and insured, ensuring that all work meets state and local codes and that you are protected in case of accidents or damage during the job. Get in touch with Frain Electric for expert services from an electrician you can rely on.
What is an electrical inspection, and do I need one?
An electrical inspection is a comprehensive review of your home's electrical system, including wiring, outlets, and the circuit breaker panel. Inspections from an experienced electrician are recommended for older homes, after major renovations, or when buying or selling a property. Prioritizing this will ensure your property's safety and code compliance.
Why do my circuit breakers keep tripping?
Frequent tripping of circuit breakers usually indicates circuit overload, faulty wiring, or a malfunctioning appliance. An electrician can diagnose and resolve these issues to prevent potential fire hazards.
How can I make my home's electrical system safer?
To improve safety, consult a professional electrician to have GFCI outlets installed in wet areas, upgrade outdated wiring, avoid overloading circuits, use surge protection, and schedule regular electrical inspections. Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors should also be properly installed and maintained.
What should I do if I smell burning or hear sizzling from an outlet?
Immediately turn off power to the affected area and contact a licensed electrician. These symptoms can indicate serious electrical faults that pose a fire risk.
Can you help with smart home and EV charger installations?
Yes, we install smart home systems, security cameras, and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. When you call an experienced electrician like Frain Electric, you can rest assured that you are receiving services that ensure proper electrical integration and safety.
Do you provide warranties on your work?
Yes, we provide warranties on our work. When you schedule services with a top-tier electrician like Frain Electric, satisfaction is guaranteed.
How often should I have my home's electrical system inspected?
As an expert electrician, we recommend having an inspection every three to five years. This can also be sooner if you notice issues like flickering lights, frequent breaker trips, or you've recently had major renovations. Older homes may require more frequent checks to ensure safety.
