Common Questions

Electrical Repair FAQ

Frequently asked questions about home electrical repairs in Virginia Beach, answered by our licensed electrical specialists.

When should I call a professional vs. attempting DIY electrical work?

+

Call professionals for any work involving wiring, circuit breakers, electrical panels, or code compliance. DIY electrical work risks electrocution, fires, and insurance issues. Our Virginia Beach electricians handle all repairs safely while ensuring code compliance and proper functionality.

What causes outlets to stop working suddenly?

+

Dead outlets can result from tripped GFCI outlets, tripped breakers, loose wire connections, or outlet failure. Virginia Beach's salt air can accelerate corrosion. Our electricians diagnose the exact cause and provide permanent solutions using appropriate materials for coastal conditions.

Why do my lights flicker and is it dangerous?

+

Flickering lights can indicate loose connections, overloaded circuits, or electrical problems that may cause fires. Occasional flickering during large appliance startup is normal, but persistent flickering requires immediate professional attention to prevent dangerous conditions.

Do I need GFCI outlets throughout my Virginia Beach home?

+

Virginia Beach electrical codes require GFCI protection in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, basements, and outdoor areas. GFCI outlets prevent electrocution in wet conditions common in coastal homes. We install GFCI outlets where required for safety and code compliance.

How do hurricanes affect home electrical systems?

+

Hurricanes can cause power surges, salt water infiltration, and physical damage to electrical components. We provide post-storm electrical inspections, surge damage repair, and upgrades to protect against future storms. Proper preparation and prompt repairs prevent extensive damage.

What should I do if I smell burning from an outlet or switch?

+

Burning smells indicate dangerous electrical problems requiring immediate attention. Turn off the breaker to that circuit and call us immediately. Don't use the outlet or switch until professionally inspected. Our emergency service responds quickly to prevent fires and restore safety.

Can you install ceiling fans where there wasn't one before?

+

Yes, we can install ceiling fans by running new wiring and installing proper electrical boxes rated for fan support. This requires electrical work to ensure safe installation and proper switch control. Our Virginia Beach team handles all wiring and mounting requirements professionally.

Why do circuit breakers trip repeatedly?

+

Repeated tripping indicates overloaded circuits, short circuits, ground faults, or failing breakers. This is a safety feature preventing fires and electrocution. Our electricians identify the cause and provide appropriate solutions including circuit additions or electrical repairs.

Are electrical repairs covered by homeowners insurance?

+

Coverage depends on the cause - storm damage and sudden failures may be covered, while maintenance and wear typically aren't. We provide detailed documentation for insurance claims when applicable. Using licensed electricians helps ensure insurance coverage and proper repairs.

How often should electrical systems be inspected?

+

Homes should have electrical inspections every 10 years, or every 5 years for homes over 25 years old. Virginia Beach's coastal conditions may require more frequent inspections. We identify safety hazards, code violations, and needed upgrades before problems become dangerous.

Can you upgrade electrical systems in older Virginia Beach homes?
