Common Questions About Residential Electrical Work
From upgrades to safety concerns, electrical questions are some of the most important ones we answer. Here are a few things homeowners frequently want to know when considering professional electrical services.
Flickering lights are often a sign of voltage fluctuation caused by large appliances drawing power. It can also point to a loose connection, overloaded circuit, or aging electrical panel.
While occasional flickering isn’t always a concern, consistent or widespread flickering could indicate a more serious wiring issue. A licensed electrician from Capital Comfort Services can evaluate your system and make sure everything is safe and up to code.
If your panel is over 25 years old, frequently trips breakers, or can’t handle modern electrical demands, it’s likely time for an upgrade.
You may also need a new panel if you’re planning to install an EV charger, home addition, or upgraded HVAC system. Modern homes require more amperage than panels built decades ago can safely support. Upgrading improves performance, safety, and resale value.
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets are designed to shut off power when they detect even a small imbalance in the electrical current. This prevents electric shock and is required by code in areas like bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and outdoors.
If you don’t have GFCI protection in these locations, it’s time to consider an upgrade for safety and compliance. They can be easily identified by their test and reset buttons.
Yes—most smart switches and dimmers can be installed using your current wiring, although some may require a neutral wire. Compatibility varies depending on your home’s electrical setup and the devices you’re connecting them to.
Our electricians can inspect your system, recommend the best smart options, and install them for seamless function and safety. It’s a great way to modernize your home without a major overhaul.
Most standard residential panels are rated for 100 to 200 amps. Homes with modern appliances, HVAC systems, and high-tech equipment often benefit from 200-amp service or more.
If you’re experiencing frequent tripped breakers or planning to add high-load equipment, it’s worth having an electrician assess your system’s capacity. An overloaded panel isn’t just inconvenient—it can be dangerous.
