Frequently Asked Questions About Electrical Services
Here are answers to common questions about electrical service in Lancaster County, PA. Contact Lancaster Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electrical at your convenience with any more questions.
Do you offer emergency electrical repairs in Lancaster?
Yes, our team is available for emergencies! When you are dealing with an urgent electrical issue, reach out right away, and we’ll respond quickly to mitigate damage and solve the problem.
How do I know if I need an electrical panel upgrade?
Your electrical panel may be outdated if lights flicker, breakers trip frequently, or the panel gives off a burning smell. It may also be time to upgrade if you install new appliances that increase your electrical load.
What should I do if my circuit breaker keeps tripping?
Don’t simply keep resetting the breaker, as it could indicate an overloaded circuit, faulty wiring, or a malfunctioning breaker. Consult a licensed electrician to diagnose and resolve the underlying safety issue.
Do you install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations?
Yes, we offer professional EV charging station installation so you can enjoy the convenience of charging your electric car at home.
What is the difference between GFCI protection and AFCI protection?
GFCI protection helps prevent electric shock in areas where water is common, like kitchens, bathrooms, basements, garages, and outdoor locations. AFCI protection is designed to reduce fire risk by detecting certain dangerous arcing conditions in wiring and devices. A licensed electrician can confirm what is required for your home and install the right type of outlet, breaker, or protection device for each circuit.
Why do my lights dim when the furnace, AC, or dryer turns on?
Some brief dimming can be normal when a large motor starts, but frequent or noticeable dimming can point to loose connections, an overloaded circuit, a failing breaker, or an electrical service that is undersized for your home’s demand. If it is getting worse or happening in multiple rooms, it is worth scheduling electrical troubleshooting so the cause can be identified before it becomes a bigger problem.
What are common signs of outdated or unsafe wiring in older Lancaster County homes?
Warning signs can include warm outlets or switch plates, buzzing sounds, frequent breaker trips, burning odors, discoloration around outlets, or a lack of grounded receptacles. If your home has older wiring types or additions that were not updated properly, an electrical inspection can help you understand what needs to be repaired or brought up to code for safety and reliability.
Is it safe to use power strips as a long-term solution for not having enough outlets?
Power strips can help for light, temporary use, but they are not a replacement for properly installed outlets and circuits. If you rely on power strips in multiple rooms, it may mean the circuits are overloaded or the home needs more receptacles in the right locations. Adding outlets or dedicated circuits can improve safety, reduce nuisance trips, and support modern devices without pushing the wiring too hard.
When should I consider a whole-home surge protector instead of just plug-in surge strips?
Plug-in surge strips can help protect individual electronics, but a whole-home surge protector is designed to reduce surge damage across many circuits, including large appliances. It can be especially helpful in areas with frequent storms or power fluctuations. The right setup depends on your electrical panel type, grounding, and what you want to protect, so a quick evaluation can confirm if it is a good fit for your home.
What happens during an electrical inspection, and what do electricians usually look for?
An electrical inspection typically checks the service and panel, breaker sizing, grounding and bonding, visible wiring condition, outlet and switch function, and safety devices like GFCI or AFCI protection where applicable. The goal is to identify hazards, code concerns, and reliability issues such as loose connections or overloaded circuits, then recommend clear next steps for repairs or upgrades.
