Frequently Asked Questions – Right Pro Electrical Services LLC

At Right Pro Electrical Services LLC, we understand that electrical systems can be complex and sometimes confusing. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of the most commonly asked questions to help clarify any concerns you may have about our services and your electrical needs.

1. How Often Do I Need My Home Electrical Inspected?

The necessity for an electrical inspection depends on several factors, including the existing wiring in your home and its age. Homes with knob and tube, aluminum, or a two-wire system, commonly found in structures built prior to or during the 1970s, should have their electrical systems inspected immediately. For others, we recommend an electrical inspection every two years to identify any developing issues.

2. What Size Electrical System Can Right Pro Electrical Services LLC Install?

Right Pro Electrical Services LLC is proficient in handling installations or replacements of all standard residential electrical system sizes, including 100 amp, 125 amp, 150 amp, and 200 amp. Our team can assess your needs and ensure the correct system is installed for optimal performance and safety.

3. Should I Attempt Electrical Repairs Myself?

We strongly advise against attempting electrical repairs on your own. Electricity can pose significant dangers if not handled correctly. For your safety, it’s best to contact a professional electrician from Right Pro Electrical Services LLC when dealing with electrical issues. Our skilled electricians are equipped to perform repairs safely and efficiently.

4. What Are the Benefits of Updating My Breaker Panel?

Updating your breaker panel primarily enhances the safety of your home. It ensures that your home’s electrical system functions efficiently and is up to current safety standards. Additionally, some older panels are considered fire hazards and have been discontinued. Upgrading these panels can significantly reduce the risk of electrical fires.

5. How Do I Reset My Breakers?

Resetting a breaker involves locating your breaker panel, which is typically on the exterior of the home, in the garage, or in some cases, inside a closet or room. Identify the tripped breaker, switch it to the “off” position, and then back to “on” to restore power. If the breaker fails to reset, feels warm, or sparks, contact us immediately for assistance.

6. What Are the Signs of an Unsafe Outlet?

An outlet may be deemed unsafe if it shows signs of burning, feels warmer than usual, sparks, or causes electric shocks upon plugging in devices. In any of these cases, avoid using the affected outlet and call an electrician from Right Pro Electrical Services LLC to address the issue promptly.

7. How Will I Know If My House Needs to Be Re-Wired?

Homes with knob and tube, aluminum, and a two-wire system require immediate re-wiring. If your home was constructed in the 1970s or before, it’s likely time for a re-wire. Consult with our electricians to accurately determine your home’s wiring system.

8. How Long Does It Take to Re-Wire My Home?

The duration of a home re-wire project varies but typically takes between seven to ten days, depending on the size of the home and the extent of work needed.

9. How Is an AFCI Outlet Different Than a GFCI Outlet?

AFCI (arc-fault circuit interrupter) outlets protect against arcing, which can cause fires, while GFCI (ground-fault circuit interrupter) outlets protect against electric shock in wet areas. Both types of outlets are crucial for home safety, with AFCI outlets recommended in all areas of the home and GFCI outlets required in wet areas.
