Frequently Asked Questions About Mr. Electric of Cary
Can you tell me exactly how much this electrical job will cost me?
In our years of experience, we have found that our customers prefer an accurate price based on their exact electrical issue. Most phone quotes are subject to change once the technician sees the job. We don't think that is fair to you. By allowing our residential electricians to diagnose the problem in person, you will know exactly what it will cost to get the job done before we begin work. Contact Mr. Electric today for a quote on all of your electrical repair needs.
What is the difference between a regular breaker and an Arc Fault breaker?
All breakers are designed to prevent the wire in your home or business becoming overloaded. All breakers are designed to automatically turn off if the circuit is carrying too much load or if there is a short circuit present. Arc Fault breakers have the additional ability to sense arcing in a circuit. Arcing is the sparking you might see between 2 damaged conductors, and is a fire hazard as this arcing is extremely hot. An arc welder uses electrical arcing to weld steel. A regular breaker may not sense that because it does not always create the load needed to trip the breaker, but an Arc Fault breaker will sense it and shut the circuit down before it can cause a fire. These devices are designed and required to be tested on a monthly basis to ensure proper and safe operation.
Is aluminum wiring a fire hazard or is my aluminum wiring safe?
Aluminum wiring was used in the late 1960s and into the mid-1970s in many homes across North America. Aluminum wiring itself is not dangerous to have in your house. The issue with aluminum wiring is in faulty terminations either in receptacles and switches, or light fixtures and equipment. Due to expansion and contraction of the conductor itself and the fact that aluminum will oxidize over time, heat can be generated at points where the aluminum wiring is improperly terminated. One of the main issues with aluminum wiring is that while everything may appear fine with your wiring, it could be deteriorating behind devices, creating a dangerous fire hazard. Luckily, Mr. Electric is available 24 hours a day in electrical emergencies like these! If you have concerns about aluminum wiring in your home or business, you should have it inspected by a licensed electrician who has experience working with aluminum wiring.
How much does it cost to change my fuse panel?
Mr. Electric provides you with a quote to complete the work at no charge. We must look at each panel location to provide this quote as there are many variables that must be taken into account. Things like panel location, electrical system flexibility, feeder cable length, and, most importantly, the decision to repair or completely replace the panel are important pieces of information we must find out before we begin a job. To provide an accurate quote without this information is impossible.
What is Whole Home Surge Protection and is it necessary in my home?
Today’s homes are more advanced and filled with electronics than they have ever been, and we are increasingly dependent on not only the electronics, but the ability to easily charge them. Whole Home Surge Protection provides protection to all the electrical equipment in your home from surges and spikes that can be created outside or even inside your home. It acts just like the high quality power bars we often buy for our entertainment systems or our computer systems, but instead it protects all the devices in your home from electrical emergencies. This means it protects the electronic components of refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryer dishwashers, coffee makers and anything else that wouldn’t traditionally have protection. We recommend whole home surge protectors be installed in all homes by our licensed electricians to protect all the electronics.
How can I get an accurate price for an electrical job from Mr. Electric of Cary?
Mr. Electric of Cary provides in-person diagnostics by their licensed residential electricians to give you an exact price for your electrical job before starting the work, avoiding estimate changes after the technician inspects the problem.
What is the benefit of using Arc Fault breakers compared to regular breakers?
Arc Fault breakers detect dangerous electrical arcing that regular breakers might miss, preventing potential fire hazards by shutting down the circuit when arcing occurs, making your home or business safer.
Is aluminum wiring in my home a fire hazard?
Aluminum wiring itself isn’t inherently dangerous, but faulty terminations and oxidation can cause heat build-up and fire risks. If you have concerns, Mr. Electric of Cary recommends inspection by licensed electricians with experience in aluminum wiring.
Does Mr. Electric of Cary provide free quotes for changing a fuse panel?
Yes. They provide free quotes, but require an on-site inspection to consider variables like panel location, feeder cable length, and repair versus replacement decisions to give an accurate price.
