FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are You Licensed And Insured In Florida?
Yes. Volts Electric is a fully licensed and insured Florida electrical contractor (License #EC13012416). We follow all state and local electrical codes to ensure every project is completed safely, professionally, and up to compliance standards.
Do You Offer Emergency Or After-Hours Electrical Services?
Yes. Electrical issues don’t always happen during normal business hours, which is why we provide after-hours service calls. If you’re dealing with a power outage, breaker issue, or urgent electrical problem, we’re available to respond quickly and safely.
What Types Of Electrical Services Do You Provide?
We handle residential, commercial, and industrial electrical services including panel upgrades, EV charger installations, generator systems, lighting installation, wiring, troubleshooting, and electrical repairs. Whether it’s a small repair or a large-scale project, we’re equipped to handle it.
How Do I Know If I Need An Electrical Panel Upgrade?
If your breakers frequently trip, lights flicker, you’re adding new appliances, or your panel is outdated, it may be time for an upgrade. We can inspect your current system and determine whether your electrical panel can safely handle your property’s power demands.
Why do my lights flicker or dim when appliances turn on?
Flickering or dimming lights often occur when large appliances draw significant power from the same circuit as lighting fixtures. This can indicate overloaded circuits, loose wiring connections, or an electrical panel that lacks sufficient capacity. While occasional dimming may not be dangerous, frequent occurrences could signal an underlying electrical issue. A professional electrician can inspect the circuits and wiring to ensure power is distributed properly and that your system can safely handle your home’s energy demands.
Are surge protectors really necessary for homes in Florida?
Yes, surge protection is especially important in areas like Fort Myers where thunderstorms and lightning are common. Power surges can damage electronics, appliances, and sensitive equipment in seconds. While small plug-in surge protectors offer limited protection, whole-home surge protection installed at the electrical panel provides broader coverage. This type of protection helps shield your entire electrical system from sudden voltage spikes caused by lightning, utility grid fluctuations, or large appliances turning on and off.
What should I do if an outlet stops working?
If an outlet stops working, start by checking the circuit breaker and resetting any tripped breakers. If the outlet is connected to a GFCI outlet, press the reset button. If the outlet still doesn’t function, the problem could involve loose wiring, a damaged receptacle, or a hidden electrical fault. Avoid attempting complicated electrical repairs yourself. A licensed electrician can safely diagnose the cause and restore power while ensuring the outlet meets safety standards.
Why do some outlets have “test” and “reset” buttons?
Outlets with “test” and “reset” buttons are called Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets. They are designed to shut off electricity instantly if they detect an imbalance in the electrical current, which may indicate a shock hazard. GFCI outlets are commonly installed in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas where moisture is present. Testing them periodically ensures they function correctly. If a GFCI outlet repeatedly trips, it may indicate a wiring problem that requires professional inspection.
How can I improve the energy efficiency of my home’s electrical system?
Improving energy efficiency often involves upgrading lighting, appliances, and electrical components. Switching to LED lighting, installing energy-efficient fixtures, and using programmable lighting controls can significantly reduce electricity consumption. Upgrading older electrical systems may also improve energy distribution and reduce wasted power. An electrician can evaluate your home’s electrical setup and recommend upgrades that lower energy usage while maintaining reliable power for modern appliances and devices.
Is it normal for outlets or switches to feel warm?
Outlets and switches should not feel noticeably warm during normal use. Warm or hot electrical components may indicate overloaded circuits, loose wiring, or failing electrical devices. Overheating can eventually damage wiring insulation and increase the risk of electrical fires. If you notice warmth, discoloration, or burning smells near outlets or switches, it’s important to stop using that circuit and contact an electrician. Early inspection can prevent potentially dangerous electrical failures.
