Speak With An Electrician
Electrical Repair Service FAQs
We understand that electrical issues can be confusing and intimidating. You may be unsure whether it’s time to call in a residential electrician. To help, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions we receive, so you can make informed and safe decisions for your home.
Do I need an electrician for small issues like a dead outlet?
Yes. A dead outlet could signal a larger wiring issue, tripped breaker, or even a fire hazard. A residential electrician can safely diagnose the cause and prevent future problems.
Why do my lights flicker or dim sometimes?
It’s usually a sign of loose wiring, overloaded circuits, or issues with your electrical panel. Flickering lights aren’t just annoying—they can be dangerous and should be checked out by a professional.
Is it safe to DIY electrical repairs?
No. Electrical work carries the risk of shock, fire, or injury. Licensed electricians understand code requirements and safety protocols that protect your home and family.
How much do common residential electrical repairs cost?
Costs vary based on the issue or scope of work. Minor fixes like replacing outlets or switches are usually a lower price, while panel upgrades or full rewiring cost more. At D.S. Burkholder, we offer free, no-obligation estimates so you can be sure of your cost upfront.
When should I upgrade my electrical panel?
If your home is 30+ years old or you’re adding new appliances (like an EV charger or HVAC system), it’s probably time. Older panels can’t handle modern power needs and may pose a fire risk to your home.
