Q. When should I consider calling an electrician?

An electrician should be called for any electrical work that involves removing a device, fixture or other electrical connection and need. A good qualified electrician will ensure all of the wiring rules are following and that you and your home or business will remain electrically safe.

Q. Why would I need a new electrical circuit?

Sometimes circuits can become overloaded by adding new appliances or other equipment in the area. A new circuit helps to ensure that nuisance breaker tripping doesn’t happen.

Q. What do I do if my circuit keeps overloading?

Call Cain Electric for a circuit evaluation to make sure there isn’t a underlying problem causing the breaker to trip. If it is overloaded then a new circuit should be run to eliminate the overloading or moving some loads to other sources for power.
