FAQ

If your circuit breaker trips repeatedly, it could be a sign of an overloaded circuit, a short circuit, or a ground fault. First, unplug devices that may be causing the overload. If the problem persists, it’s best to call a certified electrician at Townsend Electrical to safely diagnose and fix the issue, ensuring your home’s electrical system is functioning correctly.

We recommend upgrading your electrical panel every 20-30 years or sooner if you’re noticing flickering lights, frequently tripped breakers, or if your home is still using a fuse box. A modern panel upgrade can increase your home’s safety, efficiency, and capacity to handle today’s electrical demands. Contact Townsend Electrical for a professional panel evaluation.

Upgrading to LED lighting can significantly reduce energy costs, provide better quality lighting, and last longer than traditional bulbs. LED lights are energy-efficient, eco-friendly, and emit less heat, making them a popular choice for homeowners and businesses alike. At Townsend Electrical, we specialize in LED lighting installations and upgrades for homes and commercial properties.

To prepare for a power outage, consider installing a backup generator. A generator can keep your home powered during emergencies, preventing potential damage from power surges and ensuring you stay connected. We offer generator installation and maintenance services to keep your home running smoothly even during unexpected outages.

At Townsend Electrical, all our electricians are fully certified and trained to handle any residential or commercial electrical project.

Choosing the right surge protection depends on your home’s electrical needs. Whole-house surge protectors are the most effective solution, protecting your entire electrical system from power surges.
