Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my outlets are safe?

Signs include discoloration around outlets, outlets that don't hold plugs firmly, buzzing sounds, or a burning smell. Homes near Lake Koshkonong with moisture exposure should get an inspection. Call us—a quick look is free.

Do I need a permit for outlet or circuit work?

Yes. Jefferson County requires permits for any circuit installation or major outlet work. We handle the permit application, inspection scheduling, and closeout so you don't have to.

What's the difference between 15-amp and 20-amp outlets?

A 20-amp outlet has a horizontal slot and handles more power. Kitchens and bathrooms need 20-amp circuits by code. We'll recommend the right outlet for your application.

Can you add outlets to an existing circuit?

Sometimes, if the circuit has capacity. For high-demand areas like kitchens, we recommend a dedicated circuit to prevent breaker trips. We'll assess your panel and usage.

Why did my breaker trip?

Breakers trip from overload (too many appliances on one circuit) or a fault in the wiring. If it happens repeatedly, it's a safety issue. We'll trace the cause and fix it permanently.

Do older homes in Fort Atkinson need panel upgrades?

Many 1960s homes with 60 or 100-amp panels struggle with modern devices. A 150 or 200-amp upgrade gives headroom for outlets, circuits, and future needs without constant breaker issues.
