The Flash Electric FAQ's

frequently asked questions
What areas do you serve?
We’re zapping electrical problems all over Athens, Watkinsville, and surrounding areas. If you’re within shouting distance, consider us your local electric superheroes!
What kinds of electrical superpowers do you offer?
From panel upgrades to GFCI repairs, EV charger installations, surge protection, and heroic home inspections – we do it all with a flash and a smile.
Are your electricians licensed and insured, or just caped crusaders?
Both! Our team is fully licensed, insured, and trained to handle any electrical mission – no capes required.
Why should I upgrade my electrical panel?
If your panel is older than a VCR and struggling to keep up with today’s gadgets, it’s time to power up! A panel upgrade prevents flickering lights, tripping breakers, and electrical meltdowns.
How do I know if my panel is begging for a rescue mission?
Does it make weird noises? Smell like burning toast? Trip breakers more than your clumsy cousin? Yep, it’s time for a heroic upgrade.
What is a GFCI outlet, and why is it so shocking?
Think of GFCI outlets as your home’s tiny electric lifeguards. They cut power when things get dangerously wet – like when your toaster decides to take a swim in the sink.
Can you install EV chargers for electric vehicles?
You bet! We’re EV charger installation pros – ready to supercharge your ride without breaking a sweat (or a breaker).
Why should I get a whole-house surge protector?
Because lightning strikes and power surges are like surprise attacks from the electric underworld. Surge protectors keep your gadgets safe from sizzling into oblivion.
What’s included in a Flash Electric home inspection?
We inspect your panel, wiring, outlets, switches, and more – making sure your home is shock-proof and hero-approved.
How much does it cost to install a ceiling fan?
It depends. Is your ceiling 10 feet tall or “Skyscraper High”? Got wiring in place or is it a DIY disaster? We’ll fly in, take a look, and give you a free quote.
Do you offer emergency services, or just heroic rescues?
Both! If your lights go out, outlets spark, or circuits go rogue – we’re on call, capes at the ready.
Can you replace burnt or damaged outlets?
Absolutely. Burnt outlets are like ticking time bombs. We’ll swoop in, swap them out, and keep your home from going up in a puff of smoke.
What should I do if my circuit breaker keeps tripping?
