Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if my home outlets stop working?
First, check your main electrical panel to see if a circuit breaker has tripped. If the breaker is in the middle or "OFF" position, push it fully "OFF" and then "ON". If it trips again immediately, do not try to reset it — contact Mills Electric Co to safely troubleshoot the short circuit.
Why do my home lights flicker when the AC turns on?
This typically happens because the AC draws a large amount of power (inrush current) when starting up. If the drop is significant, it can indicate a loose connection at the panel, an overloaded circuit, or the need for a dedicated circuit/hard start kit. We can diagnose the exact cause.
Are you licensed and insured to work in North Carolina?
Yes, Mills Electric Co holds NC Electrical License # 36565. We are fully insured through biBerk (Policy # N9BP158903) for your complete protection and peace of mind.
Do I need a licensed electrician for residential electrician?
Yes, electrical work should be handled by a qualified licensed electrician when safety, wiring, panels, circuits, or permanent installation are involved. Mills Electric Co. is licensed under Electrical License #36565 and carries insurance through biBerk Policy #N9BP158903. A licensed contractor can also help you avoid unsafe shortcuts that may create problems later.
How do I know if I need residential electrician or a different electrical service?
You do not have to diagnose it before calling. Explain what you are seeing, hearing, smelling, or planning. Mills Electric Co. will look at the affected circuit, panel, device, or fixture and recommend the service that actually matches the issue.
Can Mills Electric Co. provide a price before starting?
For many jobs, pricing can be discussed after the scope is reviewed. Electrical pricing depends on access, materials, panel condition, circuit length, device type, and safety requirements. The goal is to be clear before the work moves forward, not surprise you at the end.
Is residential electrician covered by a warranty?
Mills Electric Co. provides a 1 year workmanship warranty. Extended workmanship warranty coverage is available at 10% of the job cost per additional year, up to 5 years. Product warranties may depend on the manufacturer.
Can this be scheduled outside normal business hours?
Some service can be planned around access needs, and urgent issues may fall under emergency service. If the situation involves sparking, burning smells, heat at the panel, exposed live wiring, or power loss affecting safety, call (704) 818-7867.
Will the work be explained before anything is replaced?
Yes. Raymond Mills believes customers should understand the reason behind the recommendation. When troubleshooting or inspecting, the goal is to identify the cause before replacing parts that may not solve the problem.
