Project Spotlight: Soffit Light Repair & Electrical Safety Improvements in Frankford, Delaware

When a Frankford homeowner contacted Expert Wire Electrical Service about a recurring breaker trip, the issue initially appeared to be related to soffit lights that had been damaged during a recent power washing service. Each evening when the lights came on at dusk, the breaker would trip, causing a partial power outage that affected the garage.

Our technician, Nate, performed a thorough electrical evaluation and found that water had entered the damaged soffit lights. Although the fixtures had dried enough to temporarily operate, their condition made them unreliable for long-term use. Based on the age and condition of the existing fixtures, we recommended replacing them with new, high-quality RAB LED soffit lights for improved reliability and performance.

During the inspection, Nate also identified several additional electrical safety concerns, including equipment sharing circuits that should be dedicated and a garage receptacle that lacked proper GFCI protection. After discussing options with the homeowner, they chose to move forward with the installation of two new RAB soffit lights and an audible GFCI device to help protect a freezer circuit.

The home's electrical panel was found to be in excellent condition, featuring whole-home surge protection and AFCI protection throughout, providing an added layer of safety for the family.

The homeowners were pleased with the lighting installation service, noting the thorough evaluation, practical recommendations, and quality workmanship provided throughout the visit.
