Ferrell Electric has released recommendations for homeowners and businesses to prepare electrical systems for winter conditions. The company, with more than three decades of experience, highlights common issues that arise during colder months and the importance of timely interventions to maintain safety and efficiency.
As temperatures drop, electrical systems face increased demands from heating equipment and holiday lighting. Ferrell Electric notes that older wiring and overloaded circuits can lead to problems such as frequent breaker trips or flickering lights. These issues often require professional attention to prevent hazards. The company serves the Central Savannah River Area, including as a provider of electrical repair services in Martinez, GA, where it addresses such concerns through licensed electricians.
Founded in 1992, Ferrell Electric began as a response to the need for reliable electrical work in the greater Augusta region. The family-owned business has since expanded to cover residential, commercial, and industrial projects. It partners with builders on developments and assists individual clients with installations and repairs. In winter, the focus shifts to ensuring systems handle additional loads without failure.
Common winter-related electrical problems include burning smells from outlets, which may indicate faulty wiring, and buzzing sounds from fixtures. Ferrell Electric recommends inspections to identify these early. Upgrading to modern panels can accommodate higher energy needs, reducing risks associated with outdated infrastructure. The company adheres to National Electrical Code standards in all work, obtaining necessary permits in Georgia and South Carolina.
Energy efficiency also plays a role in winter preparations. Ferrell Electric suggests installing LED lighting and timers to manage consumption. Smart home systems, including thermostats and controls, allow for better regulation of usage. These measures help lower bills while maintaining comfort. The company's electricians, trained in safety protocols, perform these upgrades with a commitment to quality.
Adam Dietrich, President of Ferrell Electric, said, "Winter brings specific challenges to electrical systems, and addressing them proactively ensures safety for families and operations for businesses." This statement reflects the company's emphasis on preventive maintenance.
Dietrich added, "Through our repair and upgrade services, clients can avoid disruptions during the colder season, aligning with standards that protect properties." His comment underscores the practical aspects of the guidance provided.
The company maintains Georgia and South Carolina Unrestricted Electrical Contractor License EN213209, enabling cross-state operations. It offers a one-year warranty on parts and labor, supporting client confidence in completed work. Financing options through partners like Greensky facilitate access to necessary improvements.
Ferrell Electric's values guide its approach: integrity in interactions, ownership of responsibilities, continuous improvement, and upholding high standards. These principles have sustained the business through word-of-mouth growth and repeat engagements.
In addition to repairs, the company handles lighting design, including chandeliers, pendant lights, and energy-efficient options. For commercial clients, it ensures compliance and efficiency in larger setups. Homeowners benefit from solutions to everyday issues, such as replacing inefficient fixtures.
As part of its community focus, Ferrell Electric encourages awareness of electrical safety year-round, with particular attention to seasonal changes. This initiative aligns with industry trends toward smarter, more efficient systems.
Ferrell Electric operates as a family-owned electrical contractor serving the Central Savannah River Area and nearby regions, including Aiken County, Columbia County, Edgefield County, and Richmond County. It provides licensed services for installations, repairs, and upgrades in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. The company prioritizes safety, compliance, and craftsmanship in all projects.
