About 10 years ago, the only thing you would see on the road were regular gas or diesel vehicles. No one would even think about electric vehicles. Now in 2022, electric vehicles are everywhere, with over 2 million electric cars sold in the United States. It is only a matter of time before half of the United States is driving them.
The main reasons why people are switching to electric vehicles are that you are saving money in the long run and it is environmentally friendly. Electric vehicles are environmentally friendly because they are a step towards decarbonization in the future. Also, you are saving money because on average, a full tank of gas for a regular vehicle is $56 and the average price for a full charge is between $11 and $45.
Speaking of charging your electric vehicle, charging stations are appearing everywhere now. About 28% of United States gas stations and countless grocery stores have charging stations. But, you can also install a charger right into your home. Having a charging station in your home will be very convenient because you will no longer have to stop at a gas station or grocery store during short trips.
Socket Doctors now provides E.V. charging station installations and repairs. It is important to have your EV chargers installed and repaired correctly. If you don’t know what you’re doing you risk costly damages and potential injuries. If you are thinking about having a charging station installed or you need Atlanta car charger repair services, contact Socket Doctors today! If you have any questions or concerns, their team is here to assist you.
Over the years, we’ve forged many relationships, many of which are still strong as oak today. At Socket Doctors, we care immensely about our customers and how they react to our appearance, service, professionalism, and prices. We encourage reviews because word of mouth is one of the most reliable forms of a reference for most businesses. Recently, we had a customer in Hamilton Mill that needed some routine electrical work done at their residence. Like normal, we went out to their house to diagnose any problems that they had. He only needed a few things repaired, which for us was quite basic. But as someone who isn’t familiar with electrical components, our customer thought we were nothing short of geniuses.

No one likes electrical problems at home and most of the time when something strange happens you wonder if there is something major wrong that needs to be addressed. If your lights are flickering or maybe a socket is not working you should be concerned and have these items looked at. We have put together a list of a few items that you should be on the lookout for.
Why does my AC unit coming on make my computer or other electronics turn off?
This could be due to faulty wiring. This means that the computer is seeing a big change in the voltage when the AC cuts on and causes enough of a surge that it affects electronics, like computers and routers. If the hot wire and neutral were wired backward to the outlet it will do this. It could also mean that between the neutral and the ground wire or the ground for the whole house is not set up correctly. Since the neutral and the ground are both connected to ground someplace there should not be a voltage difference like this and should be checked out.
Why is my electric bill higher this year than last year?
Your electric company may have just gone up on the price per kilowatt. It may be something is running that you did not know it was. Even electronics that are plugged in and not operating could drain tiny amounts of power. All those charging cords can add up fast. If everything is off and unplugged and your meter is still running you may have a bigger issue and you will need to have it looked at.
Why are my lights flickering when on?
It may be a simple as you need a new bulb and switching it out, especially for a LED bulb could fix it quickly. If it still flickers after the new bulb is in there is more than likely a loose bit of wiring on the light and a professional can quickly fix this issue.
Why do my light switches “pop” when I turn them on or off?
More than likely your switch is worn out or the wiring is loose. When you hear that pop or crackling noise it is a quick fix to check the wiring on the back of the switch or just change out the switch out.
As with all electrical issues in your home or business be very careful and make sure that the power is off before you work on any wiring. It is better to check twice and make very sure that you are being as safe as possible when you are working with electricity.
Finding and hiring an electrician is clearly the most fun anyone could have, right? That’s sarcasm. Unfortunately, there’s no sarcasm font, so you’ll have to take our word for it. If truth be told, finding and hiring an electrician is nearly one of the most impossible tasks to take on. Each electrical firm telling you the same thing:
- “We’ve got the lowest prices.”
- “Our service is second to none.”
- “We only use premium grade replacement products.”
The litany of terms electricians use to get you to use them is endless, yet still all the same. What sets Socket Doctors apart from the rest of the crowd is that every technician is a fully licensed Master Electrician with years of valuable experience.
Reliable and Professional
From recessed lighting and chandelier installs to outlet additions and ceiling fan installation, Socket Doctors does it all, and they do it with a professional cleanliness and attitude any homeowner will be elated with. The professionals that call Socket Doctors home are some of the most down to earth and approachable guys in not only the electrician market, but in any field. They can help you with small projects and complete remodel jobs alike.
You really don’t want some guy off the street wearing a stained shirt and looking unprofessional in your home. We’re not talking judging a book by its cover or anything, but you just want someone who looks like they know what they’re doing in your home and around your family. Even if stained-shirt guy has a PhD in electrical work, if he comes in your home looking anything less than an expert, you’ll have your reservations.
Of course, instead of hiring someone you can always do it yourself. Let’s be real, who doesn’t want to get up on a ladder to replace their ceiling fan and mess with who-knows-how-many watts that are flowing freely up there? Oh wait, no one wants to do that! Granted, some people out there can YouTube how to do anything electrical, for those of you daredevils out there – Have at it!
Generally people don’t want any part of electrical work. It’s not like plumbing – a pipe leaks, you can go turn off the water and you got wet. Electricity leaks and you’re going to the hospital! Call Socket Doctors and let the professionals do all the dirty work and they’ll make sure your home is wired, lit, plugged in and entertained safely.
