1. Why do fuses blow in the house?

Most often, the reason is an overloaded circuit, a short circuit, a damaged device, or a problem in the installation (e.g., a loose connection). If fuses blow regularly, we perform diagnostics and remove the cause, not just the effect.

2. Does modernizing the electrical panel realistically improve safety?

Yes. Modernizing the panel improves the clarity of the installation, the selection of protections, and facilitates diagnostics. In practice, it often eliminates problems with recurring fuse blows and overheating connections.

3. Can a preliminary estimate be done without a visit?

In many cases, yes. A brief description, location, and 1-2 photos (e.g., of the panel or work area) are sufficient for a preliminary estimate. For larger modernization scopes or energy storage, a short on-site consultation may be needed.

4. What does it mean if a socket, switch, or burnt smell is heating up?

This is most often a sign of incorrect connections, overload, or wear of the equipment components. Such symptoms should not be ignored — we perform diagnostics and resolve the issue safely and permanently.

5. Do you carry out modernization of installations in older buildings (Jelenia Góra, Kowary, Karpacz, Mysłakowice)?

Yes. In older buildings, we carry out modernization of installations and panels, as well as adjustments for current loads. The scope of work depends on the condition of the installation and the planned devices in the building. And not only in the mentioned locations. We operate in this region (Jelenia Góra + 40 km).

6. Power outage in part of the house – what could be the cause?

A lack of power in one area of the building often concerns a specific circuit, protection, or connection in the installation. We perform diagnostics of the panel and circuit, and then restore power after removing the cause.

7. How to recognize an overloaded electrical installation?

Typical symptoms include: frequent fuse blows, voltage drops, overheating connections, and problems when several devices operate simultaneously. In such cases, we verify the circuit division and the condition of the panel.

8. Does simply replacing fuses solve the blowing issue?

If the protection regularly blows, there is most often a reason for it: overload, short circuit, installation fault, or damaged device. Therefore, we check the cause and only then select a solution.

9. Do you provide power supply for induction and new appliances?

Yes. We provide supply and modifications of the installation for new devices, with proper selection of circuits, protections, and connections. Often, the panel needs to be adjusted for new loads.

10. When does the panel require modernization?

When it is old, overloaded, unclear, there is no space for new circuits, or problems arise with blowing protections and overheating connections. Modernization improves safety and prepares the installation for future needs.

11. Does an energy storage system make sense without photovoltaics?

It depends on the purpose. Most often, energy storage is profitable in combination with PV, but sometimes we select it as emergency power supply. In every case, we tailor the solution to the expectations and conditions of the building.

12. Does the energy storage system work during a power outage?

It depends on the system configuration and switching method. Not every energy storage system automatically provides emergency power for the entire building. We select a solution for the required circuits and expected backup time.

13. Does order in the panel matter?

Yes. A clear and organized panel facilitates diagnostics, improves safety, and reduces the risk of future errors. Often, simply improving connections and layout eliminates the risk of failure.

14. Do you relocate sockets and switches during renovations?

Yes. We relocate electrical points to the new room or building layout, perform modifications, connections, and functionality tests after completing the work.

15. Why does lighting flicker or work unstably?

Most often, the causes are connections, the switch, the fixture, the control element, or the power supply of the lighting circuit. We perform diagnostics and repairs to ensure the problem does not recur.

16. Do you perform emergency repairs of installations and restore power?

Yes. We perform diagnostics, restore power, and eliminate the cause of the fault. If the problem tends to recur, we propose a permanent solution (e.g., circuit correction or panel modernization).

17. Can the installation be expanded without replacing the whole system?

In many cases, yes. Circuits can be added and protections adjusted, but it always depends on the condition of the installation and the panel and the planned loads.

18. Do you offer SMART HOME and automation services (Jelenia Góra + 40 km)?

Yes. We implement automation and SMART HOME solutions in practical terms: controlling lighting, heating, scenes, and schedules. We choose stable solutions that are ready for expansion.

19. Repair or modernization – which is better?

It depends on the situation. If the problem is specific, a repair is sufficient. If failures recur, the installation is overloaded, or the distribution board is in poor condition — modernization often provides peace of mind for years.

20. Do you perform replacement or modernization of the electrical panel/distribution board?

Yes. We modernize distribution boards: we organize the layout, replace and select protections, expand circuits, and prepare the installation for future needs (household appliances, air conditioning, PV, energy storage).

21. Is it worth preparing the installation for future loads?

Yes. New devices (induction, air conditioning, heat pumps, workshops, PV) change the requirements of the installation. We carry out modernizations with a focus on safe operation now and in the future.

22. What does intermittent power supply in the socket mean?

Most often, it is a connection problem (loose terminal), equipment damage, or cable issues. We perform diagnostics and repairs in a permanent manner to ensure the fault does not return.

23. Does energy storage increase self-consumption from photovoltaics?

Yes. Energy storage allows for more energy from PV to be used on-site instead of being fed back into the grid. We select based on consumption and the operational profile of the facility.

24. What data is needed to select energy storage?

The most important information includes: whether there is PV, approximate energy consumption, and whether the system should operate in emergency mode during power outages (which circuits should be supported).

25. Do you carry out installations for homes and businesses (Karpacz, Kowary, Mysłakowice)?

Yes. We carry out installations and modernizations for homes and service facilities in Jelenia Góra and the surrounding area up to about 40 km, including Karpacz, Kowary, Mysłakowice, Bukowiec.

26. Do you repair lighting and sensors and controls?

Yes. We carry out repairs of lighting circuits, issues with switches, motion sensors, timers, and control elements. After repairs, we test for correct operation.

27. What to do if you feel an electric shock or smell burning?

This is a situation that should not be ignored. First, turn off the power and do not use the faulty point. We perform diagnostics and repair the cause of the fault.

28. Do you operate in Karpacz, Kowary, Mysłakowice, and Bukowiec?

Yes. We operate in the area of Jelenia Góra and within a radius of about 40 km (Karpacz, Kowary, Mysłakowice, Bukowiec, and surrounding areas). The date and arrival are arranged depending on the scope of work.

29. Is it necessary to replace all wiring during a renovation?

Not always. Sometimes, modernizing selected circuits and the distribution board is sufficient. The decision is made after assessing the condition of the installation and planned loads.

30. How to quickly determine the scope of work and completion date?

It is best to send: location, a brief description, and 1-2 photos (of the distribution board or work area). Based on this, we propose further steps and a possible completion date.

If you want to quickly determine the scope of work and a preliminary estimate, contact us. We operate in the area of Jelenia Góra and surrounding areas up to 40 km (including Karpacz, Kowary, Mysłakowice, Bukowiec). To expedite the estimate, send: location, a brief description, and 1-2 photos (e.g., of the distribution board or work area).
