Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if my power goes out in part of my home?
If only part of your home has lost power, it could be due to a tripped circuit breaker, faulty wiring, or a specific appliance causing the issue. It’s best to check your breaker panel first, and if the issue persists, call a licensed electrician from High 5 Plumbing, Heating & Cooling to diagnose and fix the problem.
How often should I replace my electrical panel?
Electrical panels typically last between 25 to 40 years. If your home’s panel is older or you are experiencing frequent electrical issues, it may be time to replace it to meet modern safety standards and power demands.
Do I need surge protection for my entire home?
Yes, whole-home surge protection is recommended to safeguard your appliances, electronics, and electrical systems from power surges, which can be caused by lightning, power outages, or large appliances cycling on and off.

Installing an EV charger at home offers the convenience of charging your electric vehicle overnight and ensures you always have enough charge for daily use. It can also reduce the long-term cost of operating your vehicle compared to using public charging stations.
