Panel Breaker is Tripped

If you don't have any power in your home, it might be time to check your electrical panel to see if there are any tripped breakers. If you spot a tripped breaker, try your best to switch it over to its original position. If you can't, remember that some breakers need to be flipped to the "off" position before turning it back on. If you don't have any luck, give our office a call. We'll send a trained residential electrician in Carrolton to your home to fix the problem on-site.

Overhead Fan Stops Working

If you have an overhead fan in your living room or bedroom, you know how quickly it can accumulate dust. Most homeowners clean up using a rod duster. However, sometimes homeowners accidentally hit the fan direction switch when doing so. But, instead of flipping it "on" or "off," they bump it into a limbo zone where neither direction is selected. When this happens, your overhead fan will not spin. If one of your fans stops working suddenly, this is one of the most common reasons why. If you're sure you didn't hit the fan direction switch, it could be an indication of a larger problem. In this case, call our office for a free phone consultation. We'll troubleshoot with you over the phone and if necessary, send out an electrician.

Kitchen Breaker Keeps Tripping

If your home was built in the last 35 years, chances are it has two 20-amp circuits running to your kitchen countertop outlets. Newer homes will have three circuits. If you're constantly tripping the breaker to your kitchen, it's most likely because you have too many electrical devices connected to the same circuit. To help alleviate this problem, place appliances like coffee makers and toasters on two different circuits. That way, they can share the load.

At the end of the day, your home is your place of solitude and relaxation. But, when you have electrical issues in your home, things can quickly go from peaceful to problematic. Whether you're renovating your home and need a new room wired for power or your panel breaker keeps giving your problems, L&M Electric is here to assist. If you have questions about an issue or need to schedule service, our team is ready to help answer your questions and coordinate the best time for a residential electrician to come to your home in Carrolton.

Install Surge Protectors

Intense lighting storms can cause powerful surges of electricity that ruin your home's electrical appliances and amenities. Surge protectors installed at your electrical panel can help prevent these surges by grounding the electricity running through your home. They do so by directing it away from your electrical devices. This common solution is inexpensive, effective, and always a better choice than replacing expensive items like TVs and computers.

 Electrical Repairs Carrolton, GA

Examine Your Breaker Panel

Breaker panels control the power to your home. When they go bad or are damaged, there's a good chance that you will lose power to most of the rooms in your house. Open your breaker panel and keep a sharp eye out for signs of corrosion and rust. Double-check that each breaker you see flips on and off properly. If you notice corrosion or if the breaker switches won't flip, it's time to get in touch with a residential electrician in Carrolton, GA, who can inspect your breaker panel and recommend upgrades if necessary.

 Electrical Safety Inspection Company Carrolton, GA

Test Your GFIs

GFIs, or Ground Fault Interrupters, are similar to surge protectors in that they prevent electrical damage from happening in your home. The primary job of a GFI is to prevent electrical shocks that happen during a ground fault. Because water is a conductor of electricity, GFIs should be installed anywhere that an outlet comes into contact with water. You should try to test your GFIs every month, if possible, to ensure that they are working correctly. When you look closely at your GFI, you will notice a "test" and a "reset" button. Hit the "test" button to trip the GFI outlet and then hit "reset" to restore power. If your outlet resets, your GFI is working as it should. If not, you need to replace your GFI outlet. Because electricity is involved, we recommend hiring a professional to install new GFIs in your home. That way, you know the job is done right.

Replace Outdated Light Bulbs

The right light bulb can add the perfect amount of ambiance to your home. Eventually, however, even the best light bulbs will need replacing. While they don't need checking every month, it's a good idea to inspect all your bulbs at the beginning of the year. If any of your bulbs are dead, you should replace them. You should also consider replacing bulbs that are incandescent with LED lights. LED light bulbs may cost more upfront but use less electricity and are more efficient over the long run.

Schedule a Home Safety Inspection

In terms of preventative maintenance, scheduling a safety inspection for your home's electrical systems should be a high priority. These inspections will shine a light on the electrical features in your home that need to be fixed. Most modern electrical fires are caused by short circuit arcs, defective insulation, or broken wiring. An inspection conducted by a qualified electrician will help determine what needs to be fixed so you and your family stay safe in your home. Your inspector should cover your whole home and will examine common features such as:

  • Breakers
  • Fans
  • Exposed Wiring
  • Electrical Panels
  • Circuits
  • Switches
  • Outlets and More

The Kiwanis Club of LaGrange presented the West Georgia Technical College with $10,000.

Funds received from this award will be allotted for both the Kiwanis Johnson-Frear Endowment which supports the Foundation’s Gap Funding Program for LaGrange students and a new scholarship.

Quarterback Julian Lewis had one of the best freshman seasons in Georgia high school football history. Now, Lewis is already thinking about where he will play college football.

Lewis is a member of the class of 2026, so he is unranked by many of the top recruiting sites. The 6-foot-1, 175-pound quarterback has no shortage of suitors despite being only a rising sophomore at Carrollton High School in Carrollton, Georgia.

Lewis holds over 30 scholarship offers. The Carrollton quarterback finished his freshman season in 2022 with 48 touchdown passes and 12 interceptions.

Lewis had an outstanding performance in a defeat in the 7A state championship game. Lewis threw for 531 passing yards against Mill Creek, but Carrollton lost, 70-35.

The class of 2026 star quarterback visited the Georgia Bulldogs in early June. Lewis announced his top schools are Georgia, LSU, Texas A&M, FSU, Oregon, Alabama, USC and Ohio State.

Accurate throws like this are why so many of the top college football program want Lewis:

The first MaxPreps Top 25 matchup of the season lived up to the hype. No. 14 Langston Hughes (Fairburn, Ga.) held on for a 39-34 win against No. 12 Carrollton (Ga.) on ESPN2. The Trojans jumped out to a 22-6 lead early but the defending Class AAAAAA state champs reeled off 27 straight points to take a 33-22 lead midway through the third quarter.

Julian Lewis and the Trojans responded and scored the next 12 points to take a 34-33 lead with just over four minutes remaining. Ohio State bound quarterback Air Noland connected with Jovanni McGee with just over a minute left for a 25-yard score to take a 39-34 lead. The Panthers defense stuffed Carrollton on the final play of the game to extend their winning streak to 16.

The top-rated recruit in the Class of 2024 — Dylan Raiola — led No. 10 Buford (Ga.) to an 18-0 shutout win against No. 6 St. Frances Academy (Baltimore).

The Monarchs were up 21-0 after three quarters but the Huskies cut the deficit to 21-14 after a 55-yard pick-six from Tayten Beyer with just over four minutes remaining.

No. 2 Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) erased a 28-21 halftime deficit and cruised to a 63-42 win over Corner Canyon (Draper, Utah).

Carroll County woman charged with child molestation twice within one week

CARROLL COUNTY, Ga. - Deputies in Carroll County arrested a woman twice within the span of a week on charges she molested a 14-year-old boy.

Investigators said they first uncovered the abuse when the victim’s family reported him as missing.

While he ended up returning home on his own, the boy’s aunt told deputies that a neighbor, 24-year-old McKenzie Cook, had tried to prey on him in the past.

"We learned that [the boy] had been telling some of the children he goes to school with that he had been staying at McKenzie Cook’s house and had actually shown some videos and some photographs of the two of them," said Ashley Hulsey, spokesperson for the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office.

After investigators searched Cook’s phone and reportedly found "inappropriate images," they initially charged Cook on Sept. 8 with child molestation and enticing a child.

"She said, ‘Oh my gosh, this will never happen again,’" said Hulsey.

But, when she bonded out of jail, deputies said it did.

Six days later, the boy’s family called sheriff’s deputies again on Sept. 14 to report him missing again.

?? ??

This time, Carroll deputies said they knew right where to go: Cook’s house on Tumlin Creek Road.

They said as they knocked, a deputy looked in the window and discovered Cook "wrapped in a blanket as she was attempting to conceal herself."

Then, out came the boy.

"When she did finally open the door, the child did come out and was basically in his underwear," Hulsey said.

Deputies said in addition to charges of child molestation and enticing a child, in the second instance she was also hit with an obstruction charge.

"She had no problem breaking the law again after she obviously knew that it was wrong," Hulsey said. "And then, chose to do it again."

That time around, a Carroll County judge denied Cook's bond, keeping her behind bars until her next day in court.
