    Voltage Drop & Dim Lights in the New Capital?

    Voltage drop damages appliances and shortens their lifespan. We measure voltage at every point to precisely identify the source of the problem.

    What's the Real Cause?

    A wire cross-section smaller than needed for the actual run length from the unit meter to the outlets
    Loose or oxidized connections inside the distribution panel raising the circuit's total resistance
    Multiple heavy appliances sharing one circuit beyond its original design, causing a clear drop under simultaneous use
    A relatively long distance between the supply transformer and the residential unit, common in newly developed areas like the New Capital

    When Do You Need Immediate Action?

    Lights appear dim or flicker when other appliances are on
    Appliances run slowly or heat up faster than normal
    Fan or AC running slower than usual

    Our Fix Process

    1Measure voltage with a voltmeter at every outlet and panel, under load and without, to compare the difference
    2Trace the largest drop point (wire, connection, or distance) by measuring from the meter through to the point of use
    3Replace the wire with a larger cross-section or repair loose panel connections depending on the drop's source
    4Re-measure voltage under full operating load to confirm it stays within safe limits

    FAQ

    What causes voltage drop in my apartment?

    Most common causes: undersized wire, loose connection in the panel, long run with insufficient cross-section, or overloaded circuit.

    Does low voltage damage appliances?

    Yes. Low voltage increases current draw and burns out motors in fridges, ACs, and washing machines over time.

    How do you measure voltage drop?

    We use a voltmeter at every outlet and panel to compare voltage under load vs. no load to find the exact fault.

    What is the most common fix for voltage drop?

    Replacing the wire with a larger cross-section or repairing loose connections in the distribution panel.

    Do you cover the New Administrative Capital?

    Yes, we serve the New Administrative Capital and all its residential compounds.

    Is voltage drop caused by the utility company or just the apartment's wiring?

    It can be either. Sometimes the drop starts outside the unit, sometimes it's entirely internal. Precise measurement identifies the source.

    What does voltage-drop diagnosis cost in the New Capital?

    Measurement and diagnosis have a fixed price; repair cost (wire or connection replacement) is set once the actual cause is known.
