Breakers that trip repeatedly
Trips often come from an overloaded circuit or a failed appliance. We test the whole circuit to find the culprit.
What to know before you get started.
If it feels dangerous right now, such as a burning smell or a hot panel, call us and we will tell you straight whether it can be worked in. Our emergency electrician page explains what counts as urgent and what to do first. We test your circuits to find the cause before we quote any repair.
Electrical problems we can troubleshoot
Tell us what happened and what else is affected. We use these details to find the exact source of your power problem.
Lights that flicker or dim
We look at whether this happens to one light or your whole house. We find the loose connection or the starting load causing the issue.
Dead outlets, switches, or fixtures
We test your devices and the wires behind them. We find the failed part and get your power back on safely.
How we diagnose your problem
We start with the symptoms you tell us about. Then we look at your panel, your devices, and your circuits.
Map what is affected
We track which rooms lost power and what still works. This helps us see the pattern of the problem.
Check devices, protection, and connections
We look at your outlets, your breakers, and your connections. We look for signs of heat or damage in your panel.
Test before replacing
We use our meters to test your voltage and continuity. We only replace what is broken.
When a repair may lead to a larger correction
We try to keep your repair small. If we find bigger problems, we will show you and explain why they need attention.
Contained device or connection repair
If only one part is failing, we replace it and test the rest to make sure it is safe.
Damaged or incompatible conditions
If we find heat damage or unsafe wiring, we tell you how to fix it so your home stays safe.
Repeated or multi-circuit problems
If your whole house has issues, we look at your main panel and your service connections.
What to send with a repair request
A short description is enough to get started. Add photos or the label inside your panel door if you have them.
Symptom and timing
Tell us when it started and what you were doing. This helps us find the answer faster.
Safe exterior photos
Send us a photo of the affected outlet or your panel label. Never open a panel cover yourself.

It may be a loose connection, a shared circuit, or a large motor starting up. We test your system to find the cause.
