    What you need to know.

    We start with the symptom and the history, then use meters, circuit tracers and thermal inspection to isolate the fault. You get a plain-language explanation of what failed, what it will cost to repair, and whether it points to a larger problem such as an overloaded panel or deteriorating branch wiring. Most repairs are completed on the same visit.

    Do not wait on these: a burning smell, a warm panel cover, a scorched outlet, or a breaker that trips immediately on reset all indicate an active fault. Shut the circuit off at the panel and call us. Arcing behind a wall is the leading electrical cause of house fires, and it rarely announces itself twice.

    The work, in detail.

    Tripping breakers

    Breakers that trip repeatedly, or a breaker that will not reset at all.

    Dead and intermittent outlets

    Dead outlets, half-working circuits, whole rooms or floors with no power.

    Flickering and dimming lights

    Lights that flicker or dim, especially when an appliance or motor starts.

    Heat, smell and noise

    Burning smells, buzzing panels, warm outlets and switch plates.

    GFCI and exterior circuits

    GFCIs that trip constantly, plus outdoor outlets, post lights and landscape lighting that stopped working.

    Failed connections and damage

    Backstabbed and loose connections, aluminum wiring failures, and damage after a storm, flood or rodents.

    How it works.

    01

    Symptom and history

    We start with what is happening and when. Intermittent faults are usually load-related, and that pattern is the biggest clue we have.

    02

    Isolate the fault

    Meters, circuit tracers and thermal inspection, used to find the cause instead of swapping parts.

    03

    Plain-language explanation

    We show you what failed and why, without jargon.

    04

    Price before repair

    You get the repair cost, and the diagnostic fee is credited toward it when you approve on the same visit.

    05

    Fix it, or schedule it

    Most repairs finish on the same visit. Parts-dependent work gets a return visit booked before we leave.

    No surprise invoices.

    There is a service call and diagnostic fee, and it is credited toward the repair when you approve the work on the same visit. The repair price is quoted before we touch it, along with whether the fault points to a larger problem.

    Common questions.

    Do you charge for diagnostics?+

    Yes, there is a service call and diagnostic fee, which is credited toward the repair when you approve the work on the same visit.

    Can you fix it the same day?+

    In most cases yes. Parts-dependent repairs may need a return visit, which we schedule before we leave.

    What if the problem is intermittent?+

    Tell us exactly when it happens. Intermittent faults are usually load-related, and that pattern is the biggest clue we have.
