Electrical troubleshooting
Something not right?
Half your kitchen outlets stopped working. The breaker keeps tripping every time the microwave runs. There's a hot spot on the switch plate. The lights flicker when the furnace kicks on. All of it means something's failing — and it needs a licensed electrician to isolate the fault safely.
We use systematic diagnostics and 30+ years of electrical experience to isolate the issue, then explain what we found in plain English before repair work moves forward.
What we get called about.
- Dead outlets — often a failed backstab or upstream GFCI
- Nuisance breaker trips — overloaded circuit, weak breaker, or hidden short
- Hot switch plates or receptacles — loose termination or aluminum-wire connection failing
- Buzzing electrical panel — usually a loose lug or failing breaker
- Flickering lights — bad neutral, oversized load, or utility issue
- Aluminum branch wiring — assessment and CO/ALR device or pigtail remediation
- Post-storm damage — surge, water intrusion, or animal damage
- Failed inspections — punch-list fixes for open permits
