Electrical Repair and Troubleshooting
Electrical problems are not always obvious. A light that flickers, an outlet that stops working or a breaker that keeps tripping can have several possible causes, from a worn device to an overloaded circuit to a wiring problem. Troubleshooting means finding the actual cause rather than guessing.
Common reasons to call:
- Outlets or switches that do not work
- Lights that flicker, dim or buzz
- Breakers that trip repeatedly
- Outlets that feel warm, look discolored or spark
- A burning smell near outlets, switches or the panel
- Part of the house without power
Electrical Panel Upgrades
The electrical panel is the center of your home's electrical system. It receives power and distributes it to circuits throughout the house. Older panels may have limited capacity, and today's homes often use far more power than those panels were designed for.
Reasons homeowners consider a panel upgrade:
- Breakers that trip often, even with normal use
- Adding an EV charger, a new HVAC system or other large equipment
- A kitchen or home addition that adds electrical load
- An older panel with worn or outdated components
- Wanting room for more circuits
We can look at your situation and explain whether an upgrade makes sense. Some projects, such as larger panel upgrades, can involve city or utility requirements. Ask us about your project and we can explain what may apply.
Circuit Breaker Repair and Replacement
Breakers protect your wiring by shutting off a circuit when it carries too much current. A breaker that trips once in a while may be doing its job. One that trips repeatedly, will not reset, feels hot or is damaged needs attention. We repair and replace circuit breakers and look into why the problem is happening, because replacing a breaker without finding the cause may only hide the issue.
Electrical Wiring and Rewiring
Homes built decades ago can have wiring that was designed for a very different level of use. Rewiring and wiring work can also be part of renovations and additions. We help with new wiring, wiring repairs and rewiring where it is needed. If you are not sure whether your home needs it, an inspection can help you decide between targeted fixes and a larger project.
Outlet, Switch and GFCI Outlet Installation
Too few outlets leads to extension cords and overloaded power strips. Worn outlets and switches may fail or become unsafe. We install and replace outlets and switches, and add new outlets where you need them.
GFCI outlets help protect against shock by shutting off power quickly when they detect certain faults. They are commonly used in places where electricity and water may meet, such as kitchens, bathrooms, garages and outdoor areas. If your outlets near water do not have GFCI protection, or an existing GFCI no longer works properly, we can install or replace them.
Indoor and Outdoor Lighting Installation
Lighting affects how a home looks and how safe it feels. We install indoor lighting such as recessed, ceiling and wall fixtures, and outdoor lighting for entries, patios, walkways and yards. If you are replacing old fixtures or adding new ones, we can help with the wiring and installation. See also our [Electrical Fixture Replacement] and [Outdoor Electrical Fixtures] options.
Ceiling Fan Installation
A ceiling fan can make a room feel more comfortable year-round. Proper installation matters: a fan needs a secure mounting point rated for its weight and movement, and the right electrical connection and switching. We install ceiling fans in bedrooms, living rooms and other spaces, including replacing an existing light fixture with a fan.
EV Charger Installation
Charging an electric vehicle at home is convenient, but it adds a significant load to your electrical system. Home chargers often need a dedicated circuit, and the panel has to have room to support it. We install EV chargers and the circuits they need, and we can tell you whether your panel is ready or needs an upgrade. Because requirements can vary by charger and by property, tell us about your charger or vehicle when you contact us.
Dedicated Circuit Installation
Some appliances and equipment should not share a circuit with other devices. Examples include ovens, ranges, dryers, air conditioners, EV chargers and some other large equipment. A dedicated circuit gives the item its own supply and breaker. We install dedicated circuits for appliances and equipment, and we can check whether a new purchase will need one before installation day. See also [Electrical Appliance Installation].
Electrical Safety Inspections
An electrical safety inspection is a closer look at the condition of your home's electrical system. Homeowners often ask for one when buying or moving into an older home, after noticing warning signs, before a remodel, or simply for peace of mind. Contact us to discuss what you would like checked and what we can do for your home.
Electrical Fixture Replacement
Fixtures wear out or go out of style. We replace light fixtures and other electrical fixtures, including old or damaged ones, and make sure the connection is secure.
Warning Signs You Should Not Ignore
- Burning smell or visible scorching near outlets, switches or the panel
- Sparks when plugging something in
- Outlets or switches that are hot to the touch
- Frequent breaker trips or breakers that will not reset
- Lights that dim or flicker when large appliances start
- Buzzing or crackling sounds from outlets, switches or the panel
- Outlets without GFCI protection near water
Any of these is a good reason to contact an electrician. [Request Service]
