Troubleshooting FAQs
Why do my lights keep flickering?
Often a loose neutral, overloaded circuit, or incompatible dimmer. We test connections, devices, and loads to resolve the root cause.
My breaker won’t reset—what now?
Don’t force it. A short or fault is likely. We identify the faulted leg or device and correct it so the breaker can reset safely.
Are warm outlets dangerous?
Yes—heat can indicate loose connections or overload. Turn off the breaker and call us to prevent further damage.
Can you fix just one problem area?
Absolutely. We’ll address the immediate issue and note any findings so you can decide on additional work as needed.
Do you repair aluminum wiring issues?
We evaluate connections and can install approved repairs (such as pigtailing with listed connectors) to improve safety and reliability.
When is it an emergency?
Burning smells, sparking, or smoking devices—treat these as urgent and call for emergency electrical service any time, day or night.
