What we troubleshoot
- Dead outlets or switches — often a downstream connection, a tripped GFCI upstream, or a loose backstab
- Repeated breaker trips — overload, short, ground fault, or a failing breaker
- Flickering lights — loose neutral, failing bulb driver, or something more serious on the service side
- Buzzing outlets or switches — always a loose connection, always a fire risk
- Partial power loss to sections of the house — usually a burned lug or a failed neutral
- Warm outlets or dimmers — undersized wiring, overload, or a bad device
- Hot smell with no visible source — a serious call, needs same-day investigation
Questions we get about this service
How much does troubleshooting cost?
We charge for the time it takes. Simple diagnoses (one outlet, one obvious cause) can be under an hour. Complex intermittent issues can take longer. Either way you pay for what it actually takes.
