HOW WE CAN HELP

Answers for electrical
problems at home.

Outlets and switches

Investigate dead outlets, intermittent power and damaged receptacles or switches.

Breakers and circuits

Assess recurring breaker trips, loss of power and problems with circuit connections.

Lights and controls

Troubleshoot flickering lights, fixtures that stop working and switch or dimmer issues.

Damaged connections

Inspect affected wiring and equipment for visible deterioration, then discuss the work needed.

Damage hidden behind the breaker

Removing the breaker revealed damage at the breaker connection and the corresponding panel connection—areas concealed when the breaker is installed.

WHAT TO EXPECT

A clear explanation.
A practical repair plan.

We start with your description of the issue, inspect the affected equipment and carry out appropriate electrical checks to help identify the cause.

Once we understand the problem, we explain the findings and repair options. Straightforward repairs may be possible during the visit; work requiring additional parts or access may need a return appointment.

Send photos of the affected outlet, fixture or panel exterior if you can do so safely. There’s no need to remove covers or expose wiring to prepare for the visit.

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED

A few useful answers.

Can you find out why only part of my home has lost power?

Yes. Tell us which outlets, lights or rooms are affected and when it started. We can investigate the circuit and affected equipment.

Does a tripping breaker mean the breaker needs replacement?

Not necessarily. We investigate the circuit, connected equipment and breaker before recommending a repair.

Can the repair be completed during the first visit?

Some repairs can. The fault, parts required, access and extent of damage determine whether a return appointment is needed.

What information should I send?

Include your location, the symptoms, when the issue started and any recent changes or work. Photos of the affected equipment help us prepare.

Do repairs include drywall patching or painting?

Drywall patching, painting and other finish restoration are excluded unless specifically included in your estimate.
