Most electrical service calls fall into a small set of repeating problems: a breaker that keeps tripping, an outlet that stopped working, lights that flicker when the AC kicks on, or a GFCI that won't reset. The trick is diagnosis — actually finding the cause — not just replacing the visible part.

A tripping breaker, for example, can mean six different things. Maybe the circuit is genuinely overloaded (too many devices), or there's a short downstream of a buried junction, or the breaker itself is failing, or there's loose wire in a backstabbed outlet. Replacing the breaker without diagnosing the actual cause usually means the problem comes back in a week.

We approach repairs the same way we approach installs. We listen to what the symptom is, where and when it happens, what changed recently. We test methodically — circuit tester, multimeter, sometimes a clamp meter on the panel for a few minutes — until we've identified the actual fault. Then we tell you what's wrong, what fixing it costs, and we do the fix.

Most repairs get done on the first visit. Some discover something bigger (an aluminum branch wiring run, a failed Federal Pacific panel, an underrated service) — when that happens, you get a clear written estimate for the larger work, no pressure to decide on the spot.
