  • Flickering or dimming lights

  • Tripped breakers or blown fuses

  • Dead outlets or light switches

  • Constantly warm or buzzing panels

  • Faulty wiring from previous work or remodels

We bring 25+ years of troubleshooting experience to every service call — solving the problem correctly the first time.

Our Troubleshooting Process

We don’t rely on trial and error — we use a systematic, technical approach to find the exact cause of your issue.

Our process:

  1. Inspect & Test – Visual inspection and test across affected circuits.

  2. Isolate the Fault – Identify overloaded or damaged wiring, devices, or breakers.

  3. Repair or Replace – Correct the problem safely using high-quality materials.

  4. Verify System Performance – Confirm normal operation and grounding.

  5. Explain the Cause & Prevention – We show you what happened, why, and how to prevent it.

You’ll never be left wondering what went wrong — or what you paid for.
