Troubleshooting

Electrical systems are an integral part of many homes because they power essential appliances and devices. If you lose power or an electrical component isn’t working how it’s supposed to, it can cause inconveniences, safety risks and potential damage to your devices.

When electrical malfunctions occur, our expertly trained residential electricians will troubleshoot the problem. Once we identify the underlying cause of the problem, we’ll explain it to you and create a plan to fix the issue. Whether you’re dealing with a minor or major electrical malfunction, we have the expertise and equipment to handle the problem efficiently.

Planned Electrical Maintenance

With electricity, it’s easy to assume that everything is working properly until an issue arises. Our planned electrical maintenance can help ensure the electrical systems in your home are functioning optimally at all times. Plus, routine maintenance allows us to identify failing components or potential issues before they escalate.

When you hire us to provide this service, you’ll enjoy even greater peace of mind in your home. We’ll inspect your home’s entire electrical system to ensure it’s safe and up to current code requirements.

Short Circuit Repairs

When active and inactive wires come into contact, it often results in a short circuit. A short circuit can lead to a blown fuse or trip a circuit breaker. Regardless of the cause, a short circuit can be a safety hazard for you and your family, making it crucial to take immediate action.

Our residential electrical services include short circuit repairs — rely on our technicians to handle the job. We will locate the source of the short circuit and conduct the necessary repairs safely.

Circuit Breaker Replacements

Circuit breakers will trip or turn off a line’s power supply as a safety measure to prevent overloading. In general, short circuits or a ground fault are responsible for causing a circuit breaker to trip, but faulty breakers will trip or fail to trip when they should for no reason. If you have a malfunctioning circuit breaker, we’ll replace it for you.

Our licensed technicians are skilled at working with circuit breakers and will take careful precautions to ensure a safe, code-compliant replacement. Our circuit breaker replacement can improve your home’s electrical system performance, prevent interruptions and protect your electronics from damage caused by electrical surges.

Electric Panel Replacements and Upgrades

Whereas circuit breakers are dedicated to individual power lines, your electric panel is responsible for providing power for your whole house. If your panel isn’t working properly, it can disrupt your daily routine. Similarly, older electric panels can be a hassle if they don’t provide ample power for all the electrical lines in your home or they are out of code.

Whether you need to replace a dysfunctional panel or you want to upgrade to a newer, higher-capacity unit, we’ll take care of it for you. In addition to replacing a panel or installing an upgraded unit, we can install a surge protector on your electric panel. A surge protector will safeguard connected devices from damage if there’s an electrical surge.

Backup Generator Installation

Just like we install everyday items such as light fixtures, we also install backup generators. A whole-house backup generator will ensure your home has a power supply even when the supply from your utility company is temporarily down.

Our experienced technicians know their way around various types of generators. As a result, we can help you determine the ideal home backup generator based on your space and power needs. If the existing electrical panel needs an update or other electrical connections are required for the installation, our technicians can handle it. Trust us for all your electrical services and backup generator needs.
