Repairs FAQs
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
A breaker trips to protect you, so it is doing its job. The cause is usually an overloaded circuit, a short, or a failing breaker. We trace which it is rather than just resetting it, because a breaker that keeps tripping is a warning, not a nuisance to ignore.
Is a burning smell from an outlet an emergency?
Treat it as one. A burning smell, scorch marks, or a hot outlet or switch can mean a loose connection that is arcing behind the wall, which is a fire risk. Shut that circuit off at the panel if you can and call us right away.
Can you find why only some of my outlets are dead?
Yes. Dead outlets often trace back to a tripped GFCI, a loose connection, or a failed device upstream on the circuit. We follow the circuit to the actual break instead of guessing, so it gets fixed once rather than coming back next month.
Do you charge to diagnose an electrical problem?
We may charge a fair diagnostic fee for hunting down an intermittent or hidden fault, because that is the hard part of the job. We tell you that fee before we roll a truck, and it goes toward the repair if you have us do the work.
