What's Involved
Electrical Troubleshooting & Repair
A dead outlet can be caused by a damaged device, a loose connection, a tripped GFCI, or a wiring fault. We test the circuit to locate the problem before making repairs.
Repeated breaker trips, warm outlets, and lights that dim when an appliance starts can indicate a wiring or service problem. We inspect the affected circuit and explain the repair options.

Questions
Electrical Troubleshooting & Repair FAQ
My outlet is dead but the breaker isn't tripped. Why?
Possible causes include a tripped GFCI elsewhere on the circuit, a damaged outlet, or a loose connection. We test the circuit to determine the cause.
Is a warm outlet dangerous?
A warm or discolored outlet, or a burning smell, means a bad connection that can start a fire. Stop using it and have it looked at soon. If it's actively smoking or sparking, that's an emergency — call us.
Why do my lights dim when an appliance turns on?
A little dimming can be normal. Noticeable dimming across the house can indicate a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or a service problem that needs inspection.
