Frequently asked questions

Why does my breaker keep tripping after storms? +

Post-storm tripping suggests lightning surge or damaged insulation. We thermal-scan your panel, check connections, and meter circuits. Often a tripped GFCI or overloaded circuit. If surge damage is found, we repair it and recommend whole-home SPD.

What does it mean if an outlet is dead but the breaker isn't off? +

Could be a bad outlet, loose connection, or tripped GFCI upstream. We use a multimeter to trace the issue — usually a burnt outlet or failed switch loop. We identify the root cause and replace/repair the bad component.

Are flickering lights a serious electrical problem? +

Not always, but don't ignore them. Could be a loose bulb, dimmer issue, or dangerous loose wiring inside the wall. We diagnose with a meter, check connections at the fixture and breaker, and fix the root cause — sometimes it's just a bad ballast.

★★★★★

“Jairo texted 15 min before arrival and he showed up on time. He examined the issue and provided the cost before replacing the faulty plug. After restoring the power, he also installed my countertop gas stove for a very reasonable additional charge. Very professional work.”
