Common Electrical Repairs We Handle
Our electrical repair services run the gamut. Here’s just some of what we do in our area.
- Outlet replacement: If your outlets don’t hold plugs snugly, that can cause arcing, which is a serious fire risk. We replace old and damaged outlets and can even add new outlets where you need them. It’s all about marrying convenience and safety.
- Circuit breaker replacement: A faulty breaker’s a serious safety issue. It’s also one of our most common repairs. We’ll check it and replace any faulty breakers to keep your circuits (and you) protected.
- Wiring and wire replacement: Damaged and outdated wires are, again, one of the biggest hazards. They’re a bit more complicated to replace vs. a circuit breaker, but we do that too, and we’ve been doing it for 40 years!
- Fuse box replacement: These are way out of date, we’re talking 60 to 80 year old tech, and don’t have the same protections as a circuit breaker. We’ll replace it with a modern panel and make sure you’re squared away for the future.
- Flickering lights: If your lights are flickering, you might have loose wiring or an overtaxed circuit. We’ll find and fix the issue.
- Dead or non-working outlets: A dead outlet might be a tripped GFCI outlet or a wiring fault. Either way, it’s dangerous and we’ll replace the outlet and check your wiring while we’re at it.
- Electrical code updates: Having everything up to code helps you keep your home safe, and older homes don’t usually pass the grade. We get in there, inspect your home, and bring it up to code however we can.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my outlet not work even though the breaker isn't tripped?
Could be a tripped GFCI outlet (these are common in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, etc.), a switch-controlled “half-hot” outlet, or even a wiring fault. We spot what the problem is and fix it for you.
Is a fuse box dangerous?
Fuse boxes still work but they’re super outdated; upgrading to a modern electrical panel (go for 200-amps) adds safety features like surge/overcurrent protection. We can upgrade panels for you, too.
Should I replace aluminum wiring?
For the most part, yes. You’ll probably eventually need a rewire sooner than later, so that’s the best course of action. Aluminum expands and contracts, so that’ll loosen the connections after awhile. That equals a big fire risk. We’ve been replacing aluminum wiring in older homes for decades, so give us a call and we’ll talk about rewiring.
