When to call in the pros.

Call a professional if lights dim when appliances start, outlets or switches feel hot, breakers trip repeatedly, or you hear buzzing or smell burning near panels. Even a single spark or shock suggests an underlying fault that should be diagnosed and repaired by experts rather than attempted DIY.

  • Flickering or dead lights – One room or fixture constantly dims or won’t light at all (often a sign of loose wiring or overload).
  • Tripped breakers or frequent outages – Circuit breakers trip often, or part of your home loses power repeatedly, indicating an underlying fault.
  • Warm or buzzing electrical panels – Your electrical panel or fuse box feels warm to the touch, or you hear buzzing/humming sounds.
  • Outdated or unsafe components – You have old two-prong outlets, aluminum wiring, or other aging electrical components that weren’t built to modern safety standards.
  • Non-compliance with local codes – Previous DIY fixes or old installations that don’t meet current electrical code (common in older DMV homes) and could pose safety or insurance issues.

Fast fixes for flickering light and faulty circuits.

When your electrical system misbehaves, our technicians quickly diagnose problems like dead outlets, flickering lights, or frequent breaker trips. We implement safe, lasting repairs to restore reliability and prevent minor issues from becoming hazards, all with minimal disruption to your home.

  • Code-compliant installation or upgrades – All repairs or replacements are done to the latest electrical code standards (our certified electricians stay up-to-date on local codes). If a component is outdated or unsafe, we’ll upgrade it with a modern, safe equivalent.
  • Integration of smart or efficient components – If appropriate, we can incorporate modern solutions (like LED lighting, smart switches, or energy-efficient outlets) as part of your repair, giving you an upgraded system at no extra hassle.
  • Optional surge or backup systems – For added protection, we can install whole-home surge protectors or recommend backup power options when repairing your system, safeguarding your home from future outages or power spikes.
  • Final safety testing and walkthrough – Every repair concludes with a thorough safety check. We test all fixed components, ensure everything is running perfectly, and walk you through the results. You’ll see exactly what was done and gain confidence that your electrical system is truly safe and sound.
