Troubleshooting & Diagnostics
Electrical issues don’t fix themselves. Whether a breaker keeps tripping, an outlet suddenly dies, or lights flicker when something turns on — there’s always a reason.
I specialize in root-cause diagnostics, finding exactly what failed and why, then fixing it cleanly and permanently.

Common Electrical Issues I Troubleshoot
-
Loose connections, overloaded circuits, or failing breakers.
-
Backstabbed outlets, bad GFCIs, degraded devices.
-
Loose neutrals, failing lighting drivers, or high-resistance connections.
-
Loose upstream devices, shared neutral faults, or panel issues.
-
Serious heat-related faults — these should be inspected immediately.
-
Moisture issues, wiring faults, or faulty downstream loads.
Why Troubleshooting Matters
Most electrical failures come from heat, loose connections, or overloaded circuits. Simply resetting a breaker or changing a device is guesswork — and the issue always returns. Troubleshooting for me is about finding the root cause.
My Diagnostic Process
-
Ask targeted questions
Your symptoms narrow down where to start — so time isn’t wasted guessing or opening things unnecessarily.
-
Inspect and isolate
Panel, devices, and wiring are checked methodically until the failure is isolated — not assumed.
-
Fix the issue cleanly
Once the cause is confirmed, I explain the fix and make the repair only if you want to move forward.
