Complete Power Outage
Lost power to your entire home or business? We diagnose whether it's your panel, your service line, or a utility issue — and fix what we can immediately.
Smoking or Burning Wires
If you smell burning or see smoke near an outlet, switch, or panel — this is an emergency. Turn off the breaker and call us immediately.
Arcing Breakers
Breakers that spark, buzz, or arc when you flip them are a fire hazard. We replace faulty breakers and inspect for underlying wiring issues.
Sparking Outlets
Outlets that spark when you plug something in can indicate loose wiring, damaged receptacles, or overloaded circuits. We fix the root cause.
Electrical Fire Prevention
If you've had a small electrical fire or near-miss, we inspect your entire system to identify and eliminate the hazard before it happens again.
Storm Damage Repair
Lightning strikes, downed lines, and power surges can damage your electrical system. We assess and repair storm-related electrical damage.
