Common Residential Electrical Repairs We Handle
We handle a wide range of residential repairs with the precision and care you expect from a specialized residential electrician. Here are the issues we fix most often:
Circuit Breaker Repair
If your circuit breaker trips frequently or refuses to reset, we’ll inspect the panel, identify overloads or faults, and replace worn breakers as needed to restore reliable power.
Electrical Panel Repair
We repair aging or damaged electric panels by tightening loose connections, replacing burnt components, and ensuring the entire system meets modern safety codes. If not, we’ll discuss electrical panel upgrades.
Outlet and Switch Repair
Dead electrical outlets, cracked faceplates, or switches that spark or feel hot are all signs of underlying problems we can repair quickly and safely.
Indoor Lighting & Lighting Control Repair
From recessed lighting to chandeliers, we repair loose wiring, faulty sockets, replace dimmers, and lighting control systems to get your fixtures glowing properly.
Smoke and CO Detector Repair
Hardwired smoke and CO detectors that chirp, fail to sync, or don’t respond to test signals can be replaced to restore full safety coverage.
Ceiling Fan Repair
Wobbling blades, motor noise, or lights that won’t turn on? We repair fan wiring, remotes, and mounting hardware to get everything working again.
Outdoor Lighting Repair
We troubleshoot outdoor lighting, including landscape, floodlights, and motion-activated systems, to fix damaged wiring, water intrusion, or sensor failures.
Hot Tub & Sauna Repair
If your hot tub trips the breaker or won’t turn on, we can inspect and repair wiring, GFCI protection, and dedicated circuits for safe soaking.
Advanced Repairs & Code Corrections
Some electrical issues run deeper than faulty outlets and light fixtures. Our team of experienced electricians is trained to diagnose and correct complex problems that impact the safety, performance, and code compliance of your home’s electrical system.
Grounding and Bonding Repairs
If your home lacks proper grounding or has unsafe metal-to-metal contact, we can install or upgrade the bonding system to reduce the risk of shock and ensure compliance with current safety codes.
Surge Protection Replacement
We replace damaged or outdated whole-home surge protection systems, protecting your wiring and appliances from dangerous power surges and voltage spikes.
Partial Knob-and-Tube Rewiring
For older homes with dated knob and tube wiring, we offer spot repairs and phased upgrades to replace worn or unsafe connections without requiring a full rewire all at once.
Code Violation Corrections
We identify and correct non-compliant or unpermitted electrical work, outdated wiring methods, and unsafe installations in line with the latest national and Seattle residential electrical codes.
Wiring Fault Diagnostics and Repairs
We locate and fix hidden wiring problems behind walls, in attics, or beneath floors that cause power loss, flickering, or unexplained electrical failures.
Electrical Panel Troubleshooting & Reconditioning
We inspect aging or problematic panels for load imbalance, overheating, or poor connections and make targeted repairs to prevent future failures.
Dedicated Circuit Troubleshooting and Repair
When dedicated circuits for high-demand appliances fail, we trace and repair improper wiring, undersized conductors, or loose terminals that compromise performance.
Neutral and Shared-Neutral Circuit Repairs
We diagnose and correct problems with shared neutral wiring that can cause voltage fluctuations, tripped breakers, or equipment damage.
Arc Fault and Ground Fault Device Diagnostics
If your AFCI or GFCI breaker is tripping without cause, we identify and repair wiring imbalances, shared neutral issues, and device failures.
Service Entrance and Meter Base Repairs
We repair corroded or damaged components at the service entrance, including weather heads, meter sockets, and lugs, which are essential for safe and uninterrupted electrical service.
Signs Your Seattle Home May Need Electrical Repair
Electrical problems often start with subtle signs before turning into serious safety risks. If you’re experiencing any of the issues below, it’s time to schedule a professional repair.
- Flickering or dimming lights. This may indicate loose wiring, overloaded circuits, or poor connections in your system.
- Outlets or switches that feel hot. Heat from a device or faceplate is a major fire risk and should be addressed immediately.
- Buzzing, humming, or crackling sounds. These unusual noises from outlets, switches, or electrical panels can point to arcing or faulty wiring.
- Frequent breaker trips. Breakers that trip regularly may signal overloaded circuits, short circuits, or aging components.
- Your breaker won’t remain reset. If your breaker shuts off immediately after being reset, even with everything unplugged, you may have a grounded wire or a dangerous fault in the circuit breaker panel.
- Burning smells or scorch marks. Burning plastic odors or black marks near outlets are signs of overheating or electrical fires starting behind the scenes.
- Dead outlets or switches. These could result from a tripped GFCI outlet, disconnected wires, or a deeper failure in the circuit.
- Shocks or tingling sensations. If you feel a zap when touching an appliance or switch, grounding problems or current leakage could be to blame.
If you notice any of these warning signs, don’t wait. We’ll identify the problem and make expert repairs to restore your system’s safety and performance.
