Troubleshooting & repairs

Something stopped working and you don't know why. Eric finds the cause, explains it plainly and fixes it. You won't be sold a panel when you needed a $4 connection redone.

Common calls

  • A breaker that keeps tripping, or a GFCI that won't reset.
  • Dead outlets or a dead half of the house. Often a failed backstab connection or a lost neutral.
  • Lights that flicker or dim when the furnace, well pump or microwave kicks on.
  • A switch, outlet or cover plate that's warm to the touch, buzzing or discolored.
  • Burning or hot-plastic smell with no obvious source.
  • Outside and garage circuits that quit after rain or a hard freeze.
Smell burning, see smoke, or a panel is sparking? Turn off the main breaker if it's safe to reach. If there is fire or smoke, call 911 first. Then call (607) 354-1012.

How a service call works

Call or text and describe what's happening. A short video often helps. Eric will tell you whether it sounds like something you can check yourself, like a tripped GFCI in another room, or something that needs a visit. On site, the fault is traced with proper test equipment instead of guesswork. The fix is explained and priced before it's made.

How it's priced

You'll be told the cost of the visit up front. Once the problem is found, the repair is quoted before any work is done. You stay in control the whole way.

Free estimate

Tell me what's going on. You'll get a straight answer and a price in writing.

Call, or text a photo of the panel, the outlet or the problem. I'll tell you what it needs, what it costs and when I can get there. The quote is good for 30 days.
