Electrical repair and service calls
Dead outlets, tripping breakers, flickering lights. Serving Denton County and DFW.
If something electrical in your home stopped working or started acting strange, call us. We find what's actually causing it, tell you what it takes to fix, and give you the price before any work starts.
If you smell burning or see sparks
Turn off that circuit at the panel if you can reach it safely and stop using anything on it. If you see smoke or flames, get out and call 911. Call us after you're safe.
Problems we fix
- Dead outlets. Often a tripped GFCI somewhere else in the house, a loose wire, or a worn-out receptacle.
- GFCI outlets that won't reset. The device may have failed, or it's detecting a real fault downstream.
- Breakers that keep tripping. An overloaded circuit, a short, a ground fault, or a failing breaker.
- Flickering or dimming lights. A bad bulb or dimmer at one fixture. A loose connection or panel problem if it's happening across the house.
- Lights that dim when the AC starts. A little dip can be normal. A big one is worth checking.
- Half the house without power. This can be a problem at the main breaker, the service wires, or the utility. We can tell you which, and who needs to fix it.
- Warm outlets, switches, or cover plates. Heat means resistance, usually from a loose or damaged connection. Stop using it until it's checked.
- Buzzing panels or burning smells. Treat these as urgent.
- Switches and fans that quit. Failed switches, bad fan controls, and broken connections in the box.
- Outdoor outlets that stopped working. Water gets into covers and boxes, especially after a storm.
How a service call works
Tell us what's happening when you call or fill out the form. It helps to know when it started, what else is on that circuit, and whether a breaker tripped.
When we get there, we test the circuit and trace the problem to its source. Replacing parts until the problem goes away costs you money and can leave the real fault in the wall. We'd rather find it the first time.
Then we explain what we found in plain language and give you the price. You decide whether to go ahead. Nothing gets done until you approve it.
Repair or replace?
A single bad outlet or breaker is a simple repair. If we find scorched wiring, a panel that keeps causing trouble, or a problem that's going to come back, we'll tell you and lay out the options with prices so you can choose.
Our guarantee on repairs
You approve the price before we start. If our work fails within 1 year, we fix it free.
What you can check first
- Look for a tripped breaker. A tripped handle usually sits between on and off. Push it fully off, then on, one time.
- Press the reset button on GFCI outlets in nearby kitchens, baths, garages, and outdoor spots.
- Try a new bulb before you assume the fixture is bad.
- Don't open the panel cover. Parts inside stay live even with the main breaker off.
