The fault is often not where the symptom shows. A dead outlet can come from a loose connection in another box on the same circuit. I follow the circuit until I find the real cause, so the repair lasts.
What I look at
- Outlets and switches that stopped working
- Breakers that trip or will not reset
- Lights that flicker or dim
- Loss of power in part of the house
What to send for a quote
Tell me what is happening and since when, and send a photo of the electrical panel with the door open if you can. If you smell burning or see scorch marks, switch that breaker off and leave it off until it has been checked.
I cover Holden
My base is Malden and I cover every town within 50 miles. Holden (Worcester County) sits 41.3 miles west of Malden.
Most jobs start with a message: tell me what is going on, add a couple of photos, and I come back with a clear estimate. I am available Monday to Saturday, 7 AM to 7 PM.
