Emergency Circuit Breaker Repair
A breaker that trips once is normal. One that trips every time you plug something in is not. We test the load, check for a short circuit, and repair or replace the breaker with a matching Square D or Eaton unit.
Explore →
Circuit Breaker Replacement
Worn breakers fail silently and stop protecting your wiring. We swap them for UL-listed replacements, verify the amp rating matches the wire, and label the panel so the next person knows what feeds what.
Explore →
Emergency Electrical Panel Repair
Buzzing, rust, scorch marks, or a breaker that will not reset. We open the panel, inspect bus bars and lugs, and repair what is safe to repair. Anything water damaged or arcing gets replaced, not patched.
Explore →
Electrical Panel Replacement
When a panel is beyond repair, we replace it with a modern load center sized for your home. New breakers, new grounding, clean labeling. We coordinate the utility disconnect so your power is off for hours, not days.
Explore →
Electrical Panel Upgrade
Adding a heat pump, EV charger, or shop? A 100-amp panel will not carry it. We upgrade to 200 amps, run the feeder, and leave you room for the next addition without another panel swap.
Explore →
Emergency Power Loss Troubleshooting
Half the house dead is not a full outage. We trace the lost leg from the meter to the panel to the circuit, find where it broke, and restore it. Often it is a failed main lug or a loose neutral.
Explore →
Partial Power Loss Repair
Lights dim when the fridge kicks on, or one side of the panel reads dead. That points to a neutral or phase problem. We test with a voltage tester and clamp meter, then repair the connection.
Explore →
Emergency Electrical Wiring Repair
Rodent chewed Romex, storm-damaged THHN, or a wire nicked during a remodel. We cut out the damaged section, splice it in a junction box with proper wire nuts, and test the run end to end.
Explore →
Damaged Electrical Wire Repair
Overheated wire loses its insulation and becomes a fire risk. We identify the damaged run, replace it with the correct gauge, and check the breaker size so it actually protects the new wire.
Explore →
Emergency Outlet Repair
An outlet that will not hold a plug, feels hot, or shows scorch marks needs attention now. We kill the circuit, inspect the box, and replace the receptacle with a Leviton or GE device rated for the load.
Explore →
Emergency Switch Repair
A switch that sparks, sticks, or buzzes is failing. We replace it, check the wiring behind it, and confirm the box is grounded. Three-way and dimmer switches get the same treatment.
Explore →
Electrical Short Circuit Repair
A short trips the breaker instantly and can start a fire inside the wall. We isolate the circuit, use an insulation resistance tester to find the fault, and repair the damaged section before restoring power.
Explore →
Electrical Arcing Inspection
Arcing sounds like sizzling or popping behind a wall or device. We inspect the circuit, look for burnt insulation and loose connections, and correct the fault. Arcing is the leading cause of electrical fires.
Explore →
Electrical Burning Smell Inspection
A burning smell from an outlet or panel means something is overheating right now. We cut power to the circuit, open the device or panel, find the source, and repair or replace it before we leave.
Explore →
Sparking Outlet Repair
A spark when you plug in is normal. A spark from the outlet itself is not. We inspect the receptacle, check for a loose neutral or damaged contacts, and replace the device with a UL-listed unit.
Explore →
Overheating Outlet Repair
Warm outlets mean resistance, and resistance means heat. We check the load, inspect the wiring and backstab connections, and replace the outlet with a screw-terminal device that will not loosen over time.
Explore →
Emergency Storm Damage Electrical Repair
After a Wayne County storm, we handle downed service drops, water in panels, and tripped mains. We make the system safe first, then repair the damage and get your power restored.
Explore →
Water Damaged Electrical Panel Inspection
Water and electricity do not mix. If your panel got wet, we kill the main, inspect bus bars and breakers for corrosion, and replace anything compromised. Do not reset a wet panel yourself.
Explore →
Emergency Generator Repair
A generator that will not start during an outage is useless. We troubleshoot fuel, ignition, and transfer components, repair what failed, and load-test the unit so it carries your house next time.
Explore →
Generator Transfer Switch Repair
If the transfer switch does not engage, your generator cannot feed the panel. We inspect the contacts, test the mechanism, and repair or replace the switch so the changeover happens automatically.
Explore →
Emergency Electrical Safety Inspection
After a fault, storm, or flood, we inspect the panel, grounding, and affected circuits. You get a clear report on what is safe, what needs repair, and what can wait. No guesswork.
Explore →
Emergency Lighting Repair
Stairwell, exit, and security lights that fail are a safety issue. We trace the circuit, replace failed fixtures and ballasts, and confirm emergency backups actually come on when power drops.
Explore →
Emergency Electrical Service Restoration
Full outage, no obvious cause. We check the meter, main breaker, and service entrance, coordinate with the utility if the problem is on their side, and restore power once the fault is cleared.
Explore →

Ask a pro →That circuit is overloaded or the breaker is weak. We measure the load, check the wire gauge, and either move the appliance to a dedicated circuit or replace the breaker with a correctly rated Square D or Eaton unit.
Something behind that device is overheating right now. We cut the circuit, open the box, and inspect for burnt insulation, loose backstabs, and arcing. The device and any damaged wire get replaced before we restore power.
A lost leg or damaged service drop. We test at the meter and panel, find where the connection failed, and repair it. If the fault is on the utility side, we call them and stay until power is restored.
Usually a loose neutral or an undersized panel. We check the main lugs, neutral bar, and breaker connections with a clamp meter, then tighten or repair what is loose. Flickering that repeats needs a panel inspection.
“Our panel started buzzing around 9 p.m. and I could smell something hot. They picked up on the first ring, walked me through killing the main, and had a tech here in under an hour. Turned out to be a loose lug. Fixed it, tested everything, and showed me what to watch for.”
Marisol G.Homeowner, Berkeley
✓ Verified“Half our restaurant lost power during dinner service. They came out, found a failed breaker, and swapped it with a matching Eaton unit they had on the truck. We were back up before the rush. That call saved us a night of revenue.”
Devon P.Restaurant Owner, Downtown Goldsboro
