We measure the load and check for faults and loose terminations to find out why the breaker is doing its job.

Finding the Fault Behind the Symptom
Electrical problems rarely announce their cause. A breaker that trips might be an overloaded circuit, a worn appliance or a loose connection three rooms away. A dead outlet might be a tripped ground-fault device on another wall.
Electrician Hunts Point troubleshoots methodically. We test under load, open the boxes that matter and follow the circuit until we find what is actually wrong. Then we tell you what we found, what it costs to fix and whether anything else in the house is likely to cause the same problem.
What Troubleshooting Covers
The faults we trace most often, and how we handle them.
Dead outlets and switches
We trace the circuit back through each box to the open connection or the tripped protective device.
Flickering and dimming lights
We check for loose neutrals, failing dimmers and voltage drop, from the fixture back to the panel.
Warm or discoloured devices
Overheating receptacles and switches are replaced and the connection behind them repaired.
Ground-fault nuisance trips
We isolate the appliance or wiring fault causing repeated trips on protected circuits.
Partial power loss
Half the house dark usually points to a service or panel issue; we find it and coordinate with the utility if needed.
Buzzing panels and breakers
We inspect for loose lugs, failing breakers and overheating, and replace parts as needed.
Written findings
You get a short summary of what failed and the price to fix it before any repair work starts.
How a Repair Visit Works
Tell us the symptom
When does it happen and what was running at the time? These details often point us straight to the fault.
Test and trace
On site we test the circuit under load and follow it until we find the cause. Most faults are located within the first hour or two.
Fix and confirm
With your approval of the price we make the repair, then test again under the same conditions that caused the problem.
