Electrical Problems Diagnosed and Fixed in Alger

Electrical Troubleshooting for Alger homes and businesses

Up north, power can be out for a while when a storm rolls through. In Alger and the rest of Ogemaw County, wells, septic pumps and furnaces all depend on electricity, so reliability matters more than it does in town. We keep that in mind whenever we take on electrical troubleshooting, and we are happy to talk about backup power while we are there.

How we track down an electrical fault

We start by listening. When it happens, what was running and which rooms are affected tell us a great deal. Then we test: voltage under load, voltage drop, insulation resistance and, where useful, thermal imaging of the panel and devices. Circuits are divided and tested section by section until the fault is isolated. Flickering lights across a whole Alger home, for example, often trace to a loose neutral at the panel, meter or utility connection, which is a hazard that needs prompt repair.
