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 Clayton home, for example, often trace to a loose neutral at the panel, meter or utility connection, which is a hazard that needs prompt repair.

Questions about electrical troubleshooting in Clayton

Why do my lights flicker in Clayton?

Causes range from a loose bulb to a failing neutral connection. Flicker in several rooms, or lights that get brighter as others dim, should be checked right away.

Why did several outlets stop working at once?

Often a tripped GFCI or a failed connection at one outlet has cut power to those downstream.

Can you find a problem that only happens sometimes?

Yes. Intermittent faults take longer, but systematic testing finds them.

Do you charge if you cannot find the problem?

We explain our diagnostic rate before starting and keep you informed as testing progresses.
