Electrical Troubleshooting in Curran, MI

Electrical Troubleshooting for Curran homes and businesses

Curran is part of Alcona County in Northern Michigan, an area of year-round homes, seasonal cottages and cabins tucked into the woods and along the lakes. Many of these places were built for summer use and later converted, so the wiring is often lighter than a full-time home needs. That is the background to most of the electrical troubleshooting we do in Curran.

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