Electrical Troubleshooting for Franklin homes and businesses
Metro Detroit homes work their electrical systems hard, and more so every year as EV chargers, central air and home offices are added. In Franklin and across Oakland County, we check the capacity of the panel and service before we begin electrical troubleshooting, so that nothing new is hung on a system that is already full.
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 Franklin 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 Franklin
Why do my lights flicker in Franklin?
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.
