Electrical Troubleshooting in New Haven, MI

Electrical Troubleshooting for New Haven homes and businesses

New Haven is in Macomb County in Southeast Michigan, where a large share of the housing was built between the 1920s and the 1970s. That means plenty of 60 and 100 amp services, fuse boxes, ungrounded outlets and, in some neighborhoods, knob and tube or aluminum wiring. When we take on electrical troubleshooting in New Haven, the first step is often bringing those older systems up to date.

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