Electrical troubleshooting in Orleans: local conditions matter

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

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.
