Electrical Problems Diagnosed and Fixed in Skandia

Electrical Troubleshooting for Skandia homes and businesses

Electrical systems in the Upper Peninsula work harder than most. In Skandia and across Marquette County, long heating seasons mean furnaces, boilers, heat tape and block heaters run for months, and storms off the Great Lakes can take power down without warning. When we carry out electrical troubleshooting here, we size and protect every circuit with those demands in mind.

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