Common symptoms

Sound familiar? We’ve fixed it before.

Flickering or dimming lights

Often a loose neutral or overloaded circuit — worth diagnosing before it cooks a fixture.

Dead outlets or switches

Half the room stops working: tripped GFCI, failed device, or a broken run.

Breaker keeps tripping

Breakers trip for a reason. We find the reason instead of just resetting it.

Burning smell or buzzing

Stop using the circuit and call now — this is the one you don’t sit on.

Hot outlets or switch plates

Heat means resistance where it shouldn’t be. Quick to check, dangerous to ignore.

Half the house went dark

Lost leg from the utility or a failing main — we’ll help you rule out the scary options.

GFCI won’t reset

Could be moisture, a downstream fault, or the device itself. Methodical beats guessing.

It only happens sometimes

Intermittent faults are our favorite puzzle — and the ones most worth solving early.

Safety first: burning smells, sparking, scorched outlets, or a panel that’s hot to the touch — stop using the circuit and call (720) 555-0148 now. We’ll tell you what to switch off while help is on the way.
Our approach

Diagnosis is the job — the fix is the easy part

01

Triage by phone or text

A photo and two questions often tell us whether you need us today or next week — before you pay for anything.

02

Methodical fault-finding

We trace the circuit, test properly, and show you what we found — not just where we stopped looking.

03

Fix it right, prove it

Quality parts, torqued connections, and a test in front of you. Plus what caused it, so it doesn’t come back.

Good to know

Repair questions, answered straight

Do you charge to come out and look?

Pricing structure (trip fees, diagnostic rates, and how they credit toward repairs) is set with the client and published transparently on this page before launch — no surprises is the whole point.

Can I just keep resetting the breaker?

A breaker that trips repeatedly is protecting you from something — overload, short, or a failing device. Resetting it over and over ignores the warning. Worth a proper look.

Is a dead outlet ever an emergency?

Usually no — unless it comes with heat, smell, or scorch marks. Text us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly which bucket you’re in.

Do you handle aluminum wiring and older Denver homes?

Older housing stock is a big part of Front Range work — mid-century panels, cloth wiring, and previous owners’ creative fixes included. We diagnose before we judge.

Stop guessing. Start with a text.
