What We Fix

Repair Services We Provide

Outlet & Switch Repairs

Dead outlets, loose connections, sparking switches, GFCI failures — diagnosed and fixed fast. We test every outlet to ensure safe, reliable power.

Breaker & Panel Issues

Breakers that trip repeatedly, won't reset, or feel warm to the touch are a safety hazard. We identify the root cause and make the right repair.

Flickering & Dimming Lights

Flickering lights often signal loose wiring, overloaded circuits, or failing fixtures. We trace the issue to the source and resolve it permanently.

Power Loss & Outages

Partial or complete power loss in your home or business needs immediate attention. We diagnose and restore power safely and quickly.

Burning Smell / Electrical Odors

A burning smell from outlets or panels is a serious warning sign. We locate the source, assess the damage, and make it safe before it becomes a fire hazard.

Electrical Troubleshooting

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you respond to an electrical repair?

We prioritize repair calls and typically respond within 24–48 hours. For urgent safety issues like burning smells or total power loss, we make every effort to respond same-day.

Do you charge for the diagnostic visit?

We provide transparent pricing upfront. Contact us to discuss your specific situation and we'll walk you through what to expect before any work begins.

Can you fix aluminum wiring issues?

Yes. Aluminum wiring is common in older Twin Cities homes and requires specific repair methods. We use approved aluminum-to-copper connections (pigtailing) to make your system safe.

Is it safe to use the outlet until you arrive?

If an outlet is sparking, discolored, or smells burnt — stop using it immediately and turn off the breaker for that circuit. Safety first. We'll get there as soon as possible.
