Call 605-250-6993Common electrical problems we fix
Small electrical problems have a way of turning into bigger ones. A loose outlet or a flickering light can point to something that needs attention. These are the issues we see most often in Sioux Falls.
Dead outlets
Outlets that stopped working, sometimes a whole wall at once.
Warm or scorched switches
Switch plates that feel hot or look discolored need a closer look.
Flickering lights
Lights that flicker, dim, or buzz when other things turn on.
Breakers that trip
Breakers that keep shutting off a circuit you use every day.
Loose fixtures
Wobbly outlets, switches, and fixtures that no longer sit tight.
Burning smells
Any burning smell near electrical is urgent. Call us right away.
Outlets and switches
Outlets and switches take more wear than most parts of your electrical system. You use them every day, and over time they loosen, crack, or stop working. We replace worn outlets, fix ones that feel loose, and swap out switches that no longer click the way they should.
If you have older two prong outlets, we can update them to grounded three prong outlets that are safer for modern devices. We also install GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and other spots near water, where they help protect you from shocks. If an outlet feels warm or shows scorch marks, stop using it and give us a call, since that points to a wiring problem behind the wall.
Flickering or dimming lights
Flickering or dimming lights are easy to ignore, but they are worth checking. Sometimes the fix is simple, like a loose bulb or a worn switch. Other times the lights dim because a circuit is overloaded or a connection has come loose.
If your lights dim every time a large appliance kicks on, your home may be asking for more power than the panel can give. That can be a sign it is time for apanel upgrade. We find the real cause instead of guessing, so the problem actually goes away.
Tripping breakers
A breaker that trips now and then is doing its job. A breaker that trips over and over is telling you something. It may be a single circuit with too much on it, a faulty breaker, or a deeper wiring issue. We test the circuit, find what is causing the trips, and fix it.
When the problem is urgent, like sparking or a burning smell, treat it as anelectrical emergency and call right away. We would rather hear from you early than have a small problem grow into a dangerous one.
When a repair becomes a bigger job
Most repairs are quick. Now and then, we open up an outlet or fixture and find a problem that runs deeper, like brittle insulation or wiring that was not done well. When that happens, a simple repair can turn into a larger job.
We are honest with you about what we find and never push work you do not need. If the wiring in part of your home is worn or unsafe, we can talk throughrewiringthat section. Our goal is to leave your home safer than we found it.
