Electrical Troubleshooting FAQ
Common questions about our diagnostic and repair services.
We charge a diagnostic fee that covers the first hour of troubleshooting. This fee is often applied toward repairs if you proceed with our recommended solution. Complex issues requiring extensive testing may take longer. We always provide a clear quote before proceeding with any repairs.
Repeated tripping usually indicates circuit overload (too many devices), a short circuit (wiring fault), or ground fault (moisture or insulation breakdown). Sometimes it's simply a failing breaker. Our diagnostics will identify the exact cause so we can provide the right solution.
Yes, we're experienced with aluminum wiring found in many Guelph homes built in the 1960s-70s. We can diagnose overheating connections, install approved aluminum-to-copper connectors (such as AlumiConn or COPALUM), and recommend whether full rewiring is necessary.
Flickering can result from loose bulbs or connections, incompatible dimmer switches, voltage fluctuations, overloaded circuits, or a loose neutral connection at the panel. Some causes are minor; others indicate serious issues. We'll test to determine the root cause.
Yes, we offer same-day troubleshooting appointments for urgent issues like power outages, burning smells, or safety concerns. For non-emergency diagnostics, we can usually schedule within 1-2 business days.
This typically indicates a lost phase from your utility service, a tripped main breaker, or a problem with one leg of your 240V service. It can also be a utility issue. We'll test at your panel to determine if the problem is on your side or requires a call to Guelph Hydro.
Yes, we use circuit tracers, thermal imaging, and systematic testing to locate faults in concealed wiring without unnecessary wall openings. When access is needed, we work to minimize damage and can often access wiring through existing junction boxes or outlets.
A GFCI that won't reset may have detected a ground fault somewhere on the circuit, have no power supply, or be damaged internally. We'll test the GFCI itself and the entire circuit it protects to identify whether repair or replacement is needed.
