Intermittent Fault Finding
Problems that appear only sometimes get isolated with load testing and monitoring rather than guesswork.
Repairs & Troubleshooting
Electrical repair and troubleshooting in Salt Lake City
The faults other electricians handed back: intermittent trips, flickers that move around the house, hot devices and circuits that die at random. We test to prove the cause before anything gets replaced.
Licensed & insured
Utah licensed electrical contractor with Master-level scoping on every project.
Diagnostics first

Clear arrival windows Monday through Friday, 8 to 5, and a crew that cleans up.
Permits handled
Permits, utility coordination and inspection sign-off taken care of for you.
Repairs & Troubleshooting

Dead Outlets & Switches
Open neutrals, failed backstab connections, tripped devices upstream and broken splices in buried boxes.
Flickering & Dimming Lights
Loose service neutrals, shared circuits, failing dimmers and utility-side issues told apart with measurement.
Burning Smells & Hot Devices
Scorched receptacles, overheating connections and panel hot spots found with thermal imaging and corrected.
Tripping Breakers
Ground faults, arc faults, overloads and damaged conductors traced to the specific point of failure.
Safety Inspections
Whole-home evaluations for buyers, sellers and homeowners, with a written list of what matters and what can wait.
How we troubleshoot
Tell us everything that has already been replaced. It sounds minor, and it is often what narrows the search from hours to minutes.
- 1History and reproduction
We get the timeline, what changed, what has already been swapped, and then reproduce the fault if we can.
- 2Measure and isolate
Voltage and current under load, insulation resistance, thermal scanning and circuit tracing to find the failure point.
- 3Explain and price
You hear what is wrong, what caused it and what the repair costs before we do the work.
- 4Repair and verify
The fault is corrected, the circuit is retested under load, and we document what was found.

Repairs & Troubleshooting FAQs
Repair and troubleshooting questions
Do you charge a diagnostic fee?+
Yes. Troubleshooting is skilled work with test equipment behind it, so it is billed as its own line item. You approve it up front, and you get the findings whether or not you have us do the repair.
Another electrician already replaced parts and it still does not work. Will you take the job?+
That is the work we are known for. Bring us the list of what has been replaced already; it eliminates possibilities and speeds up the search rather than complicating it.
Half my house lost power but no breaker tripped. What is that?+
That pattern usually points to a lost leg: a failed service conductor, a burned lug in the panel or meter, or an open neutral. It can damage electronics and it should be looked at promptly rather than reset repeatedly.
What should I do about a burning smell from an outlet?+
Turn that circuit off at the breaker and leave it off, then call us during business hours. A scorched receptacle or warm cover plate means a connection is overheating, so it should be one of the first things we look at when we get out.
How fast can you get out for a repair?+
Most repair calls in Salt Lake and Davis County are scheduled within a few business days, and we prioritize hazards like burning smells, hot panels and lost power. Our hours are Monday through Friday, 8 to 5.
