Expert Electrical Diagnostics
Electrical problems are frustrating — and sometimes dangerous. Flickering lights, dead outlets, burning smells, and constantly tripping breakers are all signs that something needs attention. The challenge is figuring out what.
With 20+ years of hands-on experience, Drew has seen every electrical issue a Jersey Shore home can throw at him. He doesn’t guess — he diagnoses methodically and fixes the root cause, not just the symptom.
Common Issues We Diagnose & Fix
- Flickering or dimming lights — often caused by loose connections, overloaded circuits, or utility-side problems
- Tripping breakers — may indicate overloaded circuits, short circuits, or ground faults
- Dead outlets — could be a tripped GFCI, loose wire, or failed outlet
- Burning smells — a serious warning sign that requires immediate attention
- Buzzing switches or outlets — loose wiring or failing components
- Partial power outages — often a lost leg from the utility or a main breaker issue
- Aluminum wiring hot spots — connections that overheat due to aluminum’s thermal expansion
- Old or damaged wiring — deteriorating insulation in older homes
