There is no right answer to the question of “Can I do my own electrical work?” The answer depends on the electrical issue at hand. For example, changing a bulb or fixing a tripped breaker an easy fix for any homeowner. However, DIY electrical work can be very dangerous. If you’re unsure what your electrical problem is, we recommend calling an electrician to diagnose and repair your electrical issue. Otherwise, you risk personal injury, electrical fire, or even death.

There are several reasons your breakers could be tripping. Most of the time the breakers trip when the circuit you are using is drawing to much power. In most cases you can remedy the problem by not using so many things at once. Another issue we run in to a lot is AFCI breakers tripping randomly. In most cases we would come out and asses the issue to make sure you don’t have a serious problem.

A normal service call is $95. That gets our technician out there and pays for the first hour of work (troubleshooting, circuit tracing, etc.). For bigger jobs we usually come out and asses exactly what you need and we either get all of the information needed to type up a formal proposal and estimate or we can give a close guesstimate of pricing on site.
