Several signs may indicate electrical problems. These include frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights, non-functioning outlets, burning odors from outlets or appliances, discolored outlets or switch plates, buzzing sounds from your electrical panel, and minor shocks from appliances. If you observe any of these signs, it's essential to contact a qualified electrician promptly.Why is it important to hire a licensed electrician?
Engaging a licensed electrician ensures that the work is performed safely, correctly, and in compliance with current electrical codes. Unlicensed work can pose safety risks, invalidate insurance policies, and lead to more expensive problems in the future. Licensed electricians possess the necessary training, knowledge, and experience to handle all electrical tasks efficiently and effectively.Do you handle commercial electrical work?

Our expertise includes new construction wiring, tenant improvements, lighting maintenance, emergency lighting, data cabling, and various other commercial electrical needs. We understand the unique requirements of businesses and strive to minimize disruption to your operations.What safety precautions do you take during a job?
Safety is our highest priority. Our electricians are extensively trained in electrical safety protocols and adhere to all OSHA guidelines. We utilize appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), ensure circuits are de-energized before work begins, and conduct thorough safety checks throughout every project. The safety of our clients and their property is of utmost importance to us.How often should I have my electrical system inspected?
For residential properties, we recommend electrical system inspections every 5-10 years. More frequent inspections may be necessary for older homes, recently purchased properties, or those that have undergone major electrical work. For commercial properties, annual inspections are often advised to ensure compliance and prevent operational downtime.What should I do if my power goes out?
In the event of a power outage, first inspect your circuit breaker panel to determine if a breaker has tripped. If resetting it doesn't restore power, check if your neighbors are also experiencing an outage, which could indicate a wider utility issue. If the outage is isolated to your property and not due to a tripped breaker, it's advisable to contact a qualified electrician to diagnose and resolve the problem.
