Electrical Repair FAQ

Why does my breaker keep tripping?

Common causes are an overloaded circuit, a short, a ground fault, or a worn-out breaker. A tripping breaker is doing its job, so the cause needs to be found, not ignored.

Is a warm outlet dangerous?

It can be. Heat at an outlet often means a loose or failing connection. Stop using it and have it checked.

What should I do in an electrical emergency?

If you smell burning, see sparks, or have exposed wiring, turn off the affected breaker or main if it is safe to do so, and call us at (407) 714-1341. If there is fire or smoke, call 911 first.

Is aluminum wiring safe?

Aluminum wiring can be made safer with approved repair methods at each connection. We can inspect your home and recommend the right approach.
