Electrical Troubleshooting and Repairs
Something not working? We find out why
Electrical problems are frustrating mostly because the cause is hidden. An outlet that stopped working might be a tripped GFCI two rooms away. A breaker that keeps tripping might be an overloaded circuit, a failing appliance, or a fault that needs attention. Guessing wastes time — troubleshooting finds the actual cause.
Saber Electric diagnoses and repairs electrical problems in homes across the Mount Horeb and Madison area. Tell us what you are seeing when you call, and we will come prepared to track it down.
Problems we commonly track down
Breakers that trip repeatedly or will not reset
Dead outlets, or a string of outlets that all stopped at once
GFCI outlets that keep tripping in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and basements
Flickering or dimming lights
Switches, fixtures, or ceiling fans that stopped working
Outlets or switches that feel warm, buzz, or smell like burning
Warm, buzzing, or burning-smelling devices should not wait. If you are seeing any of those, call and describe it rather than continuing to use the outlet or switch.
How a troubleshooting visit works
You describe the problem — when it started, what was running, and what you have already tried.
We test and trace the circuit to find the cause, not just the symptom.
We explain what we found and what the repair involves before the work is done, so there are no surprises.
Many problems turn out to be smaller than they looked — a tripped GFCI behind stored items, a worn-out receptacle, a circuit that needs its load spread out. Whatever it is, you will know what caused it and what was done to fix it.
