Electrical Repairs — Fast, Safe, and Done Right

When something isn’t working, you don’t need guesswork—you need it fixed correctly.

From small issues to more complex problems, electrical repairs should be handled safely and thoroughly the first time.

At Andrew Ells-O’Brien — Journeyman Electrician, I diagnose the issue, explain what’s going on, and make clean, reliable repairs you can trust.

Need an Electrical Repair? If something isn’t working right, I can help.

  • If something feels off, it usually is. Here are some of the most common issues I handle:

    • Power loss in part of the home

    • Breakers that trip repeatedly

    • Flickering or dimming lights

    • Dead outlets or switches

    • Burning smells or warm devices

    • Buzzing sounds from panels or fixtures

    • Intermittent electrical issues

    Electrical problems don’t fix themselves—and some can get worse over time.

  • The most important part of any repair is finding the actual cause.

    I don’t just swap parts and hope for the best—I track down the source of the issue so it’s fixed properly.

    This can include:

    • Testing circuits and connections

    • Identifying overloaded or failing components

    • Finding loose or damaged wiring

    • Diagnosing improper or unsafe past work

    💡 Goal: Fix the problem—not just the symptom.

  • Wiring Repairs

    • Damaged or loose wiring

    • Old or deteriorated insulation

    • Unsafe or non-code wiring

    Device Repairs

    • Faulty GFCI or AFCI devices

    • Panel troubleshooting

    Safety Corrections

    • Fixing improper installations

    • Bringing critical areas up to code

    • Eliminating potential hazards

  • Some issues should be addressed sooner rather than later:

    • Burning smell near outlets or panel

    • Warm or discolored outlets/switches

    • Frequent breaker trips

    • Lights dimming when appliances run

    If something doesn’t seem right, it’s worth getting it checked.

    • Thorough diagnosis before repair

    • Clean, professional workmanship

    • Clear explanation of the issue

    • No unnecessary upselling

    • Repairs done to current code standards

    1. Evaluation of the issue

    2. Clear explanation of what’s causing it

    3. Upfront pricing for the repair

    4. Safe, professional fix

    5. Testing to confirm everything is working properly

    You’ll know exactly what was fixed—and why.

    • “Part of my house lost power”

    • “This outlet suddenly stopped working”

    • “My breaker keeps tripping”

    • “Lights flicker when I turn something on”

    • “Something smells like it’s burning”

    If that sounds familiar, it’s time to take a look.

  • Small electrical issues can turn into bigger problems if ignored.

    A proper repair now can prevent larger, more expensive issues later—and more importantly, keep your home safe.
