What Is Electrical Troubleshooting?

Electrical troubleshooting is the process of identifying faults or failures within your home’s electrical system. These can include anything from faulty outlets or light switches to overloaded circuits or hidden wiring problems. Unlike straightforward installations, troubleshooting requires deep diagnostic expertise and a methodical, code-compliant approach.

At Site Electric Services, our licensed electricians are trained to go beyond surface-level symptoms to find and fix the underlying cause—ensuring the problem doesn’t come back and that your home remains safe and up to code.

Signs You Need Professional Troubleshooting

  • Flickering or dimming lights
  • Breakers that trip frequently or without cause
  • Outlets or switches that are warm, buzzing, or dead
  • Partial power outages in parts of the home
  • Unusual smells (like burning or melting plastic)
  • GFCI or AFCI outlets that won’t reset
  • Inconsistent performance of lighting or appliances
  • Electrical issues following recent renovations or water damage
