Electrical Diagnostic — Waived With Repair
Tripping breakers, dead outlets, flickering lights and burning smells — diagnosed by a licensed electrician for $49, waived when we do the repair.
Almost every electrical fault shows up somewhere other than where it lives. A dead outlet in the dining room is often a failed connection in a bedroom outlet upstream. Lights that dim across half the house usually point at the panel or the service, not the fixtures. Swapping the part you can see is how a problem comes back three weeks later.
So we start with diagnosis. Our electrician traces the circuit, tests under load, checks terminations at the panel and at every device on the run, and identifies the actual failure point. Then you get a fixed price to fix it, and the $49 diagnostic comes off the bill when you go ahead.
Some faults are urgent. Burning smells, scorch marks, sparking, and outlets that are warm to the touch are all signs of arcing, which is how electrical fires start. If you notice any of those, switch off the breaker for that circuit and call us the same day.
The faults Seattle homeowners call us about most often.
We find out whether it is an overloaded circuit, a short, a ground fault, or a breaker that has simply worn out — and fix the cause.
Usually a failed back-stab connection or a tripped GFCI upstream. We trace the run and repair every loose termination on it.
Loose neutrals, failing connections and undersized services all cause flicker. We identify which one you have.
Signs of active arcing and a genuine fire risk. We isolate the circuit, find the damage, and replace what has failed.
When half the house goes dark but the utility supply is fine, the fault is normally at the panel, the service, or a main lug.
A tingle from an appliance or switch plate signals a grounding fault. This one is never worth waiting on.

These four symptoms indicate arcing or a grounding failure. Both are fire and shock hazards.
Insulation breaking down under heat. Switch the breaker off and call before the circuit is used again.
Browning around the slots or warmth on the faceplate means heat is being generated behind the wall.
A brief blue flash is normal on a large appliance. Yellow sparks, repeated sparking or popping is not.
A humming or buzzing breaker panel indicates a loose connection carrying current. Treat it as urgent.
It covers a licensed electrician coming to your home, tracing the affected circuit, testing it under load, and identifying the actual cause of the fault. You then receive a fixed-price quote for the repair. If you approve the repair, the $49 is credited back against the cost, so the diagnosis is effectively free.
A breaker that trips repeatedly is doing its job — it is reporting a real problem. The three common causes are an overloaded circuit with too many devices on it, a short circuit from damaged wiring or a faulty appliance, or a ground fault. There is also a fourth: breakers wear out and can start tripping below their rated load. Repeatedly resetting it without finding the cause is how circuits overheat.
Yes, and it is a common call. Unpermitted DIY and handyman electrical work frequently turns up during a repair or a home sale. We will assess what is there, tell you plainly what is unsafe versus what is merely untidy, and bring the work up to current code.
Yes. Homes wired between roughly 1965 and 1973 often have aluminum branch circuits, which expand and contract at connections and eventually work loose. We repair these using approved connectors rated for aluminum-to-copper transitions. Where the wiring is failing throughout, a rewire is usually the more economical fix.
