Troubleshooting & Repairs FAQs

Answers to common questions about finding electrical problems, making safe repairs, and knowing when it’s time to call us at Light 'Em Up Electric.

  • What kinds of electrical problems do you troubleshoot and repair?

    We handle a wide range of electrical issues in homes and small businesses. That includes outlets that stopped working, breakers that keep tripping, flickering lights, dead switches, partial power loss, wiring problems, burning smells, loose connections, and electrical issues after a remodel or DIY work. We focus on finding the real cause of the problem, not just patching the symptom, so you get a safe and lasting repair.

  • How do you figure out what’s causing the problem?

    We start with a careful electrical diagnosis. We test the circuit, inspect devices and connections, and trace the issue back to the source. In many cases, the visible symptom is not the actual problem. A breaker trip, for example, could point to an overloaded circuit, a faulty device, damaged wiring, or a bad connection. With 18 years of hands-on experience, we know how to troubleshoot efficiently and explain what we find in plain language before we do the repair.

  • Is it dangerous to wait on electrical repairs?

    It can be. Some electrical problems are more than an inconvenience—they can become a safety issue fast. If you notice sparking, buzzing, a burning smell, warm outlets or switches, or repeated breaker trips, it’s best not to ignore it. Those signs can point to loose wiring, overloaded circuits, or failing components. We recommend shutting off power to the affected area if it is safe to do so and contacting us right away to inspect it.

  • Do you provide fair pricing for troubleshooting and repair work?

    Yes. Because we’re a small company, we keep our pricing competitive without cutting corners on service. We believe in doing the job right the first time and treating customers honestly. If you’ve already gotten estimates, let us take a look and see if we can beat them. We’ll talk through the issue, explain the repair clearly, and help you understand your options before moving forward.

  • Can you fix electrical work that was done wrong before?

    Absolutely. We’re often called in to correct wiring issues from past repairs, unfinished projects, or poor installation work. Whether it’s a problem behind a switch, panel issues, basement wiring, outlet wiring, or circuits that were never set up properly, we can inspect it, identify what’s wrong, and repair it safely. Our goal is to leave you with an electrical system you can trust.

  • Why should I call Light 'Em Up Electric for troubleshooting and repairs?

    When you call us, you’re getting a local electrician with real field experience and a strong work ethic. Marcos Geroli has worked in the electrical field for 18 years and learned early on by working alongside his grandfather. That background shaped how we run our company today: work hard, do it right, be honest, and treat people fairly. We’re proud to offer dependable electrical troubleshooting and repair service at a price that often beats the big companies. If something electrical isn’t working the way it should, contact us today and let’s get it fixed the right way.

Marcos came and fixed an electrical problem we were having with one of our dimming lights. He noticed that the original electrical work was done incorrectly and gave us options and noted the pricing differences for us. It was super nice that Marcos had working alternatives already known and how much they would cost. Marcos is the best!
