How it goes
Tell us what is happening and where. Emergencies get triaged on the phone — sometimes the first thing we do is tell you which breaker to shut off before we arrive.
We open the panel, test the affected circuits and tell you what is actually wrong, including the parts you would rather not hear.
One number for the work described, before it starts. Options where there are options — the repair now versus the replacement that stops it recurring.
We do the job, label the circuits, clean the space and walk you through what changed and what to watch for.
Reviews
Called at 11pm with half the house dead and a smell coming off the panel. Someone answered, and a van was outside by half midnight. Found a burnt neutral, isolated it that night and came back Tuesday to do it properly.
Two EVs, one 100 amp panel, and three other companies who said it could not be done. Ascot did the load calc, upgraded the service and put in load-sharing chargers. Both cars charge overnight now.
Our 1948 place still had knob and tube in the attic. They rewired it in stages so we never lost power to the bedrooms, and patched better than the last contractor we hired.
Questions
Most often a tripped GFCI upstream that also feeds the dead outlets, or a failed connection in one device that opens the rest of the run. Check every GFCI in the house first, then call (888) 592-6466.
A brief dip is normal on motor start. Persistent flickering points to a loose neutral, an undersized circuit or a service-level problem — and a loose neutral is worth taking seriously rather than living with.
There is a diagnostic visit charge for troubleshooting, quoted up front, and it goes toward the repair if you have us do the work. Tracing an intermittent fault properly takes time and we would rather do it than guess.
No. A breaker that trips immediately on reset is telling you there is a fault on the circuit. Leave it off and get it traced.
It is not automatically dangerous, but it is a limit. Fuse boxes cap what you can add, insurers increasingly ask about them, and replacements get harder to source. Most Brentwood homeowners upgrade when they add an EV charger, an AC unit or a kitchen.
Yes, including knob and tube and aluminium branch-circuit replacement. We rewire Brentwood homes in stages so you keep power in the rooms you are living in, and we work with your schedule rather than shutting the house down for a week.
