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
Smart switches in a 1970s house with no neutrals anywhere. They ran neutrals to nine boxes and everything works from the app and from the wall.
Straightforward quote, no upsell, showed up when they said. Added four outlets and a dedicated circuit for the freezer in half a day.
Storm took out our weatherhead. Ascot got the temporary sorted the same afternoon and the permanent repair inspected within the week.
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.
Three common causes: too much load on one circuit, a short somewhere on the run, or a failing breaker. A breaker that trips instantly on reset usually means a short and should not be reset repeatedly. Call (888) 592-6466 and we will trace it.
Both. Residential work covers repairs, remodels, rewires and installations. Commercial work covers offices, retail, restaurants and warehouses in Palo Alto, and we schedule it outside your trading hours where we can.
