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
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.
Ceiling fans in four bedrooms, none of which had fan-rated boxes. They braced every one properly instead of just hanging them off the old box.
Questions
Kitchens, bathrooms, garages, unfinished basements, crawlspaces, laundry areas, outdoors and anywhere near a sink. If your Arcata home predates the requirement, adding them is quick and inexpensive.
Yes. Most rooms can take an extra outlet with no visible damage, fed from a nearby circuit or a new dedicated one where the load requires it.
A warm or discoloured receptacle means a poor connection making heat, usually a back-stabbed wire or a worn contact. Stop using it and call (888) 592-6466 — this is one of the more common starting points for electrical fires.
It is a circuit serving one appliance only. Microwaves, dishwashers, window AC units, freezers, space heaters and workshop tools all benefit, and some are required to have one.
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 Arcata 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 Arcata 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.
