Electrical troubleshooting and diagnostics
A circuit that keeps tripping, lights that flicker, or an outlet that quit are all symptoms of something specific. It is usually a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, a failing breaker, or a fault buried in the wall. We charge a flat fee to find it, trace it to the real cause, and give you a fixed price to repair. Same-week appointments, and often within two hours if it is urgent.

Signs you need this
A breaker that trips again the moment you reset it
That is a hard short or a ground fault on the circuit. It is not a bad breaker until proven otherwise, and forcing it back on is not safe.
Lights that dim when the AC or microwave starts
Usually a loose neutral, an undersized circuit, or a connection failing at the panel. It gets worse over time, not better.
An outlet is dead but nothing tripped
Often a failed backstab connection upstream, or a tripped GFCI in another room. Easy to find, cheap to fix, and it will not fix itself.
Switches or outlets that are warm or crackle
Heat means resistance, and resistance in a connection means it is on its way to arcing.

“We did not have power coming through a circuit in our garage. When I called on a Friday morning, I fully expected we would have to wait until after the weekend for an electrician to come out. But Jud was able to come diagnose the issue within just a few hours! I was very impressed, and so happy that he was also able to fix the problem very quickly. Jud was very professional, explained everything so well, and is very trustworthy.”Read the full review

“Judd was great. I called for an estimate, they came right out, game a good price, i hired them, they showed up right away, did a great job, took care of my gear and my dogs, and pleasure to work with. Allsafe installed a new 20-amp line for my stereo and installed a whole house surge protector and of course had to fix some issues with my breaker panel because my house was built recently by a homebuilder that took some short cuts.”Read the full review

“We originally called Allsafe to look at adding some new lighting to our dining room and fixing some lighting issues in our bathrooms. Judd from Allsafe informed us there were concerns about our electrical service panel but could do the repairs we asked. We put the project on hold due to some urgent medical issues. About 2 months later we had an outlet in the kitchen arc and burn out. Our electrical service panel breakers didn’t trip appropriately. We called Judd back out to assess the situation. He was very thorough in evaluating what was going on with our electrical system. He found multiple issues with our ancient service panel and improper grounding throughout the house. Judd and his team replaced our electrical service panel, multiple outlets, installed new bathroom light fixtures, and installed new recessed lighting in our dining area. They found and fixed a few other minor issues along the way at no additional cost. Working with Allsafe was awesome! All the work they did looks great and we’re very happy we chose them to upgrade our electrical system.”Read the full review

“Judson Cushing and the AllSafe Electric team continue to impress. Judson recently installed an outlet above my pool table along with a wall switch for a new pool table light. The placement was thoughtful, the install was clean, and the finished product looks like it was always meant to be there. Functionally perfect and aesthetically spot-on. This is at least the third project AllSafe Electirc has completed for me (which includes installing an auxiliary panel, running new circuits, and troubleshooting problems). As always, Judson and Shawn were very responsive, on time, did a fantastic job in short order. They clearly take pride in their work. It is hard to find contractors who combine technical skill with real customer focus, but AllSafe Electric does. I couldn’t be happier. Judson and Allsafe Electric have absolutely and repeatedly earned my business and recognition.”Read the full review

“Judson was very responsive following a contractor at my house, taking out the power in front room and exterior lights. Judson was able to come out within 1 day to troubleshoot and fix the breaker, allowing for proper lighting in time for Halloween! I really appreciated the 30minute call ahead and his ability to alleviate my concerns by explaining to me the root cause of the issue. I will definitely be using Allsafe again!”Read the full review

Common questions
Why not just replace the breaker?
A breaker that trips is usually doing its job, because something on the circuit is faulting. Swapping the breaker without finding the fault removes the safety device and leaves the hazard in place.
Can you tell me the cost over the phone?
We can tell you the diagnostic fee up front. Because repair costs depend on what we find, we cannot give you an accurate repair price until we have diagnosed the issue. Once we do, you will receive the price in writing and approve it before any repair work begins.
My lights flicker all over the house. Is that dangerous?
Whole-house flicker points at the main service connection or the panel itself, which is the more serious category. Get it looked at soon rather than waiting.
Do you fix it on the same visit?
Most of the time, yes. If a part has to be sourced we make the area safe, quote the return visit, and come back.
