The Electrical Troubleshooting Process

When you call Mr. Electric, we send out a local electrician as quickly as possible to your location. Based on how you described your issue to us, we may ask you to turn off the house's electricity at the main breaker or wait outside your home. 

Once your electrician arrives, they will go immediately to work to troubleshoot the issue. This could take a few minutes or a few hours, depending on what's wrong. As soon as they have a diagnosis, they'll let you know what's wrong, how much it will cost to fix it, and how long it will take. 

After Electrical Troubleshooting  

Once you've approved the work order, your electrician will begin performing the services required to make your electrical system operate properly again. That could mean replacing an outlet, some wiring, a circuit switch, or giving your entire electrical panel a tune-up.  

The goal is to make sure all problems we find during electrical troubleshooting are fixed as quickly as possible and that we leave your home safer than we found it. 

  Electrical Troubleshooting Tips 

Here are a few common electrical issues you may be able to diagnose on your own. Whether or not you can fix them will depend on how serious they are. 

  • Loss of home power in one or more rooms: Check the electrical panel for flipped circuit breakers. If a circuit breaker flips immediately after you reset it, don't touch it again. Call Mr. Electric instead. 
  • Light or fan not coming on: Press the GFCI reset button next to the wall switch. Check the bulb and replace it if necessary. Check the circuit breaker box. Try different settings. Replace the batteries in your fan remote if applicable.  
  • Outlet not working: Press the GFCI reset button if available. Check the circuit breaker box. Try to plug in something else. Try another outlet, then one in another room.   

There's no shame in needing some help with electrical troubleshooting. If you feel out of your depth, you probably are, and calling for help is the safest thing you can do.
