Troubleshooting and Repairs
We find and fix flickering lights, tripping breakers, dead outlets and faulty wiring in Springboro homes and businesses.
Most electrical problems start small. A light flickers when the microwave kicks on. A breaker trips every time someone runs the space heater. An outlet goes dead and never comes back. Some of these are nuisances. Others, like a warm switch plate, a burning smell or sparks at a plug, mean something is overheating and needs attention now. We troubleshoot the whole circuit, not just the spot where the symptom shows up. That usually means checking the panel, testing the breaker and wiring, and opening the outlets, switches and junction boxes along the run. We keep going until we find the loose connection, failed device or overloaded circuit behind the problem. Then we walk you through what we found and what the fix involves. We handle repairs for homes and businesses in Springboro and nearby, and we answer the phone 24 hours a day. If power is out to only part of your house, call your utility first. A problem on their side of the meter can look like a panel failure. If the problem is on your side, call us at 513-267-5460.

Common questions
When is an electrical problem an emergency?
Treat it as an emergency if you notice a burning smell or smoke from an outlet or appliance, sparks or arcing, a sudden loss of power in part of the building, or shocks when you touch a switch or appliance. Turn off the affected circuit at the panel if you can do it safely. Then call us at 513-267-5460, since we take emergency calls 24 hours a day.
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
The usual causes are too much load on one circuit, a short in the wiring or a device, or a worn-out breaker. A breaker that won't stay on is doing its job, and resetting it over and over doesn't fix the cause. We trace the circuit to find out which of these it is.
Do you work on commercial buildings?
Yes. We troubleshoot and repair electrical problems for both homes and businesses in Springboro and the surrounding area.
