Frequently Asked Questions
How do you charge for electrical troubleshooting and fixing?
Our standard service charge is for one hour, but in most cases, we can resolve the issue within an hour and a half. For more complex problems, we offer up to two hours of service.
How does an electrician troubleshoot an electrical problem?
A licensed electrician follows a systematic seven-step diagnostic process: gathering information and documentation, understanding how the fixture should function normally, measuring input and output signals against expected values, isolating individual components to find the faulty one, performing the repair or replacement, verifying the fix through repeated testing, and finally identifying the root cause to prevent future failures. The process is methodical precisely because guessing on electrical faults is expensive — and occasionally dangerous.
What are the most common electrical faults in a home in New Orleans?
The most frequent issues our electricians encounter are: constant electrical surges (voltage fluctuations from the grid), power dips caused by appliances with internal faults, switches that fail to supply consistent current, circuit breakers that trip frequently, circuit overloads from too many high-draw appliances on one circuit, lights that vary in brightness due to neutral connection problems, electric shocks from switches or appliance casings, and unexplained increases in electricity bills. Most are diagnosable and fixable — but not safely as DIY projects.
Why does my circuit breaker keep tripping?
A circuit breaker trips when a circuit carries more current than it was designed for. The most common causes are a single high-draw appliance with an internal fault, too many appliances running simultaneously on one circuit, or a wiring fault that creates resistance or a short circuit. The breaker tripping is the system working correctly — the problem is figuring out what caused it. If the breaker trips repeatedly or will not stay reset, call us: (504) 782-5775 — do not keep resetting it.
Is it safe to try to fix electrical faults myself?
For very minor tasks — replacing a lightbulb, resetting a tripped breaker, unplugging a faulty appliance — yes. For anything involving wiring, switches, outlets, panels, or appliance components, no. In New Orleans, electrical work beyond basic maintenance requires a permit and must be performed by a Technical Safety BC certified electrician. Beyond the legal requirement, the practical risk of electrocution, fire, or damage to appliances from an incorrectly diagnosed fault is real.
Why has my electricity bill suddenly increased?
A sudden unexplained increase — without a change in usage habits or tariff — usually points to an appliance developing a fault and drawing more power than it should, a wiring issue causing electrical leakage, devices left on high-drain standby, or failing insulation creating a partial fault that wastes power. An electrician can perform a diagnostic check to identify where the excess consumption is coming from.
Do you offer a warranty?
A six-month limited warranty backs most troubleshooting services. This warranty covers the work performed during the troubleshooting session, but does not include the replacement of receptacles or devices.
