Nevada Contractor License #076191. Licensed, insured, and locally owned in Las Vegas since 2010.
Real Answers Before Anyone Touches a Wire
- Breakers that trip repeatedly, even right after you reset them
- Lights that flicker, dim, or buzz, in one fixture or the whole house
- One outlet, room, or circuit that loses power while the rest of the home stays on
- A switch plate or outlet that feels warm, or a burning smell that comes and goes
- GFCI or AFCI outlets that will not reset, or that trip with no clear cause
- Aluminum wiring or unpermitted DIY work left behind by a previous owner
- Intermittent problems that only show up sometimes, the hardest kind to diagnose over the phone
How We Track Down the Problem
- Call and describe what you are seeing. Tell us about the tripped breaker, the flicker, or the dead outlet, and we will tell you right away whether it is safe to wait or you should shut off power at the breaker first.
- On-site diagnostic. Your electrician tests the affected circuit, panel, outlets, and connected equipment with a meter rather than guessing, to isolate the actual fault.
- Plain-language findings. Before any repair starts, we explain what is wrong, what likely caused it, and what it will take to fix.
- Clear terms before the clock starts. Troubleshooting is billed hourly, rounded to the nearest half hour, and we tell you that up front.
- Fix it right. If our electrician has what’s needed on the service vehicle, most troubleshooting calls end with the repair finished the same visit. If the fix is bigger, a damaged panel bus bar or a rewiring project, we bring in an estimator to assess it and get it scheduled.
What Affects the Cost of a Troubleshooting Call
Electrical troubleshooting is a paid service, billed hourly and rounded to the nearest half hour. If our electrician can diagnose the issue and already has what’s needed on the service vehicle, we can often complete the repair during that same visit, so you are not paying for a second trip.
If the diagnosis reveals a larger problem, something like a damaged panel bus bar that needs extensive repair or replacement, we arrange for an estimator to assess the project and provide a cost estimate for that work at no additional charge.
We do not publish a standard hourly rate, since pricing varies depending on the type of property, the nature of the electrical issue, and whether the work is residential or commercial. Contact us to talk through what you are experiencing and get a visit scheduled.
Financing is available through Acorn Finance for larger repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you already know what is broken, a dead outlet or a fixture that needs replacing, that is a standard repair. If you do not know why something is happening, breakers tripping for no clear reason, flickering lights, one area losing power, that is a troubleshooting call. Either way, we diagnose first, so you are never guessing which one to book.
Flickering can come from something as simple as a loose bulb, or from something more serious like a loose connection at the breaker or panel. Voltage fluctuations, an overloaded circuit, and a failing switch can all cause it too. We test the circuit and its connections to find the actual cause rather than replacing parts at random.
A breaker that trips repeatedly is protecting the circuit from an overload or a fault, so resetting it without knowing why is usually a short-term fix at best. We check the circuit’s load, look for loose or damaged wiring, and test the breaker itself to find the real cause.
It depends on what else you notice. If you smell burning, see sparks, or a switch or outlet is hot to the touch, shut off the breaker if you safely can and call us right away, that is an emergency, not a standard troubleshooting call. If the power loss is otherwise unexplained, call us and we will help you figure out whether it can wait for a scheduled visit.
Troubleshooting is billed hourly, rounded to the nearest half hour. We do not publish a flat rate, since cost depends on your property and the nature of the issue. If the diagnosis points to a bigger project, like significant panel or wiring damage, an estimator assesses it and gives you a cost estimate for that work at no additional charge. Contact us and we will talk through what you are seeing before scheduling a visit.
Often, yes. Many calls start with a small symptom, a flicker, a trip, a warm outlet, that traces back to a loose connection or an aging component that is easy to fix while it is still minor. Catching it early is usually less disruptive and less costly than waiting for it to fail outright.
When Troubleshooting Points to Something Bigger
If the diagnosis points to worn wiring or a panel that has reached the end of its useful life, we handle electrical panel upgrades with the same straightforward approach. If it turns out to be a straightforward fix, that becomes part of our standard electrical repair service. If what you are describing sounds urgent, sparking, a burning smell, or a total loss of power, call our emergency electrician line instead so we can get someone out right away.

Diagnostic visits are billed hourly, rounded to the nearest half hour, and if it turns into a bigger project, we provide that estimate at no additional charge. We accept calls nights and weekends when technician availability allows.
