What Happens During a Residential Service Call

When you schedule residential electrical service in Kennewick and Vancouver, our technicians arrive with the tools and materials needed to diagnose and resolve the issue on the same visit whenever possible. We start by identifying the source of the problem, whether it is a worn circuit breaker, damaged wiring behind a wall, or an undersized panel that trips under normal use. You receive a clear explanation of what we find and what work is needed before any repair begins.

After the work is complete, you will notice immediate changes like lights that no longer flicker, outlets that hold plugs securely, and breakers that stay on during regular use. Projects are backed by a minimum one-year warranty, and all work meets current building codes to protect your family and your home.

For larger projects like room additions or kitchen renovations, we handle the complete wiring process from rough-in to final trim, coordinating with other trades and inspectors. We also perform safety inspections that identify hidden hazards such as aluminum wiring, missing ground connections, and panels installed decades ago that no longer meet code. Our work does not include major foundation repairs or HVAC system replacement, but we coordinate closely with other contractors when electrical work overlaps with other home improvement projects.

Questions That Come Up During Planning

Homeowners often have practical questions about timelines, costs, and what to prepare before electrical work begins. These answers cover the most common concerns we hear during service calls and project estimates.

What does a panel upgrade involve?
A panel upgrade involves removing your outdated electrical panel and installing a new one that can safely handle modern electrical loads. We disconnect power at the meter, replace the panel and breakers, reconnect circuits, and restore power after inspection.

How long does a typical electrical repair take?
Most electrical repairs like replacing a faulty outlet or breaker take one to two hours. Larger jobs such as rewiring a room or installing new circuits can take several hours or a full day depending on the scope of work.

Why do my breakers keep tripping?
Breakers trip when a circuit is overloaded, when there is a short circuit in the wiring, or when the breaker itself has worn out. We test the circuit, check for damaged wiring, and replace the breaker if needed.

What should I do if my lights flicker?
Flickering lights often indicate a loose connection, a failing fixture, or voltage fluctuations caused by an undersized panel or damaged wiring. We trace the circuit to find the exact cause and make the necessary repair.

How often should I have my electrical system inspected?
You should have your electrical system inspected every few years, especially if your home is more than twenty years old or if you notice signs like tripping breakers, warm outlets, or burning smells. Inspections identify hazards before they cause damage or injury.
