Electrical Repair & Troubleshooting

Electrical problems rarely fix themselves, and the ones that seem minor are often the ones that matter. A breaker that trips every few days, an outlet that stopped working, lights that flicker when the dryer runs, or a faint burning smell near the panel are all signs that something in the system is failing.

Caito Electric's service electricians carry the meters, thermal cameras, and parts to diagnose and fix most problems in a single visit. We explain what we found in plain language, show you the evidence, and quote the repair before we make it.

What's included

  • Tripping breakers and overloaded circuits
  • Flickering, dimming, or surging lights
  • Dead outlets, switches, and half-hot receptacles
  • Buzzing panels, warm outlets, and burning smells
  • Storm and lightning damage repair
  • Diagnosis of intermittent faults with thermal imaging

Common problems we see across the metro

Loose neutrals at the panel or meter that cause lights to brighten and dim, backstabbed outlets that lose contact, overloaded kitchen circuits in homes built before 1990, and rodent-damaged wiring in attics and crawlspaces. We fix the root cause rather than resetting the symptom.

Safety first

If you smell burning plastic, see scorching at an outlet, or hear sizzling from the panel, switch off the affected breaker or the main and request immediate service. Those are not wait-until-Monday problems.
