Electrical Troubleshooting in Columbus, OH

Electrical Troubleshooting

When it comes to electrical troubleshooting in Columbus, OH, some issues are easy to fix, while others are more complicated and require some investigative work. 

At Safe Electric, we start every electrical troubleshooting service with a thorough inspection of your system. We also conduct testing to determine the root cause of the problem you are experiencing.

Our residential electricians take the time to inspect all components of your electrical system.

Electrical Panels

The main electrical panel in your home is a critical part of the electrical system. It is also a common place where electrical problems occur. Electrical panels are a complicated combination of wires and switches, so there are plenty of opportunities for something to go wrong.

Our team will complete a visual inspection of the wiring, circuit breakers, and other components to determine whether the issue is rooted in the panel.

Wiring

Your home’s electrical system depends on hundreds of feet of wires all working correctly to transmit electricity where you need it. Each room and each outlet has its own wiring, so there are lots of opportunities for something to go wrong. 

For this reason, it can be difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem if it is, in fact, a wiring issue. Luckily, our team has years of experience and can quickly troubleshoot to uncover any wiring issues.

Fuses

If your home has a fuse box, it is considered an obsolete panel and no longer up to Ohio Electrical code. We will always strongly recommend a replacement because it cannot be worked on safely, parts are not readily available, and are often fire hazards. Working on obsolete panels often impacts other repairs throughout the home as well.

Arc Fault Breaker

Arc fault breakers, also known as arc fault circuit interrupters, are designed to detect dangerous arcing conditions before they pose a fire hazard to the home. Not all homes in Columbus, OH, have arc fault breakers, but homes that do can experience problems that interrupt your electrical system.

Arc fault breakers are an important part of your electrical system and not only keep your family safe from danger but also protect your appliances, or anything else plugged in. When our technicians perform their electrical diagnosis, they’ll be able to determine what is wrong with any arc fault breaker and fix it quickly. When arc fault breakers trip, it means they are performing and our electricians know to diagnose the root cause of the tripping.

Electric Meter

Sometimes issues with your electrical system aren’t problems with the system at all, but rather a problem with your electric meter. If your meter isn’t working properly, your system won’t be receiving the right signals and vice versa.

Issues with your meter can be hard to detect on the surface, but a trained professional can determine whether there is an underlying problem. We can determine whether your electrical issue is related to the meter and fix it before it starts to impact your monthly electric bill.

Electrical Repair

Residential electrical troubleshooting is just the first step in getting your electrical system back to top working condition. Once our team determines the root cause of the issue, the next step is more than likely repair.

Our team can walk you through exactly what the problem is and what your options are for repair. We’ll never begin any work without talking you through it first, and we’ll also never recommend any work unless it is absolutely necessary.

Whether we find a small problem that can be addressed through a minor adjustment or a major issue that involves extensive repair, our experts are up for the job.
