Electrical Troubleshooting & Repair Services
Fast Fixes for Your Electrical Problems – Done Right the First Time!
When something goes wrong with your electrical system, you need it fixed safely and promptly. Our team at J. Malcolm Electric excels at troubleshooting – finding the root cause of electrical issues – and making reliable repairs. From a single dead outlet to a whole section of the house without power, we’ll get everything working again.
Common Issues:
Dead outlets or switches:
If one or more outlets stop working, we track down backstabbed connections, tripped GFCIs, or wiring breaks and fix them.
Frequent breaker trips or blown fuses:
We diagnose whether the cause is an overloaded circuit, a short, or a bad breaker and provide a permanent solution.
Lights flickering or dimming:
This could indicate a loose connection, faulty fixture, or voltage drop – we identify and fix it so your lights stay steady.
Burning smell or sparks:
(Emergency) If you notice a burning odor, buzzing panel, or see sparks when plugging something in, call us immediately – we offer 24/7 emergency service to address these dangerous situations. We’ll find the faulty component and repair or replace it to eliminate the hazard.
Odd electrical behavior:
Whatever the quirk – half a circuit is out, appliances causing interference, etc. – we’ve seen it and can solve it
