FAQs

Troubleshooting FAQs

Why do my lights flicker when the AC turns on? ▾
This is usually caused by a voltage drop when a large motor starts. It can be normal at a low level, but significant flickering may indicate an undersized service, loose connections, or a panel issue. We can diagnose and recommend the right fix.
What does it mean when a breaker keeps tripping? ▾
A breaker that trips repeatedly is telling you something — either the circuit is overloaded, there's a short circuit, or the breaker itself is faulty. None of these should be ignored. We'll identify the exact cause and fix it correctly.
My home inspector flagged electrical issues — can you fix them? ▾
Absolutely. We handle home inspection electrical corrections regularly, including double-tapped breakers, missing GFCI protection, open junction boxes, improper wire gauge, and more. We provide documentation of corrections for closing.
My home has aluminum wiring — is that dangerous? ▾
Aluminum wiring (common in Massachusetts homes built between 1965–1973) can be a fire risk if connections have loosened over time. We can assess your system and recommend pigtailing with approved connectors or other remediation options.
