Electrical Repair in Los Angeles
Most electrical problems start small: an outlet that stopped working, lights that dim when the AC kicks on, a breaker that trips every evening. They are worth fixing early, because the cause is often a loose connection or an overloaded circuit that heats up over time.
Common repairs
Dead or warm outlets, loose switches, flickering or dimming lights, tripping breakers, buzzing panels, damaged wiring after a remodel or a rodent problem.
What the electrician checks
The circuit load, the breaker and its connections, the wiring at the device, and whether the problem repeats on other outlets on the same circuit.
When to stop using a circuit
If you smell burning plastic, see scorch marks, or feel heat at an outlet or switch plate, turn that breaker off and leave it off until it has been inspected.
Questions
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
Usually too much load on one circuit, such as a space heater and a microwave on the same line, or a fault in a device or the wiring. A breaker that trips with nothing plugged in needs an electrician.
Can a handyman fix wiring?
In California, electrical work over a small dollar amount has to be done by a contractor with a C-10 electrical license. You can look up any license on the CSLB website.
