When Something Electrical Isn't Right, You Want a Real Diagnosis — Not a Guess.
Common Electrical Repairs We Handle
Most of the calls we get fall into a handful of categories. If you're seeing any of these in your home or building, it's worth getting checked:
- Tripping breakers — overloaded circuits, shorts, or failing breakers.
- Dead outlets and switches — bad connections, loose wires, GFCI faults.
- Flickering or dimming lights — often a loose neutral, bad connection, or utility issue.
- Burning smell or warm outlets — stop using the circuit and call us immediately.
- Buzzing panels or outlets — usually loose wiring or a failing breaker.
- Partial power loss — frequently a service or neutral problem.
- Old aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring — repair, replacement, and remediation.
How We Approach a Service Call
You'll get a real diagnosis before any work begins, and a written quote before we start swapping parts. We won't sell you a panel upgrade when the actual problem is a $40 breaker.
- Listen. What's happening, when, and what's already been tried.
- Test. Voltage, continuity, load, grounding — wherever the symptoms point.
- Diagnose. Identify the root cause, not just the symptom.
- Quote. Written, up-front price before any repair is done.
- Repair. Code-compliant fix, tested before we leave.
When to Call an Electrician Immediately
Some electrical issues are a fire risk. Stop using the circuit and call Tower Electric the same day if you notice:
- A burning or "fishy" smell near an outlet or panel
- Outlets, switches, or plugs that feel hot
- Sparks when plugging or unplugging anything
- Visible scorch marks around an outlet
- Breakers that trip immediately after being reset
If something feels wrong, trust it. Call (479) 208-2279.
