When to call us

Six signs your home wants an electrician.

  • Flickering or dimming lights. Could be a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or a panel issue. None of those fix themselves.
  • Breakers that keep tripping. The breaker is doing its job — but something is asking too much of it. Find out what before something burns.
  • Outlets that feel warm or look discolored. Heat at an outlet means a connection is failing. Replace before it arcs.
  • Burning smell near a panel or outlet. Stop using that circuit and call. If the smell is strong or you see smoke, call 911 first, us second.
  • Adding a big load. EV charger, induction range, hot tub, generator — any of these need a load calculation and probably a dedicated circuit. Sometimes a panel upgrade.
  • An old fuse panel or Federal Pacific / Zinsco breaker box. Both are documented fire hazards. Replacement is a safety priority, not maintenance.

Got one of these? Call (828) 551-9843 — we\'ll take a look.

General repairs

The everyday work, done right.

Outlet & switch repair

Dead outlets, sparking outlets, switches that don't switch. Diagnose, repair or replace, document. Per-unit discount when we do the whole house at once — most electrical failures happen at outlet and switch junctions, so a whole-home refresh is one of the best preventive moves on an older Asheville home. Adding new outlets or switches rather than fixing existing ones? See outlet & switch installation.

Breakers & panel faults

Damaged breaker, tripping breaker, breaker that won't reset, a panel that buzzes or runs warm. That work lives at electrical panel repair.

Electrical troubleshooting

Something's wrong but you can't tell what. We track it down — often within an hour or two.

Dedicated circuits

EV chargers, hot tubs, home offices, induction ranges, window AC. We size, install, and label.

Smart-home wiring

Smart switches, dimmers, thermostats, doorbells. We make sure the wiring supports what you bought.

Generator transfer switch wiring

Portable or standby generator? We wire the inlet, the transfer switch, and label which circuits run on backup.

Outdoor lighting + outlets

Porch lights, landscape lighting, exterior weatherproof outlets, dusk-to-dawn fixtures.

How service calls work

Three steps. No surprises.

  1. 1. Call us.

    We answer calls 7 days a week, 5 AM to 11:30 PM, and book you into the next available appointment. Tell us what's going on. We book Andrew to come out personally. There is no promise of an appointment today or the next day.

  2. 2. Estimated.

    We come look, diagnose the actual issue, and give you an itemized quote in plain English. You decide what to fix, what to defer, and what to skip.

  3. 3. Scheduled and fixed.

    You approve the quote, we book a date that works for you, we come back and do the work, test it, and walk you through what changed. Lifetime workmanship warranty on every repair we install.
