Breaker keeps tripping? Lights flickering? Outlet stopped working?

Electrical problems don’t all look the same. Some are annoying, while others can become safety hazards if they’re ignored. Here are some of the most common issues we help homeowners and businesses solve in Burbank.
Breaker Keeps Tripping
If your breaker trips once, it may have done its job. If it keeps happening, something isn’t right. The problem could be an overloaded circuit, a faulty appliance, a failing breaker, or an issue with the wiring. We’ll find the cause before making any repairs.

Lights That Flicker or Dim
A flickering light isn’t always caused by a bad bulb. Loose connections, overloaded circuits, or problems inside the electrical system can all cause lights to flicker. We’ll inspect the circuit and explain what’s causing the issue.
Dead Outlets
An outlet that suddenly stops working may be connected to a tripped GFCI outlet, a damaged receptacle, loose wiring, or another electrical fault. We’ll test the outlet and make the necessary repair.
Burning Smell or Warm Outlets
If you notice a burning smell or an outlet feels unusually warm, stop using it and call an electrician. These signs can point to overheating or damaged wiring that should be inspected as soon as possible.

Buzzing Switches or Outlets
Electrical devices should operate quietly. If you hear buzzing or crackling from a switch, outlet, or electrical panel, it could mean a loose connection or another problem that needs attention.
Partial Power Loss
If only part of your home or business loses power while the rest still has electricity, the problem could be inside your electrical system or related to the utility supply. We’ll diagnose the fault and determine the safest next step.
Not Sure What’s Causing the Problem?
You don’t need to know what’s wrong before you call. Describe what you’re seeing, hearing, or smelling, and we’ll inspect the system to identify the cause.
Electrical problems can have different causes, even when the symptoms look the same. We take the time to identify the issue first, then recommend the repair that’s appropriate for your electrical system.
A breaker that trips repeatedly, won’t reset, or feels hot to the touch should be inspected. We’ll determine whether the breaker, the circuit, or another component is causing the problem.
Loose outlets, damaged switches, outlets that don’t work, or GFCI outlets that keep tripping can all affect the safety and reliability of your electrical system. We’ll diagnose the issue and repair or replace the affected component when needed.
Damaged, loose, or aging wiring can lead to flickering lights, power interruptions, or overheating. We’ll inspect the wiring, identify the fault, and make safe, code-compliant repairs.
If indoor or outdoor lights stop working, flicker, or operate inconsistently, we’ll inspect the fixture, switch, wiring, and circuit to locate the problem.
Your electrical panel controls the flow of electricity throughout the property. If you notice unusual noises, frequent breaker trips, or signs of overheating, we’ll inspect the panel and recommend the right repair—or an upgrade if a repair is no longer the safest option.
We also provide electrical repair services for offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and other commercial properties. Our electricians work efficiently to minimize downtime while restoring safe operation.

When a Repair Isn’t the Best Option
Sometimes replacing a worn or outdated component is safer and more practical than repairing it. If that’s the case, we’ll explain why, discuss your options, and let you decide before any work begins.

Some electrical problems are easy to spot. Others start small and gradually get worse. If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s a good idea to have your electrical system inspected before the problem becomes more serious.
Your Breaker Trips Repeatedly
A breaker is designed to shut off power when it detects a problem. If it keeps tripping, don’t keep resetting it. The underlying issue should be diagnosed.
Lights Flicker in More Than One Room
One flickering light may be a loose bulb. If lights flicker throughout your home or business, the problem could be somewhere in the electrical system.
Outlets or Switches Feel Warm
Outlets and switches should never become hot during normal use. Heat can be a sign of loose wiring, overloading, or failing electrical components.
You Smell Something Burning
A burning smell near an outlet, switch, breaker panel, or electrical equipment should never be ignored. Turn off power to the affected area if it’s safe to do so, then call an electrician.
You Hear Buzzing or Crackling Sounds
Electrical switches, outlets, and panels should not normally make buzzing, crackling, or popping sounds. Buzzing, crackling, or popping sounds may indicate loose connections or damaged electrical components that need attention.
Your Home Still Has Older Wiring or an Outdated Panel
Many Burbank homes were built decades ago, before today’s electrical demands became common. If your electrical system hasn’t been inspected or updated in years, it may be worth having it evaluated, especially if you’re adding new appliances or planning a renovation.

Sometimes the safest and most cost-effective solution is to replace a damaged component or upgrade an outdated electrical panel. If that's the case, we'll explain why and let you decide how you'd like to move forward.
If a breaker trips once and there are no signs of damage, you may be able to reset it once. If it trips again, don’t keep resetting it. The repeated trip should be diagnosed.
Not always. A loose light bulb can cause flickering, but so can loose wiring, overloaded circuits, or problems within the electrical system. If the flickering continues or affects multiple lights, it’s worth having it checked.
It can be. Sometimes the problem is as simple as a tripped GFCI outlet. In other cases, it may be caused by damaged wiring or a faulty outlet. We’ll inspect it and explain what caused the problem.
No. An outlet or switch that feels warm, buzzes, or sparks should not be ignored. Stop using it and have it inspected as soon as possible.
