Power problems don’t just trip breakers—they trip the business. Registers hang, kitchens backlog, offices lose momentum, and tenants get frustrated. Our repair-first approach focuses on restoring clean power and safe distribution: balance loads, fix loose terminations, clean up neutrals/grounds, and correct protection and controls—so equipment runs the way it should.
Common Problems, Real Causes
Overloaded / Unbalanced Panels
Frequent trips, hot buses, dimming lights. We balance loads, right-size breakers, and label so you can find issues fast.
Shared Circuits on Sensitive Gear
POS, servers, or controls tied with motors/heat. Dedicated runs and surge/UPS keep transactions and data stable.
Dirty Power / Harmonics
Board failures and nuisance trips. We measure THD, add filtering where needed, and clean up neutrals/grounds.
Loose Neutrals & Grounds
Arcing, voltage swings, and heat at terminations. We torque to spec, replace damaged lugs, and verify bonding.
Lighting & Controls
Flicker, dim zones, or high failure rate. We resolve driver/load issues, set schedules, and reduce energy waste.
Egress / Emergency Lighting
Failed tests and citations. We test, replace batteries/heads, and document for inspectors and insurance.
Voltage Drop & Long Runs
Slow motors, brown-outs at equipment. We re-route, upsize conductors, or add local protection where it pays.
Backup Power & Transfer
Improper sequencing or undersized backup. We service ATS, validate critical loads, and plan realistic run times.
“Stabilize power first, fix what’s fixable, document the readings—then decide the next move.”
Repair-First Electrical Playbook
1) Stabilize & Make Safe
Isolate the fault, restore critical loads, and get lights/POS/HVAC back while we dig deeper.
2) Diagnose the Cause
IR scan, voltage/amp checks, THD, torque audit, and labeling—so we fix the reason, not just the symptom.
3) Correct & Document
Terminations corrected, circuits dedicated or balanced, protection right-sized. Photos and readings included.
Case Notes
Retail POS Freezes
Registers shared with cooler compressors. Added dedicated circuits & surge; freezes resolved, chargebacks down.
Restaurant Breaker Trips
Loose neutral and high grease load on hood circuit. Torque, cleanup, driver replacement, and scheduled filter swaps.
Apartment Stair Egress
Failed emergency tests. Battery heads replaced, circuits verified, labels corrected—inspection passed.
