Four fields. We call back the same day with a written range.
Diagnose and fix electrical problems other electricians couldn't pin down — flickering lights, dead outlets, mystery trips, and everything in between.
Not every electrical problem is obvious. A breaker that trips for no clear reason, an outlet that's dead but the breaker looks fine, lights that flicker in one room only — these take real diagnostic work, not guesswork or a parts-swap-and-hope approach.
We trace the circuit, test at the source, and find the actual cause before touching anything — then explain what we found and what it'll take to fix it, in plain language, before starting the repair.
$250 – $350 Diagnostic visit — most faults are found within the first hour
Our service-call minimum. We trace the fault and give you a price in writing before fixing anything. Go ahead with the repair and this comes off the bill. Median: $280.
Found and fixed in the same visit in most cases. Median: $380.
Multi-circuit tracing simply takes longer — you get the price in writing once we know what we're chasing.
You pay for the diagnosis once: if you go ahead with the repair, the $250 comes off the final bill. Planning a project instead? Estimates for panel upgrades, EV chargers, remodels and other planned work are free — the $250 minimum applies to service calls, when something needs to be diagnosed or fixed.
These ranges are a starting point, not a quote. The exact price for your job can only be set after we talk it through — call or send the form and you’ll have it as a free written estimate before any work starts.
Ranges taken from our own paid invoices, August 2024 – August 2026. 36 diagnostic visits, 14 extended service calls.
Something's clearly wrong — tripping breakers, dead outlets, flickering or dimming lights — but the cause isn't obvious
Another electrician swapped parts without actually finding the problem, and it's back
You're buying or selling a home and want an unbiased read on an electrical issue an inspector flagged
A circuit works intermittently and you need someone who'll actually track it down, not just reset the breaker
Why Power Professor
In writing, on every install. Parts keep the manufacturer's own warranty on top of it.
We pull the permit, book the inspection and meet the inspector. It's in the price, not on top of it.
