Enes came within 15 minutes, maybe less, and spent over an hour trying to find the source of my power outage. He was going to find the source and did it by eliminating everything that may have been the issue. He did it with confidence and determination but it was obvious he was experienced and knew exactly what he was doing. I would highly recommend him as he will always go the extra mile to make sure when he leaves that he is confident the problem was solved

After searching relentlessly for electricians and having multiple come through our property to try and find the cause of our power cutting out, I found Ernie with a quick Google search. I wish that I had done this in the first place as Ernie was able to fix the problem easily, and professionally. To say he is absolutely amazing would be an understatement. I refuse to hire any other Electritian from here on out Thankyou again Ernie, you have been able to achieve such a major issue that nobody else has been able to with our electricity. I’m so grateful to have found your service. If anyone is needing a professional, reasonably priced, personable Electritian, I encourage you to call Ernie.

Your safety switch may be tripping due to faulty appliances, damaged wiring or overloaded circuits. Unplugging appliances and resetting the switch can help identify the issue. If it keeps tripping, contact a licensed electrician to inspect the system for faults.

Yes, a circuit breaker that keeps tripping is a warning sign of electrical issues such as short circuits, circuit overloads or faulty wiring. Ignoring this can lead to damaged appliances or electrical fires. If your breaker keeps tripping, it’s best to have a licensed electrician assess the problem.
