## Electrical Repair in Santa Barbara, CA

A dead outlet is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Our Santa Barbara technicians trace the circuit back through every device on it, because the failure is usually upstream of the outlet that stopped working.

Call (833) 652-8933 and describe what is happening. If it is a same-day job we will book it today, and if it needs a site visit to quote properly we will tell you that too.

## Situations we see in Santa Barbara

### One outlet quit working

We check for a tripped GFCI upstream, then open the run and look for a failed back-stab or loose neutral. It is almost always a connection, not the outlet itself.

### Warm switch or cover plate

Heat means resistance, and resistance means a loose termination. This gets repaired the day we find it, not scheduled for later.

### Half the outlets in a room dead

Classic mid-run failure. We split the circuit and work from both ends until the dead leg shows up, then repair the joint properly.

### GFCI won't reset

Either the device has failed, there is real leakage current downstream, or the load side is miswired. Metering tells us which in a few minutes.

## Reviews from Santa Barbara County

★★★★★

GFCI in the bathroom kept tripping. They found real leakage in an old fixture rather than just replacing the GFCI and calling it done.

Hot tub circuit and disconnect. Permit, inspection, everything. Showed up when they said and cleaned up after.

Bought a 1948 house with cloth wiring. They phased the rewire so we always had power in half the house, and gave us paperwork our insurer accepted.

## Electrical Repair in Santa Barbara — questions

Will you find the problem on the first visit?

That is the goal, and it is why we meter rather than guess. If a fault is intermittent we can install monitoring to catch it instead of charging you for repeat visits.

Do you fix work another electrician or a previous owner did?

Regularly. Unpermitted additions, back-stabbed devices and undersized wiring are some of the most common things we correct in Santa Barbara County homes.

Why do my breakers trip when I use the microwave and toaster together?

That circuit is carrying more load than it was designed for. The fix is a dedicated circuit for the heavy appliance, which is a common upgrade in older Santa Barbara kitchens.

Can you repair one outlet, or is there a minimum job?

One outlet is a normal call for us in Santa Barbara. There is no requirement to bundle work you don't need.

How much does electrical repair cost in Santa Barbara?

Simple device and switch repairs sit at the low end, circuit tracing and panel work at the higher end. We diagnose first, then hand you a flat number for the repair before touching anything. Call (833) 652-8933 for a quote on your situation.
