Why the Wrong Diagnosis Costs More
Three different electricians replaced the same hallway outlet over a year. We found a loose upstream connection and fixed it permanently.
Repeated GFCI trips were caused by circuit overload, not the GFCI itself. We installed a dedicated circuit.
When the Outlet Isn't the Problem
Half of “dead outlet” calls in Newell, WV are caused by a tripped GFCI elsewhere in the home. Walk the house and reset every GFCI first.
GFCIs can be in unexpected places: garages, laundry rooms, bathrooms, etc.
