Diagnosing Power Loss by Expert Electrical Contractors in Odenton, MD
When we are called in to diagnose the loss of power to your home, whether it’s the entire house, half of the house lost power, or just a few outlets and fixtures, we typically take a few steps to identify the problem. We’ll check the circuit breaker to see if it has tripped. If it has, we’ll reset it and see if power is restored. If it keeps tripping, that indicates an overload or short circuit on the circuit. If the circuit breaker is working correctly, we may inspect all the outlets and switches in an area without power to look for any signs of damage or loose connections. We’ll also check for tripped GFCI outlets. To check these outlets and switches, we’ll use a voltage tester, to see if there is power present at each outlet or switch. This can help determine if the problem is just one outlet, or in multiple outlets. If our electricians suspect a wiring issue, we’ll inspect the wires in the powerless area to determine if there’s damage, a fixture that’s faulty, or loose connections causing a short, or burn damage to the wires. We may also use a wire tracer to locate any breaks in the wiring. If those steps fail to diagnose the issue, we will test the main circuit breaker box to see if there are any issues with the breakers or wiring.
Installing Dedicated Circuits near Odenton, MD
There are a few reasons why you might want a dedicated circuit in your home. Firstly, it can help prevent overloading of the electrical system, which is a potential fire hazard. It can also reduce the risk of electrical shock by making sure that only one appliance is connected to the circuit.
Another benefit of having a dedicated circuit is that it can provide consistent power to an appliance, even if other appliances are being used at the same time. This is especially helpful for high-power appliances like air conditioners, refrigerators, hot tubs, saunas, pools, or electric water heaters.
Licensed Odenton Circuit Panel Upgrades
We can help perform what is called a “Heavy Up” or an upgrade to a 200 amp circuit panel. This is most often done in older homes or when an appliance is added that puts a strain on your circuit panel and breakers. The classic symptom that may be an indicator that you need an upgrade is frequently tripping breakers.
Install or Repair Bathroom Fans
Installing or replacing a bathroom exhaust fan is a simple yet essential task that can significantly improve the air quality in your home.
The first step is to choose the appropriate size and type of fan based on the bathroom’s dimensions and ventilation needs. Once we have your new fan, we’ll need to turn off the power to the existing fan, remove it from the ceiling or wall, and disconnect the wiring. The new fan can then be installed, with the ductwork properly attached and secured, and the wiring reconnected. Finally, turn the power back on, and we’re all set to enjoy improved ventilation and a fresher bathroom environment.

Reason for the call was bathroom GFCI circuit keep tripping. We saw that one of the breakers on the circuit was melted and overheated. We did a full assessment of the home and saw that the devices were very old and falling apart. They were backstabbed, which is a key factor of overheating and power loss. Gave customer options to remove and replace all devices throughout the house, replace breakers in panel for multi wire branch circuits, and also replace the exterior light. Customer moved forward with all of the above. Work is complete. Please let us know if there is anything else that we could do for you. It was a pleasure!
-Arrived onsite and she showed me to the panel where she explained the va inspector that was looking at the home for the buyers didn’t like the double tapped breaker. I went and opened up the panel and found the chime wire on with the top breaker. I explained that it is technically legal via the new but that i could split it up and put it a dedicated breaker if she would like and that’s what i did. I extended the chime wire down and added a breaker on the bottom left and labeled it doorbell. While i was in the panel i also went and tightened down all the connections before reinstall the cover as well.

-Arrived onsite and gave an explanation of everything the whole home maintenance inspection and what was involved in that and then Tyler went upstairs and started by adjusting the attic fan because they didn’t feel it was running enough, but then adjusted it back to 105 degrees as a happy medium the residents picked. I started at the panel and found 2 shared neutral/ multifeed circuits, i found the bonding insufficient at the hot water heater and no gas bond, and the smoke detectors looked original to the house based off what i could see. I talked to him about a backup battery for his sump pump and a redevice while i was there as well, and also wrote up estimates for those to be done. Tyler replaced all 3 smoke detectors while i removed the 4 single pole breakers, and installed the 2, 2 pole breakers on the multifeeds, and installed the proper bonding as well. Once done, everything was tested and verified working.
-Arrived onsite and discussed with the homeowner about the existing smoke detectors that were all out of date and what would be needed to update them all to modern safety standards. while we were talking about the basement once we also discussed adding one in the back storage room as well, and i found a lack of bonding from hot to cold to gas in the house. I also took a look at the main pane while down here and although it’s getting a little older, I don’t see any immediate concerns at this time. I wrote up my recommendations as well as talked to her about the vip membership plan we offer, and she is now a member, and we went ahead and completed the removal and replacement of 3 smoke carbon combos, one on each floor. Then fished off the basement smoke back into the unfinished room to add a 4th. We also added the bonding while down there as well. After we finished and cleaned up, we tested and verified all the smoke detectors work properly.

Arrived onsite today to take a look at the scope of work in both the family room and the master bedroom for two TV’s wall-mounted & outlets installed behind them. We checked the main electrical panel and verified that the two circuits do in fact have arc-fault breakers, but the electrical panel had no whole-home surge protection installed. We made mention of this to the homeowner and provided a solution to address the lack of surge protection as well. Homeowner made mention that he may be interested in replacing his current gas cooktop with a fully electric cooktop, we advised that he decide which cooktop he would like to install and provide the specification of the individual model, so we could then at that point provide proper pricing for the new cooktop circuit. The homeowner let us know that he had a few other electricians scheduled to come out and provide quotes for the TV project, and asked us to email pricing.

We will land the circuit on a 20 amp D/F breaker to meet code/safety requirements of concrete floors and new dedicated circuit. We were called out today to look at circuit that was tripping.

Arrived onsite and was show to the back of a closet where the eyeball style recess lighting wasn’t working. One needed a bulb, but I found a hidden switch that controls them behind a dresser in the closet. The one in the corner of the basement living room was on a switch on the outside of the room, and just needed a bulb. After replacing a few bulbs I turned everything on and it all works now. The shower recess had no power in it so in talked about what I’d have to do to get it working and she asked me to just leave it alone for now. Many of the trims are fallen or crooked because of crooked cans or the can being too recessed, or not enough causing the trims to not look even.
We have provided pricing regarding the various electrical tasks.

He also showed me a dorbell transformer that is buried, and i recommend that i could change it for him but there should really be an access panel there so it is accessible in the future as well.

Reason for today’s visit was for breaker tripping when shower was turned on in the guest bathroom. While doing our assessment, we saw that the switches for that bathroom were backstabbed and also wiring was damaged. The humidity from the shower caused the breaker to trip when the fan is on. We corrected the wiring in the switch bank and replaced the two switches. After replacing the switches, we let the shower run on hot for about 15 minutes to make sure that the problem was corrected. The breaker no longer tripped. When we were examining the panel, we also saw that the home, even though Brand New, had no surge protection. We offered to install this while on site as well.

All Haas & Sons professionals, from the initial request (provided by Krystal) for service to the completion of the job (provided by Genny), were nothing less than outstanding. They communicated their entire process and pricing upfront, and met all commitments in a timely and efficient manner. Above all, they were knowledgeable, professional and courteous throughout the home electrical services provided. I would not hesitate to “highly recommend” their services to family, friends, and neighbors alike. Well done!
Ridiculous pricing. $300/hour is UNACCEPTABLE
From the call to Haas office and the arrival of Mike to repair our electrical problem it was an absolute pleasure. Mike was so patient and professional doing a great job restoring our electricity. He was very friendly and obviously has a lot of experience, making us feel very safe with his suggestions. Thanks Haas and Sons Electrical. We will definitely use you in the future!
Very good walk-thru of items to be done and the electrician did go over their estimate to do the items requested before he left. But still haven't received my written estimate via email as I requested.
Great communication in arranging appointment and during appointment
Timely, courteous, and professional service
Knowledgeable, professional
Nick was amazing. Our issue was very simple to resolve, but he took the time to explain everything to me, kindly and thoroughly. He was very respectful of my home, and my lack of knowledge. I will definitely use this business for future electrical needs, and highly recommend them to others.
The task Matt tackled for us was spread out over four long (for him) days, and he was prompt every day. Matt was very professional and his work ethic is beyond reproach. The work involved relocating a breaker panel, and running a new supply line on the outside of the house.. What I was most impressed by, though, was the fact that out of four electrical contractors we asked for prices, Matt/Haas and Sons was the only one who didn't balk when we asked for a permit to be pulled for the job. I would absolutely recommend Haas and Matt for any electrical work you need to have performed.
Alex was a pleasure to have in my home and very professional in the work he was doing. He was efficient and got a lot of work done in a short amount of time.
Would definitely recommend. Diagnostic skills were excellent and corrected the problem very efficiently and provided clear explanations as to what was the problem.
Nick was outstanding, diagnosed problem quickly; explained the source, the solution and cost up front; and finished the job expertly! 5 STAR work!!!
Very easy to contact. Michael was amazingly efficient, neat and clean. He is extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, pleasant and a pleasure to work with,
The technician Michael was knowledgeable, friendly and very personable. He kept me informed each step of the way about what needed to be done. If I have any future electrical work to be done I will definitely be contacting Haas & sons.
