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.
Ceiling Fan Installation or Replacement

Replace receptacle
We have delivered pricing regarding the new 240V cooktop.
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.

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.

The reason for todays visit as to provide a solution on installing a new dedicated circuit for a customer supplied EV charger. Today as we arrived, we began inspecting the panel where we saw a 200 amp homeline panel installed in 2002. The panel showed 3 shared neutral circuits with no surge protection. The customer was made aware of the panel health and a solution was provided. I also spoke with the customer on a device that was failing (3 way at top of steps) that caused the lights to begin to flicker in the hall and landing. Customer also stated the lights inside of the dining room were working intermittently and we saw that these devices were back stabbed causing pre-mature power loss. After discussing options and not having the EV charger on site, customer would like to take some time and reflect on todays visit then if deciding to move forward will contact.
Arrived onsite and entered through the second front door, which was the car port that was converted in to a separate addition to the house. Upon arriving i was told that the baseboard heaters don’t come on at all, and they’re controlled by a thermostat on the wall. I opened up both panels where the terminations are on the baseboard heaters and the thermostat, and tested the thermostat which was a variable speed, but was wired incorrectly from the start when they first installed the system, so that only the high setting would work as an on off switch. I confirmed the both turned on at the high setting, and had 240v. They both did, so i began discussing possible solutions to alter the setup but it seems an on off switch is what they wanted in this situation so i put everything back together and turned them on so they could feel them working.

Arrived onsite and he talked to us about his sauna he will be buying and we went over options i could do to get the dedicated circuit to where he wanted. His panel is currently covered by a shelf but we it would be moved before the job. To avoid cutting any drywall we would come out of the back of the panel and pipe all the way up, along the garage banboard, down and around the side of the house until i get to where the outlet will be, then re-enter the house there to feed the dedicated 20 amp 120v receptacle. It will be GFCI protected via the breaker we will install at the panel. I also discussed whole home surge protection with him. He told me he would call in to schedule if they decide tomorrow.
The reason for todays visit with customer was to quote on replacement of two fluorescent tube fixtures along with adding a ceiling light fixture located in the “office”. After meeting the home owner, we began our assessment of the home and the electrical system. The panel i saw was a 2008 Eaton BR 100 amp service with an overhead connection. The panel did not show any signs of hazards besides not having a whole home surge protector and an inter system metallic bonding. After going over the home owners wants, we then addressed how we would replace current fixtures. We recommended on installing two flat panel LEDs to replace current 2 x 4 Fluorescent fixtures along with running a new switch and switch leg for the office area. After viewing the solutions, customer would like some time to address and talk it over, they will reach out if deciding to move forward.
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.
Great professioanl service. Alex, the technican, is an expert and provided outstanding work. If I have electrical need again, I will definitely use them again.
