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. We can also check for fuses in older homes and help you obtain a permit for major work. 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, or a multimeter which we calibrate regularly, 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. We use tools like pliers and wire strippers to get the job done right. We can troubleshoot and test your main circuit breaker box to see if there are any issues with the breakers or wiring, and make sure everything is properly grounded. We also handle generators and transformers. We splice and terminate all wires with precision.
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. Our services are specialized to connect all your appliances, and we also maintain your system to ensure everything is in proper working order. Our affordable prices make it easy to get the work you need done. We will also mount all new fixtures and fans.
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 today’s visit was to look at adding an additional outlet in the garage for an electric bike. After inspection of the bike I found that it draws 10 A. There is an existing treadmill next to it that is plugged into the existing outlet. These two piece equipment are too strong to run on the same circuit at the same time.

Replace bad arc fault breaker Reason for todays visit was to restore power to the basement bar area circuit feeding the mini fridge and the dishwasher. After troubleshooting the the breaker we found that the self test feature inside of the breaker had failed causing the breaker to randomly trip. We replaced the breaker with a new BR series duel function breaker and power was restored.
Reasoning for call was to install a new car charger. We ran a new dedicated 60 amp circuit from the main panel over to the concrete wall and installed the junction box. We ran new line in a liquid tight raceway to help avoid damage to the line. Panel is a 200 amp home line series (installed 2004) in excellent condition. We also installed a new surge protector to protect unit as well as other equipment in the home. 11/21 We returned today and installed customer supplied charger. Once installed we tested power and everything checked out properly.
Reasoning for call was to fix foyer lights that wouldn’t shut off. When I arrived I found that the foyer light was on 3-way levinton smart switches. The main smart switch had gone bad not allowing it to shut off. Customer stated she didn’t want them and to put standard switches back in. While on site customer also stated she wanted some way to light up the stairwell to the basement for cats without the lights always being on. Her first thought was an occupancy sensor. I explained that it most likely wouldn’t pick them up being how small they are. The next solution was to put an outlet on the landing so she could plug in a nightlight. We replaced the smart switches in the foyer with standard decor style switches to remedy the 1st issue. We ran a new wire from the basement lighting circuit (arc fault protected) over to he basement landing and installed a new tamper resistant receptacle. Once installed we tested out outlet and switches and they all worked properly.
