Electrical repair & troubleshooting
Dead outlets, tripping breakers, flickering lights and switches that quit working. A qualified Tenz electrician finds the real cause and fixes it right the first time — with same day service for most electrical needs in Asheville, Hendersonville and surrounding communities.
What we handle
Most electrical problems show up as a symptom somewhere else in the house. We trace the symptom back to its source, explain what we found in plain English and give you a price before any repair begins.
Outlets that are dead, loose, warm to the touch or spark when you plug something in, and switches that buzz, flicker or do nothing at all. We find out whether the problem is the device, the connection behind it or the circuit feeding it, and repair what is actually wrong.
A tripping breaker is doing its job: telling you something on that circuit isn't right. We diagnose whether it's an overloaded circuit, a failing device, a wiring fault or a worn breaker, then walk you through the fix and the price before we start.
Lights that flicker, dim when an appliance starts, or behave differently from room to room can point to loose connections, an overloaded circuit or a problem at the panel. We test until we find the source instead of swapping bulbs and hoping.
When part of the house loses power and resetting the breaker doesn't bring it back, we track the circuit to the open connection or failed component and restore it safely.
Wiring left behind by a previous owner or an unpermitted project that doesn't meet code. We correct it properly so your home is safer and the work is done the way it should have been the first time.

Questions
Still unsure? Call our Arden office and we'll walk you through it in plain English.
Usually one of three things: too much load on the circuit, a fault in a device or appliance, or a wiring problem such as a loose or damaged connection. Repeated tripping is a warning, not a nuisance — the cause should be found rather than the breaker reset again and again.
A loose bulb or a dimmer that doesn't match the bulb are the simple causes. If flickering happens in several rooms, or when large appliances start, it can point to loose connections or a circuit or panel problem that should be checked by a qualified electrician.
It can be. Heat and buzzing usually mean a loose connection or a failing device, both of which can damage wiring over time. Stop using the outlet and have it checked. If you see scorching or smell burning, turn off that circuit's breaker if it's safe to do so and call us.
