Everyday electrical help
Most calls start with something that stopped working: a breaker, an outlet, a light. The fix starts with finding the cause, so the problem doesn't come back.

Updating older homes
Older homes benefit from GFCI protection, grounded circuits and modern panels. An inspection helps prioritize.
240-volt appliance circuits
Ranges, dryers and water heaters run on 240-volt circuits. When a dryer won't heat or a range burner won't come on, the cause may be the appliance — or it may be a failed breaker, a loose connection at the receptacle, or a burned cord end. Older homes may still have three-wire dryer and range connections; new appliances often need a four-wire setup.
An electrician can test the circuit and receptacle and tell you whether the problem is on the electrical side.
Near the river and lake
Homes close to the water deal with humidity and occasional high water. Keep exterior outlets on weather-resistant GFCIs with in-use covers, and have anything that got wet inspected before it's used.

Newer installations generally use four-wire circuits. Whether an existing three-wire setup can remain depends on the situation; an electrician can advise.
Yes. An inspection identifies safety priorities, from grounding to panel condition.
