How does Mount Laguna's climate affect this service?

Cabin electrical, freeze-protection circuits, standby generator install, and wood-stove and chimney electrical are core work. Backcountry troubleshooting often involves utility supply issues: voltage sag, lost neutral on incoming service, lightning damage on rural properties in Alpine, Ramona, and Pine Valley.
How much does electrical troubleshooting cost?
Our diagnostic fee is credited toward the repair if you move forward. Most repairs (bad outlet, loose neutral, failed breaker) finish in the same visit and cost $185 to $575 flat rate. Hidden faults that need wall opening or attic work cost more; we'll tell you before we go down that path.
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
Three usual causes: too much load on the circuit (overload), a short circuit (hot touching neutral or ground), or a real ground fault. AFCI breakers can also trip on arc-fault detection, which is sometimes a real problem and sometimes nuisance. We diagnose which one it is, not just reset and hope.
