Electrical Diagnostics & Troubleshooting

Need Electrical Troubleshooting? 

Not every electrical problem can be accurately estimated by phone.

Many electrical problems require professional diagnostic testing before the cause can be identified.

If you’re experiencing intermittent power loss, nuisance breaker trips, equipment failures, EV charger issues, storm or lightning damage, or other electrical problems with an unknown cause, our Master Electrician will perform a comprehensive on-site diagnostic to identify the issue before recommending repairs.

Professional electrical diagnostics including:

  • Lightning and surge damage assessment

  • EV charger diagnostics

  • Breaker and circuit troubleshooting

  • Intermittent electrical problems

  • Electrical equipment failures

  • Loss of power (partial or full)

  • Dedicated circuit troubleshooting

  • General electrical diagnostics

  • Dead outlets
  • Flickering lights
  • Breakers that won’t reset
  • Burning smells
  • GFCI problems

Once the cause has been identified, we’ll explain our findings, answer your questions, and provide repair options before any additional work is performed. Learn more.

Carl was so professional and nice and helped us out of a serious jam. We had prior work done by another company and things stopped working and fixtures fell off the wall. Carl came and explained everything as he adjusted it and was honest with his feedback of how I could improve things that weren’t working in the future. But there was no need because he addressed and helped me understand everything! He spoke to me like I was a person and broke it down exactly what he was doing and feeling in the know. It honestly felt like a good friend was fixing it for us and even stayed to look at a few other things I had concerns about but that he didn’t push me on. It was refreshing since the last company kept upping the price for unnecessary changes which stopped working after 6 months!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

We had a heavy‑up and panel switch completed by CK Electric about two years ago. At the time of the installation, the weather was mild. When the work was finished, the electricity on our upper floor did not function at all. CK Electric returned and corrected the issue, and because the weather was still mild, we believed the problem had been fully resolved. However, once we experienced bad weather after that, the same issue reappeared: most of the electricity upstairs would fail during storms or heavy rain. When we contacted CK Electric about these recurring outages, they told us the problem was due to old wiring or outlets in our home. To better understand the situation, we had a Pepco technician come out and assess it. He told us the wiring appeared to be in good condition and that the issue was likely related to the panel work rather than the age of our outlets or wiring. We relayed this to CK Electric, and they said they would follow up, but we never heard back. We remain disappointed that weather continues to affect our upstairs electricity and that the issue from the original work still hasn’t been resolved.

CK Electric has been my go to for electrical installation and repairs for about 4 years. All work done to code- no short cuts. Honest people, nice to work with and reasonable pricing. Truly, we get what we pay for: reliability, accuracy and courtesy. Highly recommended!

As always, Carl was prepared for the problem per my original message and handled the repairs expeditiously. He also educated me on possible related electrical issues. It’s definitely a positive experience when Carl arrives for the rescue.

From setting up the estimate to completion of work and invoicing, my experience with CK Electric has been top notch. Carl came out and estimated several line items of work to be done. His estimate was provided in clear terminology via email and the software he uses allows to request changes and/or approve the estimate then and there. I received helpful reminders the week before the scheduled work. To my surprise (I really shouldn't have been surprised with all their recommendations...) the electricians showed up on time as scheduled even though they throw in the caveat of a 3-hour start window. Ross and Brandon performed installation of recessed lights, smart switches, and switch legs across three rooms in my house. I really appreciated their friendly demeanor and willingness to go above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied with the plan before starting the work. They worked neatly, covered surfaces with drop clothes, and even offered to mop at the end of the day. In hindsight I should have taken them up on the offer but my wife sold me out and told them I'd do it! Throughout the project any questions were not left hanging. I had an answer for everything within a day of my asking. They were not the lowest estimate I'd received for the work (I got four estimates), but the number of people recommending them made the decision easy. My only regret is that I didn't hire them sooner for other projects! If you're considering an electrician's services, you'd do right to have Carl and crew give you an estimate. Thanks, CK crew!

When Bitcoin was introduced by Satoshi people were largely ignorant of the harmful side effects of it not until it becomes the most popular digital marketing currency and with Bitcoin I was able to invest on a good broker website and with that I can make thousands of money trading Bitcoin after mining successfully by an Expert trader called Kathrine.I’ve used my $1000 to earn $11,000 with Kathrine,and you can get in touch with her website details for contacting her on Whatsapp: +12523688769 Gmail:kathrinelucas170@gmail.com

WOW! What a FANTASTIC experience! I messaged CK Electric to set up an appointment and it was promptly returned. Carl and Craig came out within the week and gave us a quote. I thought that as a master electrician, he would charge more! But it was actually less than the other quotes we received. We set up a time for them to come out and do the work and they were punctual and tidy! Didn't leave a mess at all. On top of that, they noticed an odd smell in our kids play area. They checked it out to find wire connectors on a heater had been installed incorrectly by a contractor during a remodel. The connectors had melted and been burning through. He took care of that for us as well! We are beyond thrilled with Carl & CK Electric's responsiveness, timeliness, punctuality, skill, and professionalism. We have found the electrician!!!

Carl was professional, courteous, and did a wonderful job of wiring our newly constructed bathroom and closet area. His price was reasonable and he was available without a lot of delay.

Nancy and Carl are great to work with. I am a local HVAC contractor and had been searching for a reliable electrician to work with on our jobs. Ck Electric goes over and above. They genuinely take pride in their work and satisfying their customers. We will be using them as our preferred electrical contractor and happily recommend them to our clients.

So much I could say about Carl, and his wife Nancy. First and foremost, amazing people. Carl is absolutely exceptional at what he does. His knowledge, passion, great work, and attention to detail in the electrical field is unmatched. And he is a great communicator, and dependable as well. Not only has he done a lot of work for me in my home, he has also served many clients of mine- who all rave about him. Let Carl take care of all your electrical needs! You will be very happy you did.
