Flickering and Dimming Lights

Flickering or dimming lights are often a symptom of a deeper electrical problem. It could be a sign of a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or a problem with your main electrical service. Our electricians will perform a thorough diagnostic to pinpoint the cause of the issue and provide a lasting solution. Ignoring flickering lights can lead to more significant problems, so it is always best to have them inspected by a professional.

Faulty Outlets and Switches

A dead outlet or a switch that does not work can be frustrating, but it can also be a sign of a more serious issue, such as a loose wire or a faulty connection. Our team can quickly and safely repair or replace outlets and switches, ensuring that you have reliable access to power throughout your home. We can also upgrade your outlets to GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets in areas like kitchens and bathrooms for enhanced safety.

Circuit Breaker and Panel Issues

If your circuit breaker trips frequently, it is a clear indication that your electrical system is overloaded. This can be a fire hazard and should be addressed immediately. Our electricians can assess your circuit breaker panel, identify the cause of the issue, and perform the necessary repairs or upgrades. In some cases, a full panel upgrade may be necessary to accommodate the electrical demands of a modern home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Electrical Repairs

What are the most common signs that I need an electrical repair?

Common signs include flickering or dimming lights, outlets or switches that are warm to the touch, a burning smell coming from an outlet, or circuit breakers that trip frequently. If you notice any of these signs, it is important to call a licensed electrician right away.

Is it safe to attempt my own electrical repairs?

Due to the inherent risks of electric shock and fire, we strongly advise against DIY electrical repairs. Always hire a licensed and insured electrician to ensure the work is done safely and up to code.

How can I prevent the need for frequent electrical repairs?

Regular electrical safety inspections can help identify potential issues before they become major problems. Additionally, avoiding the use of multiple extension cords and power strips can help prevent overloading your circuits.

What should I do in an electrical emergency?

In the event of an electrical emergency, such as a fire or a sparking outlet, your first priority is to ensure your safety. If possible, shut off the power to the affected area at the circuit breaker panel. Then, call a licensed electrician for immediate assistance. Holt offers 24/7 emergency electrical services.

How do I know if my home’s wiring is outdated?

If your home was built before 1970, it may have outdated wiring, such as aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring. Other signs of outdated wiring include having only two-pronged outlets, frequent blown fuses, or a lack of GFCI outlets. An electrical inspection can determine if your wiring needs to be updated.

"I highly recommend Holt! I needed my water heater replaced, and they came out and took the time to discuss all of my options and to make sure that I fully understood everything about the project. They did quality work, with all of the plumbing in traditional copper. That was important to me because I didn't want any of that PEX in my home! My entire basement looks cleaner and tidier because of the work they did! I was also very impressed that they didn't talk down to me as a woman. I like to do my own appliance maintenance and repairs when possible, and they respected my desire to understand everything about the installation and the prospective maintenance into the future."

"Holt heating and air conditioning installed our heating and air conditioning system and now we have the maintenance program with them. All the different people we'd have had out to do the semi annual maintenance have been courteous and professional in there attire and speaking to us. I would use them for other services in a heartbeat."

"Looking for a no fluff, no BS review of Holt? I got you... Over the past 15 years I've been a home owner, We've tried more companies that I could count. Lots of shady businesses out there... We were coming of a brand new HVAC installation just two years ago and the previous company completely botched it. It had problems within a month of installation and they were completely MIA. We ran it as long as we could to try and recoup the some cost, but it was a constant worry. Decided to give Holt a chance and we're so glad we did! Yes, they were more expensive, but it's the classic "you get what you pay for". 100% worth it! It's so hard to find a company that has the perfect mix of quality, punctuality, and honesty and Holt nails it. I genuinely appreciate their level of service and will pay a bit more to have someone I have the utmost confidence in doing the right thing. You should definitely give them a look if you need heating, cooling, or plumbing work."
