Troubleshooting & Repairs
Flickering lights, dead outlets, breakers that will not stay set — we trace the fault to its source and fix the cause, not the symptom.
Most electrical problems announce themselves long before they become dangerous. A breaker that trips every few days, an outlet that runs warm, lights that dim when the microwave starts — each one is a symptom of something specific, and each one is traceable.
We diagnose before we quote. That means metering the circuit, checking terminations, and finding the actual fault rather than replacing parts until the symptom disappears. You get told what was wrong, what it took to fix, and what it cost.
What this covers
- Flickering or dimming lights
- Dead or intermittent outlets and switches
- Breakers that trip repeatedly
- Warm outlets, scorch marks, or burning smells
- Partial power loss after a storm or outage

Common questions
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — All Covered Electric holds California contractor license #1133116 and is fully insured. You are welcome to verify the license with the CSLB before we start.
Do you charge for estimates?
No. Estimates are free. We will look at the job, tell you what it needs, and give you a number before any work begins.
How fast can you get here in an emergency?
We offer 24/7 emergency service across Sonoma County. Call (707) 339-0691. If something is actively sparking, arcing, or burning, shut off the breaker if you can do so safely — and if the situation is dangerous, call 911 first.
Do I need a panel upgrade before installing an EV charger?
Sometimes, and it depends entirely on your existing service and what else it is running. An EV charger is a large sustained load. We evaluate your capacity before quoting, and we will tell you if your panel can already handle it.
