Troubleshooting Electrical Issues: Finding the Source of the Problem

When your lights flicker or an outlet stops working, it’s easy to feel frustrated — but those small issues can often point to bigger electrical problems hiding behind your walls. At Evergreen Electric, we specialize in professional electrical troubleshooting, helping homeowners across Marietta, Kennesaw, and Metro Atlanta quickly and safely find the cause of the problem.

Electrical troubleshooting is the process of identifying, diagnosing, and repairing electrical issues within your home’s system. Instead of guessing what’s wrong, a licensed electrician uses tools and training to safely trace the issue back to its source — whether it’s a loose connection, faulty device, or circuit overload.

Common troubleshooting calls we handle include:
  • Lights flickering or dimming unexpectedly
  • Outlets or switches that don’t work
  • Breakers that keep tripping
  • Burning smells or warm wall plates
  • Power loss in one part of the home
  • Buzzing sounds from fixtures or panels

Even new homes aren’t immune—quick, low-cost electrical work can sometimes lead to dangerous shortcuts.

While it might be tempting to reset a breaker or swap out a switch yourself, electrical issues often run deeper than they appear. Professional troubleshooting ensures your home stays safe and up to code. Our team at Evergreen Electric uses advanced testing equipment and deep knowledge of wiring systems to:

  • Prevent recurring issues and future damage
  • Catch potential fire hazards early
  • Identify code violations from previous work
  • Provide long-term, safe solutions — not quick fixes

We pride ourselves on finding the real root cause, not just treating the symptoms.
