How We Work

Our Electrical Troubleshooting Process

We follow a structured diagnostic process to find the root cause of your electrical issue — not just a temporary fix.

01Step 1

Initial Assessment

We speak with you about the symptoms you've noticed, review the affected areas, and gather the context needed to plan an accurate diagnosis.

02Step 2

Systematic Diagnosis

Our electricians use professional testing equipment to trace the fault through your wiring, panel, and connected devices, isolating the exact source of the problem.

03Step 3

Clear Explanation

Before any repair work begins, we walk you through what we found and what it will take to resolve it — no surprises, no jargon.

04Step 4

Repair and Verification

We complete the necessary repairs to code, then retest the affected circuits and components to confirm everything is functioning safely and correctly.

Frequently asked

Electrical Troubleshooting Questions Answered

Common questions get answered quickly so the page feels more trustworthy before someone reaches out.

Q1

How do I know if I need electrical troubleshooting?

Common signs include breakers that trip repeatedly, outlets that stop working, lights that flicker without explanation, or any burning smell near electrical components. If something seems off with your electrical system, it's worth having a licensed electrician take a look.

Q2

Is a tripping breaker always a serious problem?

Not always, but it should not be ignored. Repeated tripping can point to an overloaded circuit, a wiring fault, or a failing breaker. Our team can determine the cause and let you know whether a simple fix or a more involved repair is needed.

Q3

Can you troubleshoot both homes and commercial buildings?

Yes. Matthews Lighting and Electric handles electrical troubleshooting for residential properties and commercial clients throughout Rome, GA, Calhoun, Lindale, Cartersville, and surrounding communities.

Q4

What if the problem is inside my electrical panel?

Panel-related issues are something our electricians handle regularly. If troubleshooting reveals a fault within the panel itself, we will explain your options, which may include repair or a panel upgrade depending on the condition and age of your equipment.

Q5

How long does an electrical troubleshooting visit typically take?

It depends on the complexity of the issue. Some problems are identified and resolved in a single visit, while others involving hidden wiring or multiple symptoms may require more time. We aim to be efficient without cutting corners on accuracy.

Q6

Do you handle troubleshooting after a power surge or storm?

Yes. Power surges and storm-related electrical events can damage wiring, outlets, and equipment. We assess the scope of the damage and address any safety concerns before restoring full functionality to your electrical system.

Q7

Should I try to fix the electrical issue myself first?

Electrical faults can be hazardous if handled without proper training and tools. Attempting DIY repairs on live circuits risks shock, fire, or code violations. We recommend contacting a licensed electrician to evaluate the problem safely.

Q8

Do you serve areas outside Rome, GA?

Yes. In addition to Rome, we provide electrical troubleshooting services to clients in Calhoun, Lindale, Coosa, Cartersville, Lyerly, and other communities throughout the region.
