Common electrical problems
Describe what's happening when you're connected. The provider will tell you whether it's something they handle and what the next step is.
Tripping breakers
A circuit that shuts off again and again, often when a particular appliance runs.
Dead or warm outlets
Outlets that stopped working, feel warm to the touch, or show scorch marks.
Flickering or dimming lights
Lights that flicker in several rooms, or dim when the AC or a large appliance starts.
Panel upgrades
Older or undersized panels that can't support new appliances, a remodel or EV charging.
Lighting and fans
Ceiling fans, recessed lighting, fixture replacement and outdoor lighting.
EV chargers and new circuits
Level 2 chargers and dedicated circuits for ranges, dryers, hot tubs and workshops.
Stay safe while you wait
- Unplug devices on the affected circuit.
- If an outlet or switch is hot, sparking or smells like burning, turn that circuit off at the breaker panel if you can reach it safely.
- Don't keep resetting a breaker that trips immediately. That's a sign of a fault that needs a professional.
- Keep children and pets away from damaged cords, outlets or exposed wiring.
Safety first: If you see smoke or flames, get everyone out and call 911. Stay well away from downed power lines and report them to your utility.
Choosing a provider with confidence
Hire a licensed electrician
Most states require electricians to be licensed. Verify the license with your state or local licensing agency.
Ask about permits
Panel changes, new circuits and EV chargers usually need a permit and inspection.
Clarify fees
Ask about service-call fees, hourly versus flat-rate pricing, and after-hours rates.
Get warranty terms
Ask how long the workmanship is guaranteed and what happens if the problem returns.
Frequently asked questions
Who will I be speaking with?
Your call is routed to an independent electrical provider that participates in our network and serves your area. KBHomeFix doesn't employ technicians or perform any work.
Does it cost anything to call?
No. Calling our referral line is free. Participating providers, or the call networks that represent them, pay us a marketing fee for connected calls. Any charge for work, diagnostics or visits comes from the provider, so ask about pricing first.
Is a flickering light dangerous?
One flickering bulb is often just a loose or failing bulb. Flickering across several rooms can point to a wiring or service issue worth having checked.
Can I install an EV charger myself?
A Level 2 charger needs a 240-volt circuit and usually a permit. Most homeowners hire a licensed electrician for it.
Do providers handle generator hookups?
Some do, including transfer switches and interlock kits. Ask when you are connected.
