Have you noticed flickering lights, warm switch plates, or a circuit breaker that trips every time you use the microwave?

You should never have to take chances with your home’s infrastructure, so we encourage you to protect your peace of mind and reach out to us to request an estimate or book a professional repair today.
Electrical systems are mostly hidden behind your drywall, which means problems can quietly develop out of sight. However, your system will usually offer clear physical warnings when components begin to fail. Recognizing these red flags can prevent minor inconveniences from turning into hazardous situations.
If you observe any of the following warning signs around your property, it is time to call in a professional:
When an issue arises, our certified technicians are ready to provide elite electrical repair services designed to pinpoint the root cause of the problem. We do not believe in superficial, band-aid fixes that leave your underlying infrastructure vulnerable. Our experts use advanced diagnostic equipment to test your circuits, evaluate your grounding systems, and safely inspect your hidden connections.
We handle a comprehensive array of everyday residential projects, including repairing dead outlets, fixing broken light switches, correcting improper DIY wiring, and resetting faulty GFCI receptacles. Our service vehicles are fully stocked with high-grade, code-compliant components, allowing us to complete the vast majority of standard household repairs during our very first visit. We maintain an open, transparent process, which means we will always walk you through our findings and present clear, upfront pricing before any work begins.
Our local communities are famous for their beautiful historic architecture, spanning centuries of classic design. However, these older properties also feature specialized electrical infrastructure that was never engineered to support the heavy power demands of a modern 21st-century household. Running computers, high-definition televisions, multi-zone HVAC units, and electric vehicle chargers simultaneously can completely overwhelm an aging electrical system.
Our team specializes in upgrading these older systems to modern safety standards. We safely remove dangerous, obsolete configurations such as knob-and-tube wiring or ungrounded aluminum wiring and replace them with reliable, modern copper alternatives. We also specialize in heavy-up panel upgrades, transforming outdated 60-amp or 100-amp fuse boxes into high-capacity 200-amp breaker panels. These strategic infrastructure upgrades not only eliminate annoying safety hazards and power dips but also significantly increase your property’s value and ensure your home remains compliant with current National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines.
Treat this as an absolute emergency. Turn off the power to that specific room at your main breaker panel immediately if it is safe to approach, unplug any devices connected to the outlet, and clear the area. Once you have removed the immediate power source, contact us right away for an emergency electrical repair dispatch to eliminate the risk of fire.
When large appliances like air conditioners or refrigerators start up, they require a brief surge of electrical current. If your lights dim momentarily when this happens, it usually means your appliances are sharing a circuit with your lighting, or your main electrical panel cannot distribute power efficiently. Installing a dedicated circuit for your larger appliances can easily resolve this issue.
While replacing a switch may seem simple, working with live electrical wiring carries a real risk of severe shock, arc flash, or future fire hazards if connections are not tightened to exact torque specifications. Hiring a licensed, insured electrician ensures the repair is performed safely, correctly, and in accordance with strict local building codes.
Yes, we do. If you are looking to heat and cool a specific zone in your home or want an alternative to a bulky traditional system, we offer professional ductless mini-split installation services. These systems are highly efficient, whisper-quiet, and allow you to control the temperature of individual rooms with ease.
We recommend having a professional technician inspect your main electrical panel and grounding system at least once every three to five years. Regular preventative check-ups allow us to find loose terminal screws, look for signs of thermal stress, and replace aging breakers before they fail completely.
You shouldn’t have to worry about the hidden infrastructure powering your daily life. At GEN3 Electric & HVAC, we are completely dedicated to taking the stress and confusion out of keeping your property safe. Our team is fully licensed, insured, and deeply experienced in repairing a wide range of electrical components, from basic receptacles, dimmers, and ceiling fans to main service panels, structural rewiring, and smart home automation systems.
