Electrical Repair & Troubleshooting in Seattle & Shoreline
Diagnose tripping breakers, dead outlets, flickering lights, and shock hazards.
A breaker that keeps tripping, an outlet that's dead, lights that flicker, or a mild shock from an appliance are all symptoms — not the problem. We diagnose the actual cause, whether it's a loose neutral, a failing breaker, an overloaded circuit, or a hidden fault, and fix it at the source rather than just resetting things.
We carry the meters and test equipment to trace faults methodically: checking voltage drop, neutral integrity, grounding, and circuit loading. You get a clear explanation of what we found, what it'll take to fix it, and what's safe to leave alone versus what should be addressed now.
Most repairs are same-day. For older homes, a repair visit often uncovers a deeper issue (an ungrounded circuit, an outdated panel) — we'll flag it honestly and let you decide what to do next.

Troubleshooting and Repair — Your Questions Answered
My breaker keeps tripping — is that dangerous?
It can be. A tripping breaker is doing its job by protecting the circuit, but the cause — an overload, a short, or a ground fault — needs to be found and fixed. Repeatedly resetting it without fixing the underlying fault is a fire risk. We diagnose and repair the actual cause.
Do you charge to diagnose a problem?
We charge a service call to come out and diagnose, and that time goes toward the repair if you have us do the work. You'll always get a clear explanation and upfront price for the repair before we proceed.
Why do my lights flicker?
Flickering can come from a loose connection, a loose neutral, an overloaded circuit, or a failing breaker. We trace the cause with the right test equipment and fix it at the source rather than ignoring the symptom.
Can you find why an outlet is dead?
Yes. We trace the circuit — checking the breaker, the connections, and any downstream GFCI — to find why the outlet is dead and repair the actual cause rather than just replacing the device.
Is an ungrounded outlet dangerous?
It can be — ungrounded outlets don't protect you or your devices from faults the way grounded, GFCI-protected circuits do. We assess the wiring and either re-run grounded cable or install code-compliant GFCI protection.
Do you offer same-day repair service?
Most repairs are same-day. For older homes, a repair visit often uncovers a deeper issue — an ungrounded circuit or an outdated panel — which we flag honestly so you can decide what to address and when.

"I had an incredible experience getting service done from All City Electric. I wanted to have some outlets fixed as well as install a Level 2 Charger. They were easy to schedule a time for an estimate and also for the service. The electrician came right on time for both appointments and was very respectful and sweet. Every team member was very kind and sweet and accommodating. I would highly recommend them for any future service needs you have!"

"I called All City Electric when my laundry room and living room lights would not turn off. If you tried to turn them off they flicker. Then 5 of my outlets either didn't work or things would fall out of them. I finally got sick of it and reached out explaining my situation. The gal that answered my call was very sweet and kind. Even when I called back the next day saying I forgot to write it down and wanted to confirm my appointment day and time. We had a good laugh. She made my day! Today, Kevin showed up on time and confirmed the problem and got to work right away. He was pleasant and kind during the entire process. He answered all my questions. Thank you to the entire staff and owner of All City Electric!! You will forever have my business. Please call if you have any issues. They are absolutely the best to work with!! Thank you again!!"
