Troubleshooting and Repair in Seattle, Washington — Done Right
Seattle homeowners call us for troubleshooting and repair when a breaker keeps tripping, an outlet goes dead, lights flicker, or an appliance gives a mild shock — symptoms that need a real diagnosis, not just a reset. Work is permitted through SDCI where required, and the power side is Seattle City Light.

In Seattle's older neighborhoods, these symptoms often trace to a loose neutral, an overloaded circuit, an aging breaker, or a hidden fault in old wiring. We carry the meters to trace faults methodically — checking voltage drop, neutral integrity, grounding, and circuit loading — and fix the cause at the source. You get a clear explanation of what we found and an upfront price for the repair.
For many Seattle homes, a repair visit also surfaces a deeper issue — an ungrounded circuit, an outdated panel — that we flag honestly so you can decide what to address and when. Most repairs are same-day.
Troubleshooting and Repair in Seattle — Your Questions
My Seattle breaker keeps tripping — is that dangerous?
It can be. The breaker is protecting the circuit, but the underlying cause — an overload, short, or ground fault — needs to be found and fixed. Repeatedly resetting it without fixing the fault is a fire risk. We diagnose and repair the actual cause.

"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!!"
