Metairie Electrician Resolves Home Power Outage with Expert Troubleshooting and Electrical Wiring Repairs

Initial Call from a Homeowner in Metairie, LA.

A recent customer in Metairie, LA, has called in after several rooms of their home took an unexpected power outage in the form of electricity. Initially, the lights started to flicker randomly, which was then succeeded by a series of circuit breakers tripping, after which numerous lights and switches stopped working. These combined symptoms meant an escalating electrical problem crying out for immediate attention by a licensed Metairie electrician.

Diagnosing the Electrical Issues

Our team instantly investigated the home's electrical configuration in-depth once we arrived. We started by looking at the circuit breaker panel. This system seemed to be well put together at first glance, but when we tested each breaker and circuit, the anomalies of the power readings emerged, revealing the root problems. We observed that in some circuits the voltage was low, and we also found others tripping when there were even light loads, indicating faulty wiring.

Having this knowledge, we went into the attic and carefully traced the electrical lines to problem areas. In fact, we found several lengths of aged Romex wiring with internal shorts probably caused by heat over the years, wear and tear, or compression by insulation and framing. These old wires were the reason for frequent outages and the general unreliability in the electrical system.

Replacing Faulty Wiring and Restoring Power

The bad Romex wiring in the attic was our first thing to be addressed, so we took it out immediately. The process was done carefully to protect other equipment, such as the HVAC and insulation. We went ahead and removed the old wiring and filtered it through new cables that complied with all of today's electrical code. We ensured the house could accommodate its power needs with safer and better wiring without overheating or breaking down.

Our work will not be a knee-jerk solution, a preventive upgrade that will minimize the risk of electrical complications and safeguard the home's safety in the long term.

Installing Power to Hallway Lights and Wall Switches

We solved lighting issues by replacing wiring in the attic, which provided electricity to the hallway fixtures and the relevant switches. This involved:

• Installing new electric cables into the attic structure.

• Wiring sealing through the walls for switch installation

• Installation of additional wall switches for greater ease of use

• Constituting support systems for the new light fixtures

With these adjustments, we ensured that the lighting system functioned properly and was also safe.

Final Testing and Customer Satisfaction

To verify that the job was completed, we conducted a complete verification of the entire repaired circuit system. We measured the voltage at each switch and fixture, and everything was working fine. It was bright, unbalancing, unwavering, consistent, pure, solid, reliable electricity.

We ensured the homeowner was made aware of the underlying cause of the problem, what needs to be looked out for in case of potential future issues from flickering lights/warm outlets, and professional troubleshooting for ongoing circuit problems. With awareness that everything was safely restored, the customer was greatly grateful and relieved.
