Calhoun Electric - Escondido's Trusted Electricians

Yes, that's a very common issue here in Escondido, often caused by moisture-sensitive GFCI outlets wearing out or faulty installation. Our electricians will first perform a thorough electrical inspection to diagnose the exact cause. We then repair or replace the GFCI outlet with a new, weather-resistant model, ensuring it's properly wired to protect your home from ground faults and meets current safety codes.

Aluminum wiring, common in many Escondido homes built in the 60s and 70s, can be a serious fire hazard due to corrosion and loose connections. For safety, we don't recommend simple repairs. Calhoun Electric specializes in safe solutions like installing COPALUM crimp connectors or, for the most permanent fix, a partial or full re-wire with modern copper wiring. Our installation or replacement services will bring your home's electrical system up to current safety standards.
