Signs include intermittent power loss in parts of your home or tripped breakers without an obvious cause. RX Electric specializes in diagnosing and repairing underground wire damage. We can locate the fault, perform the necessary wire repair or replacement, and ensure your underground service is restored safely and reliably.

The most critical upgrade is often the electric panel and its circuit breakers. An outdated panel is a common root cause of both meter overheating and vulnerability to damage from other faults. Upgrading to a modern panel with new circuit breakers provides safer, more stable power distribution, reduces fire risk, and gives your home the capacity for additions like EV chargers or generators. It's a foundational repair that enhances safety for your entire electrical system.
