Shisler Electrical Contractors - Ithaca's Experienced Electrical Company

Our thorough electrical inspection assesses the safety and functionality of your home's entire system. We check your breaker panel for proper load capacity, test all outlets (including GFCIs in kitchens and bathrooms), examine wiring for wear or damage, and verify that all work meets current National Electrical Code (NEC) and local Ithaca standards. This proactive check helps identify potential hazards like overloaded circuits or outdated components before they cause problems.

Frequent breaker trips in Ithaca homes are often a sign of an overloaded panel or a faulty circuit, common in older homes with updated appliances. We recommend avoiding simply resetting the breaker repeatedly, as this can be a fire risk. Our electricians will diagnose the root cause, which could involve redistributing the electrical load, upgrading specific circuits, or recommending a full panel upgrade to safely meet your home's modern power demands.

Absolutely. GFCI outlets in bathrooms, kitchens, and garages are crucial for preventing shocks, and a failure to reset is a common issue for Ithaca homeowners. This can indicate a faulty outlet, a wiring problem elsewhere on the same circuit, or moisture intrusion. Our electricians will troubleshoot the specific circuit, replace the malfunctioning GFCI if needed, and ensure the entire protected circuit is functioning safely to restore your home's protection.
