What Our Customers Say
quality
“Solved outlet and switch problems no one else could. Great company, highly recommend.”
professionalism
“They added GFCI outlets to meet code and fixed a short. Friendly and knowledgeable.”
speed
“She traced a tricky GFCI trip through the house and fixed it fast, after hours.”
A GFCI trips because it detects a problem that could cause shock or fire, even if nothing is plugged in. Press the outlet’s Reset button or flip the circuit breaker back on. If it trips again, have an electrician diagnose the cause. GFCIs are often installed in bathrooms, kitchens, and other wet locations for safety. Our team installs, tests, and repairs GFCIs and related outlet/switch issues in Alexandria and nearby areas.
- Press Reset or flip the breaker on.
- If it trips again, stop resetting and call us.
- Note GFCIs in bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor/wet areas.

Outlet repair pricing depends on the fault, access, and any parts needed. A licensed technician will diagnose first and give you upfront options before work begins. New customers can use $50 off any repair or installation. Absolute Family Plan members receive special pricing, a 2-year warranty on repairs recommended by our technician, and a 5-year warranty on installations. If a GFCI or breaker keeps tripping after you reset it, schedule service so we can find the root cause.

You can replace a basic light switch yourself if power is fully off and the wiring is intact. If you notice sparking, buzzing, a burning odor, or frequent breaker trips, stop and call an electrician. GFCI and AFCI devices reduce shock and fire risks; repeated trips need diagnosis, not just resets. We service outlet and switch repairs in Arlington and Reston.
- Turn off the breaker. Verify no power with a tester.
- Label wires. Move them to the same terminals on the new switch.
- Secure box, install cover, restore power, and test.

You can, but we recommend using a licensed electrician to ensure safety and code‑compliant GFCI/AFCI protection. GFCI outlets are required in bathrooms, kitchens, and other wet areas, and repeated trips signal a problem that needs diagnosis. Our team installs and repairs outlets and switches, tests GFCI/AFCI, and resolves tripping, buzzing, or sparking issues. Members get a 5‑year warranty on installations and a 2-year warranty on repairs recommended by our technician.
Quick checks:
- Press the GFCI reset or flip the breaker on.
- If it trips again, call an electrician immediately.
- Stop if you smell burning or see sparks.

You can replace a GFCI yourself, but the safest, code‑correct approach is to have an electrician install and test it. Many local codes require GFCIs in bathrooms, kitchens, and other wet areas. The device must be wired on the correct line/load terminals and tested to prevent shock. If a GFCI or breaker trips again after you reset it, call an electrician. We install and test GFCIs in Alexandria and Arlington.
Quick checks:
- Press the GFCI Reset button once.
- If it trips again, stop and call.
