Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting
When something stops working — we find the root cause.
We specialize in difficult issues other electricians often misdiagnose.
When something stops working in your home — a breaker keeps tripping, a light flickers, or an outlet dies — it’s usually a symptom of a bigger underlying electrical issue. Gloudeman Electric specializes in troubleshooting and diagnosing complex residential electrical problems, especially in older homes common throughout Charleston and Mount Pleasant.
Our electricians are licensed, insured, and non-commission, meaning we are focused on fixing the actual problem, not upselling services you don’t need.
Expert Troubleshooting for Any Electrical Issue
We diagnose and repair all types of residential electrical problems, including:
Dead Outlets & Switches
Often caused by loose connections, backstabbed wiring, GFCI issues, tripped AFCI breakers, or hidden junction problems.
Flickering or Dimming Lights
This could indicate a failing neutral, loose connection, overloaded circuit, or dying fixture. We locate the exact cause and fix it safely.
Frequently Tripping Breakers
We investigate whether the breaker is faulty, overloaded, improperly sized, or connected to unsafe wiring.
GFCI / AFCI Problems
Outdated or improperly wired safety devices cause nuisance trips. We replace, rewire, or correct grounding and load issues.
Storm Damage & Power Outages
Coastal storms can cause water intrusion, corrosion, and short circuits. We inspect and repair storm-related electrical issues fast.
Burning Smell or Hot Outlets
This is an emergency sign of overheating wiring or a failing device — we respond quickly and correct the hazard.
Loose Connections & Open Neutrals
Loose terminations cause flickering, partial outages, or intermittent power issues. We identify and repair dangerous connections.
Three-Way Switch Failures
We correct traveler wiring, switch leg issues, and miswired circuits (common in DIY or older homes).
Breaker or Panel Issues
We address double taps, rust, corrosion, mislabeled breakers, and safety hazards that can causefires or insurance issues.
