How much do electrical repairs cost?

Accepted Answer

Electrical repair costs vary widely by issue. Simple repairs like outlet replacement run $100-$200, circuit breaker replacement $150-$300, and rewiring a room $500-$2,000. We provide upfront pricing after diagnosing the issue. Emergency service may include additional fees for after-hours response.

Question 2

How quickly can you respond to electrical repairs?

Accepted Answer

We offer same-day service for urgent repairs and 24/7 emergency response for dangerous situations like sparking outlets, burning smells, or power outages. For non-emergency repairs, we typically schedule within 1-2 business days. Emergency response times are typically under 2 hours. Call (253) 527-2777 for immediate assistance.

Question 3

What are signs I need electrical repairs?

Accepted Answer

Warning signs include: frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, outlets that don't work or spark, burning smells, discolored outlets or switches, buzzing sounds from outlets or panel, lights dimming when appliances run, and old or damaged wiring. Any of these issues should be inspected promptly. Contact Bright Knight Electric at (253) 527-2777 for an inspection.

Question 4

Can you diagnose electrical problems?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our licensed electricians use professional diagnostic tools including multimeters, circuit analyzers, and thermal imaging to accurately identify electrical issues. We provide detailed explanations of problems, repair options, and upfront pricing before starting any work.

Question 5

Do you repair aluminum wiring?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we specialize in aluminum wiring remediation. Common in homes built 1965-1973, aluminum wiring can be a fire hazard. We use approved COPALUM crimping or copper pigtailing methods, or full rewiring if needed. We'll assess your aluminum wiring and recommend the safest, most cost-effective solution.

Question 6

What electrical issues are emergencies?

Accepted Answer

Call us immediately for: sparking outlets or switches, burning smell from outlets/panel, outlets or switches hot to touch, exposed wiring, water near electrical components, complete power loss (if not a utility issue), breaker that won't reset, or smoke from electrical devices. These pose immediate fire or shock risks. Emergency line: (253) 527-2777.

Question 7

Do you offer warranties on electrical repairs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all our electrical repair work comes with a warranty on labor and materials. Specific warranty terms depend on the type of repair. We guarantee all work meets Washington electrical code and will pass any required inspections.

Question 8

Can you repair or replace old outlets and switches?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we replace worn, damaged, or outdated outlets and switches. We can upgrade to GFCI outlets in bathrooms and kitchens, AFCI protection in bedrooms, USB outlets, tamper-resistant outlets for child safety, and smart switches. We ensure all replacements meet current code requirements.

Question 9

Why do my lights flicker?

Accepted Answer

Flickering lights can indicate: loose bulbs (easy fix), loose wiring connections (safety hazard), overloaded circuits, voltage fluctuations, or problems with the utility service. Occasional flickering when large appliances start is normal, but persistent flickering needs professional diagnosis to rule out dangerous wiring issues.

Question 10

Do I need a permit for electrical repairs?

Accepted Answer

Major repairs like rewiring, panel work, or adding circuits require permits in Washington. Minor repairs like replacing outlets or switches typically don't. We determine permit requirements and handle all necessary applications and inspections to ensure your repairs are code-compliant and properly documented.
