Dead Socket and Power Point Repair
A socket with no power, a power point that sparks or smells, or one that is loose in the wall? Send a request and an electrician quotes for the repair.
When a socket stops working
If one socket is dead and everything else works, check the DB box first: its circuit breaker may have tripped. If the breaker is fine, the socket, its wiring or a connection behind it has failed.
Scorch marks, a burning smell or crackling from a socket mean switch off that circuit and stop using it until it is checked. Get a free estimate →
