Our Placitas, New Mexico service visit starts with safety. We check the panel cover, main breaker, grounding, bonding, GFCI and AFCI protection, and the parts of the home tied to the problem area. This keeps the work focused. It also keeps you from paying for guesswork. Most faults come from heat, age, water, loose connections, or too much load on an old circuit.
