What Is the Cost?
I come to the Newcastle area (98056 and 98059) for $60. Once I am there working on the problem, we add $1.00 per minute. Because my average job takes 40 minutes, your cost ends up being around $110 (counting tax). Reasonable.

"Bad Circuit" Stories from Newcastle
Near Lake Boren. One of Ken's circuit breakers would trip at times, and never immediately upon being turned on. This is typical of an overload (too many or too heavy loads being used). But the things Ken used on this circuit would not have been enough to do that. There is one other condition that will make a breaker do this. It isn't that a circuit breaker can become mechanically weak. It has to do with the fact that a breaker will trip for heat buildup, not just current. And the way that can happen is from poor contact within the breaker or between it and its busbar or your circuit wire. With that in mind, I opened Ken's circuit panel. Indeed, that circuit showed me a breaker that was getting abnormally hot inside itself. I could tell by how the plastic on the side of the breaker was bubbled looking and even a little charred. I replaced it, and Ken would not be inconvenienced by this circuit again. Thanks to the electrician Newcastle should use for electrical mysteries.
A Year Later. Ken had a new problem. And since he knew a good electrician, he called me back. (I hope people don't stop trying a few ideas themselves, just because a previous problem was beyond them.) This was a matter of two outdoor lights not working. They were supposed to operate automatically from a timer switch, but its digital readout was now blank. Bad timer? I thought so at first, but when I temporarily replaced it with a standard switch, the lights still did not work. It turned out that the bulbs were both burned out (which can be expected at some point from lights left on all night). Once they had new bulbs, the timer worked again. You see, some electronic timers won't operate unless there is at least one good bulb in the lights! But who knows that kind of thing? Answer: the troubleshooter electrician Newcastle will use against these annoying byproducts of modern life.
