Electrical Troubleshooting for Sunspot homes and businesses
In southern New Mexico's desert, Sunspot summers push air conditioning, coolers, and well pumps hard for months at a time, and monsoon storms bring lightning and short outages. Heat is tough on breakers, and the sun is tough on anything installed outside.

Electrical Troubleshooting FAQs for Sunspot
Why do my lights flicker in my Sunspot home?
A single flickering bulb is usually the bulb or fixture. Flickering in one room points to a loose connection on that circuit. Flickering through the whole house can be a loose main or neutral connection, or a utility problem, and needs prompt attention.
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
The three usual causes are an overloaded circuit, a short or ground fault, or a worn-out breaker. We measure the load, test the wiring, and check the breaker so you know which one it is.
How long does troubleshooting take?
Most faults are found within the first hour. Intermittent problems can take longer because we may need to recreate the conditions that trigger them.
