Description Of Work:

General inspection and Troubleshoot GFI problem and circuit breaker tripping.

Member Comments:

My outside landscape lighting went out and took out all my exterior outlets. A few days later, a whole room in my house went out and the circuit breaker wouldn’t stay on. John from Prestige came out and checked out my electrical. We discovered that my sewage pump was defective and blowing out my circuit. He also traced my exterior outlets to the GFI (was upstairs!?). John was very knowledgeable, and quick. He even replaced one of my faulty 110v outlets in my laundry room (so no more extension cords!)

Federal Pacific Panels

Federal Pacific split bus electrical panels lost their UL rating about 25 years ago due to a high failure rate in the effectiveness of its panel breakers. If you own one, it needs to be replaced immediately. If you have any questions about whether your panel might be a Federal Pacific, please don’t hesitate to call us. We’ll be pleased to check the electrical panel in your property.
