Electrical repair
Electrical repair when something is wrong now
A breaker that will not reset, a room that went dark after lightning, a warm outlet, or an AC condenser that died at the disconnect — those are diagnosis calls. Boca Raton AC & Electric finds the fault before anyone talks about a panel upgrade or a new appliance.
What we’d tell you first
Plain notes, the way a tech would say them on the phone. Then call or book if you want someone at the house.
- 1
Reset once
If a breaker trips again, leave it off. Repeated resets hide serious faults and can make the damage worse.
- 2
Say if the AC died with it
Many post-storm no-cool calls are electrical. Tell us whether the outdoor unit is silent or the whole wing went dark.
Start here, not with a shopping list
We ask what changed: a storm, a new appliance, renovation dust, water near a panel. Then we test in order — branch circuit, connections, load, and whether the panel itself is the weak link.
Resetting the same breaker twice is enough. Leave it off and call (561) 956-4779. Burning smell or scorched plastic is a shut-off-and-call situation, not a DIY tighten.
- Breakers that trip again after storms
- Dead outlets in one room or half a house
- GFCI that will not reset
- Buzzing panel or warm cover
- AC outdoor disconnect that arcs or will not power the unit
- Lights that dim when the compressor starts
AC and electric on the same ticket
Many no-cool calls after South Palm Beach County storms are electrical. Contactor, capacitor, and disconnect sit next to the refrigeration diagnosis. Luxury homes and HOA communities should not need two vendors to decide which trade owns the failure.
Boca housing stock notes
Older east Boca and some west Boca homes outgrow original circuits when kitchens, pool equipment, and EV chargers share the bus. Gated clubs often need guest-list access before we open a panel. Say the community when you book.
When repair becomes a panel or surge conversation
Repeated trips, double taps, outdated hardware, or storm damage at the service can point past a single outlet. You hear that plainly — with links to panel upgrades and surge protection when those are the honest next steps.
Questions we’d answer on the phone
The short version before anyone is standing in the yard.
Should I keep resetting a tripped breaker?
No. Once is a check. Twice means leave it off and request service. Repeated resets can hide a serious fault.
Do you handle aluminum wiring concerns?
We evaluate connections and say what is safe to extend. Some repairs need specialized methods; we will not silently splice onto a problem circuit.
Can you diagnose a no-cool that is really electrical?
Yes. Dual-trade diagnosis is why the brand includes Electric. You should not need a second company to learn the disconnect is dead.
