Project Overview

Location: Garner, NC (serviced by our Raleigh team)
Service Category: Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting
Technician: Brad Williams
Completed: November 21, 2024
Scope: Replace pressure switch and troubleshoot landscape lighting circuits

Our visit began with targeted diagnostics to confirm the root cause of the pressure control issue and to isolate faults affecting the outdoor lighting. With the right tests and safety checks, we delivered a focused repair that restored dependable performance.

What We Did

Pressure switch replacement: We verified the failed component, safely de-energized the circuit, replaced the switch, and tested operation to confirm proper response and stable cycling under normal load.
Landscape lighting troubleshooting: Using two hours of diagnostics, we inspected low-voltage components, verified transformer output, evaluated photocell/timer settings, and checked connections and splices to pinpoint issues impacting reliability. Final testing confirmed safe, consistent illumination.

Our Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting approach emphasizes safety, code compliance, and clear communication so you understand what we’re checking, what we found, and the best path to a lasting fix.
