Flickering lights usually occur when a light bulb is burned out or not screwed in properly. However, if the flickering persists after replacing the bulb, there may be a malfunction in the light itself. Wisler can repair broken lights and switches or help you find replacement lights.
Wisler regularly performs home wiring inspections. We can tell you how efficiently your home’s wiring is working, how old it is, and when to consider replacing it. We can also troubleshoot wiring problems, repair or replace junction boxes, or even replace entire systems if necessary. Whatever your electrical wiring problems are, we will find the best way to solve and address them.

Electrical panels are the modern equivalent of fuse boxes. All electrical energy that enters your home passes through your electrical panel and is distributed there into branch circuits. Electrical panel malfunctions lead to electrical fires, power surges, electric shocks, and other dangerous problems. If something is wrong with your electrical panel, Wisler can inspect and repair it immediately.
Especially during storms, power outages can occur at any time and without warning. A power outage can not only be inconvenient and annoying, but it can also cause a disruption in your productivity that you may not be able to afford. If you know you can’t go without power for hours or days, consider getting a backup generator for your home. At Wisler, our Roanoke generator installation experts can help you prepare with a generator in the event of a storm or unexpected power outages.

You can install a GFCI outlet yourself, but the safest and most reliable result typically comes from a licensed electrician. The most common DIY mistake is swapping the LINE and LOAD terminals — a GFCI can appear to work even when miswired, and only proper testing confirms it's actually protecting the circuit.
Call a pro if any of these apply:
If you can't clearly identify LINE vs. LOAD conductors, stop and schedule a licensed electrician. Our team handles these installs every week for homeowners around Salem and Roanoke.
A GFCI that trips with no load usually signals a device fault, a wiring issue, or moisture — not an appliance problem. Common causes include a worn GFCI receptacle, water in the outlet box, or a loose and damaged connection.
Quick checks before calling:
If the problem continues after drying, schedule a professional inspection. All Wisler electrical work is performed by certified, background-checked electricians and backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. We serve Rocky Mount and Roanoke.
Outlet repair costs are quoted upfront after an on-site diagnosis. Most repairs involve a worn receptacle, a loose or heat-damaged connection, or a tripping GFCI that needs replacement. We provide Straightforward Pricing before any work begins.
Common cost drivers include:
Turn off the breaker and avoid using any hot, buzzing, or sparking outlet until a licensed electrician inspects it. Our electricians handle outlet repairs daily around Salem and respond 24/7 for urgent hazards.
You can replace a standard outlet yourself, but mistakes can cause shock, fire risk, or code violations. For most homeowners, a licensed electrician is the safer and faster path — all Wisler outlet work is performed by certified, background-checked electricians and backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
If you attempt DIY, follow these steps carefully:
We serve Rocky Mount and Roanoke and can typically schedule same-day or next-day service.
Turn the tripped breaker fully to OFF first, then back to ON after reducing the load on that circuit. Most trips are caused by an overloaded circuit — shorts or ground faults are less common but more serious.
Follow these steps in order:
Reset only once. If the breaker trips again immediately, stop — repeated resets on a faulted circuit can cause damage or fire. If you notice heat, a burning smell, or loud buzzing at the panel, treat it as urgent. Never force a breaker that won't reset or open a panel you aren't trained to service.
A breaker that trips with nothing plugged in usually means a fault on the circuit itself — not an overload from devices. Common causes include damaged wiring, a failing breaker, a ground fault, moisture in an outlet or junction box, or a hardwired device on that circuit. AFCI and GFCI breakers can also trip when they detect arcing or ground faults even without a load.
Quick checks before calling:
If the breaker trips again after a single reset, schedule a licensed electrician. Our team troubleshoots and resolves these issues and performs routine panel inspections throughout Roanoke and Salem.
Wiring repair costs are set only after an on-site diagnosis and a clear, fixed-price quote. Most of the cost comes from the time needed to locate the fault and the materials required to correct it. Our licensed electricians work to current electrical codes on every repair.
Typical cost drivers our electricians evaluate:
A $99 Electrical Safety Inspection or $99 Home Safety Inspection (per trade) is a good low-commitment starting point for identifying issues before committing to repairs. Turn off the affected circuit if you see scorch marks, smell burning, or feel heat at an outlet — then book a licensed electrician.
Installing a ceiling fan with existing wiring is typically lower cost than running new circuits, but final pricing is confirmed after an on-site inspection. The biggest variable is whether the existing ceiling box is fan-rated and properly braced — if it isn't, replacing it often changes the scope more than the fan brand itself.
Common cost factors our technicians check:
We provide clear, upfront pricing before any work begins. Have a licensed electrician verify the box rating and mounting before you purchase the fan. Our electricians handle these installs throughout the Roanoke Valley and Salem area.
Yes — you can replace a ceiling fan yourself if it's a like-for-like swap on a properly fan-rated ceiling box with sound existing wiring. Hire an electrician if any of the following apply:
Quick DIY checks if you proceed:
In Roanoke and Rocky Mount, some older homes have non-fan-rated boxes — always verify support before hanging a new fan.
Smart home wiring costs vary by scope and are confirmed after an in-home assessment of circuits, panel capacity, and device locations. We handle automatic lighting controls, motion sensors, thermostat upgrades, EV charger circuits, generator ATS setups, and panel upgrades.
For budgeting before a full assessment, consider:
A licensed electrician will confirm exact pricing on site before work begins. We serve Roanoke and Rocky Mount.
No — installing a whole-house surge protector is not a safe DIY project. It requires work at the main service panel where conductors remain energized even when the main breaker is off. Incorrect grounding can leave your home unprotected even though the device appears installed correctly.
Reasons to always call a licensed electrician for this job:
If you've had recent lightning strikes or utility flickers, unplug sensitive electronics and schedule a professional evaluation. We routinely install panel-mounted surge protection for homes across the Roanoke Valley.
Whole-home surge protector installation is priced after an on-site evaluation. There is no single flat rate because panel layout, available breaker space, wiring distance, and device rating all affect labor and materials. You'll receive a same-day estimate and fixed pricing before work begins — backed by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
