Flickering lights, warm outlets, and a faint burning smell are not quirks of an old house, they are warnings. Neighbors Electric diagnoses and repairs faulty wiring across Fort Worth and the greater Dallas / Fort Worth metroplex, finding the actual fault rather than masking the symptom.

Why Fort Worth trusts Neighbors Electric

Homeowners in Fort Worth, Mansfield, and Saginaw call us when something feels off, because we track the problem to its source. We open only what we need to, explain what we find, and repair it to code so it stays fixed.

Technical expertise and diagnostics

We diagnose with a methodical approach: a thermal camera to locate overheating connections, a multimeter and circuit tracer to isolate faults, and an insulation resistance tester for suspect runs. Repairs follow NEC requirements for splices, box fill, and connections, and we address known hazards like backstabbed connections and aging aluminum branch wiring with approved methods.

Signs you need wiring repair

• Lights that flicker or dim when appliances cycle on
• Outlets or switch plates that feel warm or are discolored
• A burning or fishy smell near outlets or the panel
• Breakers that trip without an obvious cause
• Buzzing from a switch, outlet, or fixture, or aluminum branch wiring

Our process

1. Listen to the symptoms and inspect the affected area
2. Use diagnostic tools to isolate the actual fault
3. Explain the cause and the repair before proceeding
4. Make the repair to code, replacing damaged wire or connections
5. Test the repaired circuit and surrounding outlets

How we verify the work

We confirm the fault is resolved with the circuit under load, re-scan connections with the thermal camera to confirm no remaining hot spots, and verify correct voltage and grounding on the repaired circuit.

Why professional service matters

Faulty wiring is a leading cause of home electrical fires, and the dangerous part is usually hidden inside a wall or box. A repair that addresses the symptom without finding the fault leaves the real hazard in place. Diagnosis is where experience matters most. Learn more from the National Fire Protection Association.

Frequently asked questions

Is flickering lights a sign of a wiring problem?

It can be. Flickering that affects multiple fixtures, or that happens when appliances turn on, often points to a loose connection or an overloaded circuit. We diagnose the cause rather than guess.

Why is my outlet warm to the touch?

A warm outlet usually means a loose or failing connection that is arcing and generating heat. This is a fire risk and should be checked promptly. Stop using it and call us.

Do you repair aluminum wiring?

Yes. Aluminum branch wiring from certain eras has known connection problems. We address it with approved repair methods at outlets, switches, and connections.

What should I do if I smell burning near an outlet?

Stop using the circuit, and if it is safe, turn off the breaker. A burning smell is a serious warning. Call us right away at 817-533-0943 for prompt service.

Can you find a wiring fault inside the wall without tearing it apart?

Usually yes. We use circuit tracers and thermal imaging to locate faults precisely, so we open only what is necessary to make the repair.

Why do my breakers keep tripping?

Repeated tripping is the breaker doing its job in response to an overload, a short, or a ground fault. We diagnose which one it is and repair the underlying cause.

Is wiring repair an emergency?

Warm outlets, burning smells, and visible arcing are urgent. We offer 24-hour service across the metroplex for wiring hazards that cannot wait.
