electrical repairs

Fixing circuitry problems

Electrical repairs are work done to fix problems in electrical systems—replacing faulty wiring, repairing outlets, fixing circuit breakers, or restoring power to malfunctioning equipment.

The term covers both professional work by licensed electricians and DIY fixes, though safety concerns often favor the former: The landlord finally sent someone for electrical repairs after the outlet started sparking.
