In Hilltop
Hilltop is an older Tacoma neighborhood of early and mid-1900s homes, small apartment buildings and newer infill.
Older homes in Hilltop may have older wiring, and a job that looks simple can show something unexpected, which we tell you about before going further.
In Hilltop, a mix of old and new work on the same street means supply and drain pipe can be very different from one house to the next.

Questions
Is replacing the breaker always the fix?
No. A breaker that trips can be reacting to a real fault. That is why electrical troubleshooting has its own posted price.
Can I swap it myself?
We do not recommend working inside the panel. It carries live power.
How do I pay?
By card from a text link when the job is done, or cash or check to Doug on site.
