What Our Customers Say
quality

professionalism

trust
“Piro completed the repair and provided a detailed inspection of my entire home. I'd highly recommend this company.”
A GFCI that seems to trip with “no load” usually points to a ground-fault condition on the circuit or a failing GFCI device. Moisture in code-required areas like bathrooms, kitchens, garages, basements, or exterior outlets can also cause trips. Our electricians inspect wiring, downstream outlets, and the device itself, and we install replacements that meet local code.
Quick check:
- Plug in a lamp, turn it on, press Test; it should shut off. Press Reset; it should turn back on. If not, replace the device.

Yes, you can replace a basic light switch yourself if the circuit is off and the wiring is intact. If you smell burning, see sparks, hear buzzing, or the breaker trips, stop and call a licensed electrician. JDV Electric repairs and replaces switches and performs code‑compliant work with inspection or permitting when needed in Philadelphia and nearby.
Quick steps:
- Turn off the breaker and verify power is off.
- Remove the cover, label wires, and swap like-for-like.
- Tighten connections, reinstall cover, and test.
- If wiring looks damaged or outdated (e.g., knob-and-tube), call a pro.

You can, but the safest, code-correct way is to have a licensed electrician replace outlets. JDV Electric installs and replaces outlets, GFCIs, and AFCIs to city codes, with inspections and permits when needed. GFCI protection is recommended in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, garages, outdoors, and within 6 feet of water heaters. We serve Philadelphia-area homes.
Quick checks you can do now:
- Test a GFCI: plug in a lamp, press “Test” (lamp turns off), press “Reset” (lamp turns on). If not, replace the device.
- Call a pro if you notice burning odors, sparks, buzzing/clicking, heat, scorch marks, or frequently tripped breakers.
