Real Reviews from Our Customers

“We have used Sentry Electric several times and have always been very pleased with the quality of work, professionalism and pricing. Most recently Steve came to our home to work on our daughter’s fairy bedroom installing some new lights and reworking outlets. The work was done quickly and cleanly and our daughter is over the moon with the results. We will be using Sentry Electric’s services for all our electrical needs in the future.”

- Cymon K.

“I had a relatively straightforward problem with my outdoor outlets not staying on and flipping their central GFCI switch often and then eventually just not coming back on. The guys who helped me (I believe it was Steven and Reagan, apologies if I’m misspelling the names) not only got things back up and running with a new GFCI switch, but explained to me why the strange wiring in my house was likely done the way it was, how I can keep the outlets from flipping that switch so much (hint: don’t have an extension cord plugged in outside year-round where water can get in it), why GFCI switches might fail constantly after being flipped enough times, and what I could do with the outlets themselves if I ever wanted to make a more permanent change to the way they are being flipped at a central point.”

- Robert W.

“I received terrific service today from Sentry Electric. Joshua and Wyatt were very courteous and professional. I had a dryer outlet and relay box with wiring that had gone south. They gave me an estimate, explained the work scope thoroughly and did an EXCELLENT job on the new installation!! They also completely cleaned up after the install which I appreciated. I would definitely recommend Sentry Electric and will use them again for my future needs.”

- Carol S.

“Vincent is always friendly and thorough, and I appreciate his willingness to answer our questions. Sentry has always treated us with the highest level of professionalism, and we certainly recommend their services.”

Your Electrical Repair Questions Answered

We understand that electrical issues can raise a lot of questions. Here are some common concerns we address:

Why is my circuit breaker tripping repeatedly?

A tripping circuit breaker could indicate an overloaded circuit, a short circuit, or a ground fault. Our electricians will diagnose the problem, make the necessary repairs, and offer solutions to prevent future tripping.

Can I fix electrical problems myself, or should I call an electrician?

While DIYers can handle some minor electrical tasks, it’s crucial to prioritize safety. Electrical work can be dangerous if not done correctly. For any repairs or installations, it’s always best to call a licensed electrician like Sentry Electric to avoid potential hazards and keep your home safe.

How can I tell if my home's wiring needs to be updated?

If your home is older or you’re experiencing frequent electrical issues like flickering lights, dimming lights when appliances are turned on, or warm outlets, it might be time for a wiring upgrade. Our electricians can assess your home’s wiring and recommend the best course of action.

What should I do if I smell burning plastic or see sparks coming from an outlet?

These are signs of a serious electrical problem. Turn off the power to the affected area immediately and call Sentry Electric for emergency assistance. Do not attempt to fix it yourself, as this could lead to injury or fire.
