Electrical Problems Solved the Right Way — Safe, Accurate, and Built to Last.

When something electrical stops working — or starts acting “off” — it’s rarely the time for guesswork. A breaker that keeps tripping, lights flickering, outlets that quit, or a burning smell can point to issues that need a trained electrician to diagnose properly.

Marrow Electric provides electrical service and troubleshooting across Missoula and the Bitterroot Valley for homeowners, property managers, and businesses who want safe, professional repairs — with clear communication and work that’s built to last.

Service & troubleshooting includes:

  • Breakers tripping / circuits overloading
  • Flickering lights or partial power loss
  • Outlets or switches not working
  • Burning smell, warm outlets, buzzing panels
  • GFCI/AFCI nuisance trips and fault finding
  • Panel diagnostics, repairs, and circuit corrections
  • Repairs after DIY or “handyman” wiring
  • Commercial service calls and tenant electrical issues

Our Service Process (So You Know What to Expect)

Electrical problems can be stressful — our job is to make the process simple and predictable.

  1. Listen & Gather Information
    We ask the right questions before we arrive so we bring the right tools and reduce guesswork.
  2. Diagnose the Root Cause
    We troubleshoot methodically to find the true cause — not just the obvious symptom.
  3. Provide Clear Options
    We explain what we found, what needs to happen next, and what it will cost — before repairs begin.
  4. Make Clean, Code-Compliant Repairs
    We complete repairs safely, cleanly, and with long-term reliability in mind.
  5. Test & Verify
    We verify operation and safety so you’re not calling again next week for the same issue.
