Common Electrical Issues
Homeowners in the region experience various types of electrical problems. We can address a wide range of issues, including:
- Flickering Lights: If a light is flickering, it can mean the circuit is overloaded, the fixture isn’t connected properly, or a wire is corroded.
- Tripping Circuit Breakers: Breakers are designed to trip when a circuit overloads. Check to see if you have too many devices plugged in.
- Faulty Outlets: Call for help if one or more outlets aren’t working or an outlet looks scorched, makes a buzzing noise, feels warm, or emits a foul odor.
- Frequent Surges: If lights suddenly dim or flicker or appliances fluctuate in power, serious damage can occur, but home electrical repairs or installing a surge protector can help.
- Electrical Shock: Call an electrician if touching a device or switch causes a shock; this indicates a wiring problem that requires a professional to fix.
- Expensive Electric Bill: If your electric bill spikes and you’re not using more electricity, a damaged wire or circuit may be drawing more power. Call for help ASAP.
