4 Common Signs Your Home Needs Electrical Repair
Keeping your home up to date with the current electrical standards not only increases the value of your house but keeps you and your family safe. Knowing how to spot electrical problems early can save you money and restore your peace of mind. If you’re experiencing any of the signs below, contact one of our professionals today!
Flickering lights:
If you notice your lights flickering when your HVAC system kicks on or your dryer is running, this could mean you need an electrical panel upgrade or whole-home surge protection. Although it’s common for lights to do this, especially in older homes, it can still be a fire hazard.
Frequently tripped breakers:
If you read this and you’re thinking, “I have blown fuses, not tripped breakers,” this applies to you, too. Although your breakers might trip every now and then, frequently tripped breakers indicate circuit overload. Adding a new circuit can solve your problem – or you may need an electrical panel upgrade to circuit breakers for those of you with fuse boxes.
Warm or loose electrical outlets:
Over time, outlets can become loose through constant unplugging. The metal terminals connect with the metal prongs on a plug, causing the terminal screws to become loose. This creates electrical resistance, increasing your chances of getting shocked or setting a nearby object on fire. If your outlet is warm to the touch, cut the power to that outlet by turning off the breaker and contacting one of our electricians immediately.
Constantly replacing light bulbs:
Light bulbs needing replacement is not usually an area of concern for homeowners. However, if you’re frequently changing light bulbs, this could be an indication of a serious problem within your home’s electrical system. Check to make sure you’re using the correct wattage – but if your problem persists, call a licensed electrician.
