When you call our electricians for residential and commercial repairs, they show up on time and are ready to help. We provide complete services that include troubleshooting and using quality materials for all repairs. Our electricians thoroughly inspect all circuits to ensure safe and efficient voltage distribution.
Here are some of the most common signs your home or business circuits need servicing.
- Dimming lights
- Tripping circuit breakers
- Sparking outlets
- Buzzing noises
When you see lights dimming or browning out, the causes may range from faulty wiring to circuit overloading. If this happens once or twice a year, it could be the utility company switching substations. If it happens a few times a week, you may need a wiring replacement service or panel adjustments.
The frequency of circuit breakers tripping may also determine whether you need an inspection. You can expect them to trip during a thunderstorm; this means they are protecting the circuits from a power surge. They may also trip occasionally when the utility company is repairing the grid.
If they trip when your refrigerator or AC cycle, you may have an overloaded circuit or a short circuit. In some cases, aging breakers no longer function as they should. When our electricians troubleshoot this issue, they may change the breakers, redistribute the circuit load, rewire, or replace outlets.
Seeing a small spark when plugging in or unplugging appliances and devices is normal. You may see two momentary sparks letting you know the circuit is completing or breaking. The problem is when you see larger sparks more frequently. This can be a major concern if loose wiring is the cause.
Faulty appliances can also cause sparking; in other cases, the fault is in the outlets. When this happens, our electricians check the wiring and all connections. The most important aspect of this service is to ensure the sparks do not create a fire hazard.
Electrical noises should never be ignored, especially when they sound like buzzing, which could indicate arcing. The buzzing noise is from the electricity jumping and creating an arc between loose connections or damaged wires. Arcing is dangerous because it generates heat that can cause structural fires. The buzzing noise is a warning. Repairing this issue involves replacing wiring sections and checking the grounding.
