Know When To Call An Electrician
It is important to know when or why you should contact a professional electrician to come to service your home or office. It is dangerous to try and fix these issues yourself, and without experience and training, you could make the problem worse. You may also be putting yourself, your family, and your employees at risk.
Blown Fuses/Tripped Breakers
If you find that your fuses blow regularly, or if your circuit breakers are being tripped often, you make consider calling an electrician. This is a sign that your circuits are taking more power than they can safely distribute. This could also be a warning that there are one or more circuits with dangerous faults.
Flickering and Waning
Have you ever had a moment when you turned on the microwave, and the lights begin to wane or flicker? This is a common issue when your motor-driven appliances draw a great amount of current. They need to be wired on a circuit that is dedicated to them. However, if you are having issues with smaller appliances, you may need to think about servicing them with the addition of a 20 amp line.
Warmth and Shock
If your electrical system surfaces are warm to the touch, it could be a sign of a very dangerous issue. If could be as simple as too great of a demand on the circuit, or could even be a sign of aluminum wiring. Other signs of being aware of are mild shocks when touching or using a switch or outlet, blackening around switchplates, terminals for switches, or the ends of wires.
Electrical System Age
One big reason to call an electrical professional is age. Homes that haven’t received upgrades in more than 25 years often experience the most issues. The wiring system may be inadequate or hazardous. Your electrical panel may not be the safest anymore. Having an electrician come to your house on a service call allows for them to inspect it and, if needed, update to the code standards of today.
