Signs You May Need Electrical Repair
Because an electrical system has to perform so many tasks on a daily basis, it is no wonder that it will experience trouble after much use. When the outlets, switches, wiring, or panels are acting up, they will make it difficult to receive a reliable source of power. More importantly, however, these issues can lead to a dangerous case of fire or electrical shock. The best way to avoid these problems is by looking for the early signs of trouble in the electrical system.
Do not hesitate to get in touch with our helpful technicians when noticing:
- Exposed electrical wiring where the rubber has been torn off
- Wires that are frayed, chewed by rodents, or completely cut
- Electric panels that keep triggering the circuit breakers
- The inability to use more than one electrical appliance at a time
What if an issue turns out to be more complicated, like appliances that are never able to receive power, or heaters shorting even after power is restored? With our reliable Seattle electrical diagnostics and repair, we can come to residents’ aid. We are typically available on the same day clients call for most troubleshooting questions and repair calls. Because electric issues strike at the worst times, we can also provide emergency service in the evenings and on weekends.
What Causes a Breaker to Trip Repeatedly?
The most common cause of a circuit breaker tripping is an overload on the circuit. This occurs when too many appliances are plugged into the same circuit, drawing more power than it can handle. Other potential causes include faulty wiring or unsafe electrical connections; a short circuit caused by faulty wiring or a loose wire touching metal components; and electric arcing due to poor insulation around wiring. If you suspect any of these issues, consult an electrician for assistance.
Signs of a Bad Electrical Outlet
Signs of a bad electrical outlet can indicate potential safety hazards and should be addressed promptly.
Here are some common signs to look out for:
- Sparks or Arcing
- Burn Marks
- Warm or Hot Outlet
- Flickering Lights
- Tripped Circuit Breaker
- Buzzing or Crackling Sounds
- Intermittent Power
- Loose Outlets
- Age and Wear
- Burning Smell
If you notice any of these signs, it's important to address the issue promptly for safety reasons.
Why Are My Lights Flickering and Dimming
Lights flickering and dimming can be caused by various factors. Here are some common reasons:
- Voltage Fluctuations: Fluctuations in electrical voltage can cause lights to flicker.
- Loose or Faulty Wiring: Wiring issues in your home can lead to intermittent power supply, causing flickering or dimming.
- Overloaded Circuits: Too many devices on a circuit can result in voltage drops affecting your lights.
- Issues with Light Bulbs: Faulty or incompatible bulbs may flicker. Ensure compatibility and bulb condition.
- Faulty Switches or Dimmer Switches: Malfunctioning switches can cause flickering or dimming.
- Electrical Interference: Appliances with electric motors can introduce interference affecting lights.
- Utility Company Issues: Problems with the utility company's equipment or power distribution may cause fluctuations.
- Bad Electrical Connections in the Utility Line: Issues outside your home can impact the quality of power reaching your house.
