Commonly Asked Questions

What are common electrical repair issues in homes?

Common electrical repair issues in homes include circuit breaker trips, flickering lights, outlets not working, and electrical shocks.

How can I troubleshoot a circuit breaker trip?

To troubleshoot a circuit breaker trip, first, turn off all the appliances connected to the circuit. Then, reset the circuit breaker by flipping it to the off position and then back on. If the circuit breaker trips again, it may indicate a wiring issue or an overloaded circuit, and it's best to call a professional electrician.

Why are my lights flickering?

Lights can flicker due to various reasons, including loose connections, faulty light bulbs, voltage fluctuations, or issues with the electrical wiring. If you notice persistent or frequent flickering, it's recommended to have an electrician inspect your electrical system to identify and resolve the underlying cause.

What should I do if an outlet is not working?

If an outlet is not working, first, check if the circuit breaker associated with that outlet has tripped. If the circuit breaker is fine, try resetting the GFCI outlet if applicable. If the outlet still doesn't work, it may indicate a wiring issue or a faulty outlet, and it's advisable to call a professional electrician for further diagnosis and repair.

What should I do if I experience an electrical shock?

If you experience an electrical shock, the first step is to ensure your safety. Disconnect from the electrical source if possible and seek medical attention if needed. It's important to have a qualified electrician inspect your electrical system to identify and fix any potential hazards that may have caused the electrical shock.

Can I perform electrical repairs myself?

While there are some minor electrical repairs that homeowners can handle, it's generally recommended to hire a professional electrician for electrical repairs. Electrical systems can be complex and potentially dangerous, and a licensed electrician has the knowledge, experience, and tools to ensure the repairs are done safely and correctly.

When to Call an Electrician for Repair

Managing electricity in a home can be challenging, especially when things go wrong. While some electrical issues seem not to be a cause for concern, many problems warrant an immediate call to a professional electrician. Homeowners should be aware of the signs of an electrical problem so they can contact an expert as soon as possible for repairs.

There are several signs that indicate electrical repairs are needed, including: 

  • Sparking appliance or circuit breaker
  • Flickering lights
  • Damaged wires in an electrical panel
  • Smoking or burning smells 
  • Hot switch plate or outlet
  • Power is inconsistent 
  • Breakers trip frequently 
  • Buzzing in the walls
  • Light switches that don’t turn anything on
  • Outlets or switches cause a shock

Most electrical issues can be fixed quickly and easily if caught early. However, because working with electricity can be complicated and dangerous, it’s always best to leave repairs to a licensed electrician with years of experience.

Why Do My Lights Flicker? 

Flickering lights are sometimes due to harmless causes, such as a bad bulb or a bulb that’s loose in its socket. These types of issues can be fixed simply by replacing the bulb or tightening the bulb inside its socket. Homeowners are usually able to take care of these fixes on their own, but they should be careful to turn off the light switch to prevent burning or electric shock. If multiple lights are flickering in the same area of the house, it’s likely a problem with the circuit. Since this problem can be dangerous if left unaddressed, it’s best to call an electrician as soon as possible to diagnose the issue and provide the right repair. 

If the lights flicker when large appliances power on, it could be due to an insufficient power supply. An electrician can inspect the system and determine if it’s time for an electrical service upgrade. In the case that flickering lights are not associated with large appliances turning on and the issue is not contained in one specific area but occurs all over the house, it could be a sign of a larger problem in the electrical system, such as a loose connection or bad wiring. Because these types of issues can lead to various hazards, an electrician should be contacted right away for an inspection.
