Your electrical system powers your home, but when something goes wrong, it can be a safety risk. Here are 7 signs that you need to call an electrician:

Our licensed electricians provide reliable outlet repairs to prevent safety hazards.

1. Flickering or Dimming Lights

Frequent flickering or dimming lights could indicate a wiring issue or an

overloaded circuit. Have it checked to avoid potential hazards.

2. Frequent Circuit Breaker Trips

If your circuit breaker trips often, it could signal overloaded circuits or faulty wiring. An electrician can diagnose the cause.

3. Warm Outlets or Switches

Outlets or switches that feel warm to the touch may be overheating. This could be a fire hazard and should be addressed immediately.

4. Burning Smell or Sparks

A burning smell or sparks from an outlet is a serious fire risk. Turn off power and call an electrician right away.

5. Buzzing or Crackling Noises

Buzzing or crackling sounds from outlets or switches usually mean faulty wiring. This needs immediate attention to prevent fire hazards.

6. Dead Outlets

A dead outlet might indicate a blown fuse or loose wiring. Have it checked to ensure there’s no underlying electrical issue.

7. Outdated Wiring

Homes with outdated wiring (like knob-and-tube or aluminum) may pose fire risks. An inspection and upgrade are essential for safety.
