Sometimes you just need a professional. Some home issues are an easy fix., some aren't. Patching a hole in your wall or painting won't burn your house down. A lose connection and some flickering lights can.  Our electricians have a combined 50+ years of experience that you just cant get from a DIY video on Youtube. Lets look at some examples of when you should hire a certified electrician.

 

Circuit breaker tripping: A circuit breaker is designed to shut off power to a circuit when it detects an overload or short circuit condition. If a circuit breaker trips frequently, it may indicate a problem with the circuit, such as too many appliances or devices connected to it. It could also be a sign of a lose connection creating hot spots. An electrician can troubleshoot the issue by inspecting the wiring and electrical panel, checking the load on the circuit, and identifying any faulty appliances or devices that may be causing the problem.

 

Electrical outlets not working: If an electrical outlet is not working, it may be due to a problem with the wiring or the outlet itself. Over the years the internal components of a light switch or outlet can degrade causing lose connections from repeated use. An electrician can troubleshoot the issue by checking the wiring and connections, testing the outlet with a voltage tester, and replacing the outlet if deemed necessary.

 

Flickering or dimming lights: Flickering or dimming lights can be caused by a variety of factors-  voltage fluctuations, loose connections, dimmer incompatibility, faulty light fixtures and even lose connections can cause flickering or erratic behaviour in lighting devices. An electrician has the knowledge and expertise to troubleshoot these issues.

 

Electrical shocks: If you experience an electrical shock when touching an appliance or electrical device, it may indicate a problem with the grounding or wiring. Electricity is dangerous and electrical shocks should not be taken lightly. If you are unfortunate enough to suffer an electric shock, even if its just a light one, it may be wise to contact our team of licenced electrical contractors to inspect your home for dangerous electrical issues. 

 

Burning smell or smoke: If you smell a burning odor or see smoke coming from an electrical device or appliance, you have a potentially serious electrical issue.  An electrician should be called immediately to troubleshoot the issue, as it may be caused by a faulty wiring or a short circuit. Our team of electricians are trained to seek out electrical issues within your home, bringing you peace of mind.
