If You Notice These Electrical Issues, Call for Repairs Immediately!

Dependable Service Since 1926

Electrical issues are serious threats, and should never be ignored. The risk of electrocution or fire can be very high in some cases, and even more mild problems can still cause quite a bit of damage to systems and appliances. The holiday season tends to place a greater load on the home’s electrical system, making problems much more likely. For that reason, you should be on the lookout for signs that you need professional electrical services. Keep an eye out for the following signs that you should call for electrical repairs immediately.

Continuous Breaker Tripping

Circuit breakers are safety devices, designed to prevent damage to the system by breaking the circuit in case of an overload. Any time a circuit trips, you should try and fix the root cause of the problem before resetting it. If you can’t find the root cause easily, you should call an electrician to handle it for you. Never do your own electrical work! It’s quite dangerous without professional training. If your circuit breaker is reset and keeps tripping, though, it means that there is a more serious problem with the electrical system. You should definitely call a professional electrician if that happens, since it will likely take a more involved effort to fix it.

Burning Smell

It’s common to occasionally smell something burning during the holidays, either because of a cooking mishap or turning on the heater for the first time of the season (dust often burns off when the heater is first activated.) However, a continual burning smell can indicate a very serious issue, including melting electrical wiring. If the burning smell lasts for a while, or is unusually strong with no apparent cause, you should have an electrician check it to make sure.
