Chances are you do not spend much time thinking about the electrical system that powers your home. You come home, flip the light switch, and expect it to come on.
It is normal to take your home’s electrical system for granted, but there are certain warning signs you should never dismiss.
If you notice any of the problems listed below, your next call should be to a licensed electrician in Denver, like those on staff at Bell Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical.
Periodically check each electrical outlet to make sure it works. Even if you aren’t currently using that outlet. It is important to make sure each one is in working order since broken outlets could be a sign of faulty wiring or other hidden electrical problems.
If you notice that outlets that once worked no longer do, you should contact an expert electrician in Denver to find the problem and resolve it. Even a non-working outlet could spark an electrical fire and do damage to your home.
Your electrical outlets can tell you a lot, so take a closer look at them the next time you clean your home. If you see brown spots or areas of discoloration on the outlets, you should have them checked out.
Say a breaker trips when you overload the circuit, your electrical system is doing what it was designed to do. Overloading a circuit is always an unwise thing to do, and a tripped breaker helps protect the rest of your home. If your breaker is tripping frequently and for no apparent reason, there could be a serious problem with your electrical system.
If you experience breakers tripping even when the circuit is not overloaded, you should schedule an appointment with Bell Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical right away to ensure you and your home’s safety.
Some problems, like discolored or nonfunctional electrical outlets, are important but not urgent. Other problems, however, simply cannot be ignored. If you detect a burning smell that permeates your home, you have an emergency on your hands. A burning smell could be the first sign of a looming electrical fire, and one you should not ignore.
If you do detect a burning smell, you should immediately turn off the main power and call an electrician for emergency service. Prompt action could stop a fire before it starts.
The electrical system in your home has an important job to do, and it is up to you to monitor that system for safety and performance. It is normal to see a few issues here and there, especially if you live in an older home. But if you have frequent issues and unexplained electrical problems, it is time to call in the professionals from Bell for an electrical inspection in Denver or beyond.
Never try to fix your own wiring or diagnose an electrical system on your own. Electricians are experts, with years of training and experience, and calling one now could stop the damage from getting worse.
