The most basic advice we can give you to keep your electrical system in good shape and, in turn, your home safe, is to know the signs of a system in distress. When you suspect distress, know when it’s time to upgrade your electrical panel.
The problems that affect your electrical system are among the most concerning of home upgrades. They present safety hazards in addition to property damage risks. Electrical malfunctions can cause anything from electrocution to devastating house fires.
As such, it’s essential that you have a professionally trained and licensed Denver electrician check out the wiring in your home every few years. Without the proper electrical inspections, you’ll increase the chance of running into a safety concern.
The experts at Bell Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical have highlighted the most common issues below, so read on or reach out to us for an electrical inspection today!
No, this doesn’t mean that you have a haunted house! The main cause of flickering lights is usually a short circuit in the system. If it’s just one lamp or other small fixture, it may simply be that particular fixture malfunctioning.
However, if an entire portion of your living space is impacted, then the short circuit is probably occurring somewhere in the home in a more widespread location, and you have a bigger problem on your hands. If you find yourself noticing this symptom more and more often, then we highly recommend you give our pros a call.
No, we aren’t talking about areas where one room seems warmer than another—that indicates a potential problem with your central HVAC system. What we’re talking about here is when you put your hand on a light switch, or maybe even a random spot on the wall, and discover that it is warm to the touch.
Hot spots like this are typically signs that there is current flowing in a direction that it shouldn’t be, throwing off heat due to excess energy. This raises the risk of both electrocution and house fires and needs to be dealt with right away.
