Signs Your Home or Business Needs Electrical Repairs
Addressing potential electrical issues promptly protects your property and the people within it. Putting off scheduling electrical repairs can lead to serious problems, including fire hazards, appliance damage, and power outages. Early intervention can also prevent more extensive and costly repairs down the line.
Reach out to our electrical repair experts if you notice any of the following issues:
- Flickering or dimming lights. Lights that flicker, buzz, or dim when you use another appliance often indicate an overloaded circuit. This happens when too many devices draw power from the same circuit, and the wiring struggles to handle the load. This can cause the circuit to overheat and potentially cause a fire.
- Outlets or switches that feel warm. A warm outlet or switch is a major red flag and can signal a loose connection or other wiring issues behind the wall. This type of heat is a direct result of electrical current flowing improperly. If you feel warmth when you touch an outlet or switch plate, you should unplug any devices and call our team at MVP Home Services immediately.
- Burning smells. A burning smell coming from an outlet, switch, or electrical panel is an undeniable sign of an active electrical problem. The smell usually comes from plastic or rubber wire insulation overheating and melting. This is a fire hazard, and you should not ignore it. Turn off the power at the main breaker and contact us right away.
- Frequently tripping breakers. Breakers trip to prevent circuits from overheating. If a breaker trips often, it's doing its job to protect you from an overload or a short circuit. However, a frequently tripping breaker indicates that your electrical system cannot handle the demand you're placing on it. Our electricians can diagnose the cause and recommend a solution, such as a circuit upgrade or a dedicated circuit for a large appliance.
- Sparks from outlets. Sparks or a flash of light when you plug in a device indicate a problem with the outlet or the device itself. While a small, momentary spark can be normal, a large or persistent flash suggests a dangerous fault. We can inspect the outlet and the wiring to find the source of the problem and make the necessary repairs.
- Frayed or chewed wires. Visibly damaged wires, with insulation that is cracked, frayed, or chewed by pests, pose a serious shock and fire risk. We can replace damaged wiring to eliminate this danger and bring your system up to current safety standards.
- Buzzing sounds. A buzzing sound coming from an outlet, switch, or electrical panel is a sign of a loose connection or faulty component. This noise is the sound of electricity arcing or jumping across a gap. We can find and fix whatever is causing the buzz to prevent a fire or other electrical failure.
What Is Included in a Whole-House Electrical Inspection?
A whole-house electrical inspection is a comprehensive safety check of your home's entire electrical system. Our team begins the inspection by talking with you about any specific electrical issues or concerns you may have noticed. We can then conduct a thorough, room-by-room assessment of all electrical components.
During the inspection, we carefully examine your main electrical panel and check for correct wiring, proper grounding, and any signs of damage or overheating. We also inspect all your home's outlets, switches, and light fixtures, looking for loose connections, faulty components, and proper operation. Additionally, we inspect your home's wiring and grounding system to verify it meets all current safety codes and standards. We can check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, making sure they have power and are working as they should.
After we complete the inspection, we'll provide you with a detailed report of our findings, highlighting any areas of concern, potential safety hazards, or recommended upgrades. We will take the time to walk you through the report and answer any questions you may have, giving you a clear understanding of your home's electrical health.
