SIGNS YOU NEED AN ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR

It’s important to note that all electrical repair service needs to be done by a qualified electrician. However, it’s still important to know warning signs so you can get service before it leads to an emergency. Common indicators include:

  • Flickering lights
  • Outlets or switches that are hot to the touch
  • Exposed wiring
  • Buzzing sound from your electrical panel
  • Loose outlets or plug connections
  • Strange odors or burning smells
  • Constantly blow fuses or tripped breakers

If any of these issues sound familiar, it’s time to contact your electrical contractor. At Erkies Plumbing, Electrical, Heating & Air, we take the time to troubleshoot your issues because in many cases, they can be related to another system in your home. Our goal is to find the ideal solution that keeps your home and family safe.

COMMON ELECTRICAL ISSUES

As your full-service electrical company, you can count on our staff to help with any and all issues. Some of our most common fixes include:

DAMAGED OUTLETS
The outlets in your home are your direct connection to the electrical grid. Whether you’re powering your device or using your appliances, a faulty outlet can lead to serious damage. We offer outlet replacement services and can help you leverage these receptacles for all your home needs. Most people are not aware that one of the most common causes of home electrical fires is a loose wiring connection behind the walls at an electrical outlet.

OUTDATED ELECTRICAL PANEL
If your panel is constantly flipping breakers or unable to accommodate any new appliances, there’s a problem. If your home’s electrical infrastructure isn’t ready for modern appliances, there’s a fix. Electrical panels can easily be upgraded and are one of the best modifications you can make in your home.

Lack of properly placed and operating smoke and carbon monoxide detectors

One of the simplest and most important safeguards for your home and family is properly operating smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. All smoke detectors should be tested and have their batteries changed on an annual basis. Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors should be replaced at least every 10 years.

LACK OF GFCI OUTLETS
Since the 1970’s GFCI outlets have been a requirement in all areas where water could be present. This includes kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms and outside. GFCI outlets are an important safety feature of all homes. They are designed to prevent shock and possible electrocution. It is important that your home is equipped with GFCI outlets where required and that they are checked for proper operation on an annual basis.

OLD WIRING
Faulty wiring is the leading cause of house fires. If your home is still using aluminum wiring, has cloth covered or knob and tube wiring or there’s exposed wiring sparking, you can count on our electricians for prompt and reliable wiring repairs.

OUTDATED LIGHTING
Looking to save on energy costs and add functionality to your home? It can start with lighting upgrades. Not only can our electricians help with new electrical installations for light fixtures, but also, we offer LED retrofits to help modernize your older home and save money on your electric bill.

OLD OUTLETS
Some older homes have outlets that were installed before three-pronged grounded outlets were common. You may look around your house and notice some or all the outlets have two parallel slots but lack a third. If your plugs are loose or fall out of the outlets, this can be a very serious safety hazard. Replacing your old and worn outlets is one of the quickest and least expensive updates you can make to your home to ensure the safety of your family and home.

How can you plug in your TV and other devices with three-pronged cables? We’ll establish a continuous electrical path to the main panel or install a ground-fault circuit interrupter outlet.

POOR OR LACK OF SURGE PROTECTION
While all homeowners have surge protectors for their electronics like TVs and laptops, it still doesn’t protect the main systems in your home. With a whole home surge protector installed at the panel, you can protect your entire home from any power grid issues.

If you want to be sure your home’s electrical system is up to code, be sure to schedule a safety inspection today. It can help you get on the path to a safer and more efficient home.
