How to fix the most common household electrical issues


There are many common electrical issues that can occur in homes, and it's important to address them promptly to ensure the safety of your household. Here are some common issues and how local electricians such as ourselves can fix them:

  1. Circuit breaker tripping: A circuit breaker is designed to trip when there is an overload of electricity in the circuit. This can happen when too many appliances are being used at once. An electrician can diagnose the problem and determine if a circuit upgrade or addition is needed.

  2. Outlets not working: This can be due to a faulty outlet or a problem with the wiring. An electrician can identify the issue and either repair or replace the outlet.

  3. Flickering lights: This can be caused by a faulty light fixture or wiring issues. An electrician can identify the issue and either repair or replace the light fixture or wiring.

  4. Electrical shocks: If you feel an electrical shock when you touch an appliance or switch, there may be an issue with the wiring or grounding. An electrician can identify the issue and repair the wiring or grounding.

  5. Burning smell: If you smell burning, turn off the electricity immediately and call an electrician. This could indicate a serious electrical issue such as overheated wiring or an overloaded circuit.

  6. Power outage: A power outage can be caused by many factors such as a storm, blown fuse, or faulty wiring. An electrician can identify the issue and repair the wiring or circuit to restore power.
