What Are the Most Common Electrical Issues in Homes?
There are many warning signs within your home’s electrical system to protect against danger. If any of these common issues are present in your home, call us immediately:
Blown Fuses
The breaker box in your property is a collection of switches. These switches protect against power surges. This safety system may occasionally need to be reset. This means a single blown fuse incident should not alarm you but when fuses are blown regularly, there may be an issue within the circuit or wiring that requires repair. Contact Sanborn’s if you have a fuse or breaker box in need of repair.
Flickering Lights
If lights are flickering or dimming within your home, you should contact the professionals to test and diagnose the electrical issue. There may be an issue at a switch, within the wiring or within the light fixture. Repairing flickering lights may prevent safety issues like broken light bulbs or broken switches.
Switches and Outlets That Shock You
Switches and electrical outlets are designed to safely engage the electricity flowing throughout your home. These should never produce an electrical shock when touched. Damaged, faulty or broken switches and outlets may damage devices, appliances and light fixtures within the system. Most notably, electricity is potentially dangerous to you and your family.
Broken GFCI
These switches are used in potentially dangerous locations because they monitor the balance of electricity moving through a circuit. At the first sign of surge, the switch disengages power to the outlet. This helps protect you, but the mechanism may eventually need to be replaced. If you cannot reset power to a GFCI or if a GFCI is constantly triggered, our team can quickly diagnose, repair or replace the problem.
Buzzing and Incessant Noises in Your Home
Sounds emitting from your electrical system are an important warning sign. There is no reason to investigate the cause of incessant buzzing within your electrical system. Instead, you should immediately call a professional to find the cause and perform the necessary electrical repairs at your home.
When Should You Call an Electrician to Repair Electrical Problems?
Electricity is extremely dangerous and potentially lethal. This is the primary reason the electrical system within your home features so many safety mechanisms. Damage to any component within this system is a valid reason to contact professional electricians.
