| Flicking lights can be a sign of trouble! |
So it would seem that you should know when you need an
electrician but that isn’t always true! Right here are 8 signs or reasons that
you need a qualified electrician.
1. You have lights that flicker. The most basic part of this
is that if a light bulb is flickering you might simply need to replace the defective
light bulb. If after changing the light bulb you find that the light bulb still
flickers (annoying at best), you may have an electrical wiring issue. Time to
switch off that light; as well as, pick up the phone and make that call to a qualified
electrician!
2. A tripping electrical circuit breaker. Breakers are there
for a very good reason and if they are tripping then you most certainly have a
serious issue! This could be very dangerous scenario which could lead to a
house fire. Time to make that call!
3. At any time or place that you experience a shock from an
appliance or when using an electrical appliance you need a qualified
electrician! Electrical socks can seriously injure you or even kill you! They can
also result in a home fire. Truly NOW THIS is the moment to call that qualified
electrical expert!!!!
4. If you hear “buzzing” and you know you don’t have bees in
the walls then most likely you have an electrical wiring issue. That buzzing is
most likely caused by electrical wiring too close to each other or the
insulation is breaking down. At any rate it’s time to make that phone call to qualified
electrical expert!!!! Don’t waste anytime but go make that call!
5. If you have any discolored or burned electrical outlets…
Don't use them! And you know what time it is.. Make that PHONE CALL! This type
of issue could bring about a home fire and or perhaps a fatal shock!
6. If you smell something burning and you know you're are
not cooking! A burning odor isn't great and you need to make that PHONE CALL
TODAY!
7. If you notice any type of heat around plug outlets or
light fixtures. This means you have issues for example… with a plugin
appliances like a blender or food processor. When you utilize the mixer does it
get really warm or over heat? Make that TELEPHONE CALL NOW. Your qualified
electrician won’t fix your appliance but can check to see if the outlets and
wiring are working properly. Regardless, MAKE THAT CALL!
8. If you ever see sparks or flames coming from an
electrical wall socket, light fixtures or the like… guess what. It’s time to
pick up the phone and make that CALL NOW.
In closing, if you see or experience any of these issues
then you know what to do… make that call! It’s important to understand when you
need a qualified electrician or when not. So, if you should have any questions
with this please give us a call or email.
