Is your electrical problem an emergency situation?

Should you wait? Or should you call right now? Here's how to tell:

Your house is the only one on your street without power = emergency situation

When numerous houses lose power, the issue is a blown transformer or downed power lines. That's for the utility company to work on, and there's very little we can do about it.

However when you're the only one without power, that's an indication something's failed on your end. If you turn the breakers and validated that you paid your electric costs this month, and you're still without power, give us a call. You have got an issue only a knowledgeable electrical contractor can solve.

You smell something burning, or you see brown marks on your outlets = emergency situation

Never a great sign. Disconnect whatever attached to that outlet. Turn the breaker to switch off power to the outlet and call us right now.

Older outlets are particularly susceptible to becoming fire hazards. Loose screws, loose wiring, rust, and worn metal all can trigger heat buildup. At least, the outlet needs to be replaced. Likewise, you'll want us to determine whether there are other issues in your system that might cause comparable hazards.

In some cases you'll see the outlet stimulate up. The trigger will come and go quickly, however do not ignore it! One small trigger now can start one lethal fire later.

Your service panel is hot = emergency situation

That might be a tough one to catch, due to the majority of people do not connect with their circuit box quite on an everyday basis. If you do take place to see heat emanating from your service panel it's important to call us right away. Again, that's is a fire waiting to happen.

Believe it or not, this one usually isn't a difficult repair. It suggests a bad breaker or a loose wire. But often it suggests an even more serious issue. A professional needs to make that evaluation.

Your electrical box is singing to you = emergency

Buzzing noises from the breaker box are another sign of a loose wire or a bad breaker that can trigger a fire. To some individuals, that might sound more like a humming sound.

No matter how you view the noise, it is generally a sign of a breaker that's declining to trip. Breakers are supposed to trip when the circuit overheats. If the breaker is stopping working to do its task, then your electrical wiring is handling heat and power loads it was never implied to handle. Turn off all power and call us right now.

The breakers keep tripping = emergency situation

This means one of three things: your electrical system is getting overloaded, you have got a short circuit, or you have got a ground fault. Several components of your electrical system might have failed to produce those problems.

The first is reasonably safe, but it's a hint your system needs an update. That is specifically true in older houses, which aren't implied to run nearly as many electronic devices as we now depend on every day. The second 2 are very hazardous, and require attention immediately.
