Should you wait? Or should you call right now? Here's how to tell:
When numerous houses lose power, the issue is a blown transformer or downed power lines. That's for the utility company to deal with, and there's very little we can do about it.
But when you're the only one without power, that's an indication something's gone wrong on your end. If you flip the breakers and verified that you paid your electrical costs this month, and you're still without power, give us a call. You have got a problem just a skilled electrical contractor can fix.
Never a great indication. Unplug everything connected to that outlet. Turn the breaker to shut off power to the outlet and call us immediately.
Older outlets are specifically susceptible to ending up being fire dangers. Loose screws, loose wiring, rust, and used metal all can trigger heat accumulation. At least, the outlet needs to be changed. Also, you'll want us to figure out whether there are other issues in your system that might trigger similar hazards.
In some cases you'll see the outlet trigger up. The spark will reoccur quickly, however do not ignore it! One little spark now can begin one deadly fire later.
That might be a difficult one to catch, because most people don't engage with their circuit box very much on a daily basis. However if you do occur to see heat originating from your circuit box it is essential to call us immediately. Again, that's is a fire waiting to happen.
Believe it or not, this one usually isn't a hard fix. It's a sign of a bad breaker or a loose wire. Often it's an indication of a far more severe problem. An expert needs to make that assessment.
Buzzing sounds from the breaker box are another indication of a loose wire or a bad breaker that can cause a fire. To some people, that may sound more like a humming sound.
Regardless of how you view the sound, it is typically a sign of a breaker that's refusing to trip. Breakers are supposed to trip when the circuit gets too hot. If the breaker is failing to do its job, then your wiring is dealing with heat and power loads it was never meant to manage. Shut off all power and call us right now.
This suggests one of three things: your electrical system is getting overloaded, you've got a short circuit, or you've got a ground fault. A number of 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 real in older houses, which aren't indicated to run almost as lots of electronic devices as we now rely on every day. The second 2 are extremely dangerous, and require attention right now.
