This happens when a circuit is overloaded with too many appliances or devices, causing the breaker to trip as a safety measure. It's one of the most frequent calls, especially in older homes or offices.
Dead outlets, loose switches, or sparking can indicate internal wiring issues, wear and tear, or poor installation - all common and important to fix promptly.
This can be caused by loose wiring, poor connections, defective transformers, or using the wrong type of bulb. Persistent flickering may also signal more serious electrical issues that require professional attention.
When certain parts of a home lose power while others remain functional, it often points to wiring faults, damaged circuits, or faulty breakers.
Relying too heavily on multi-plug adaptors can cause overheating, fire risk, and long-term damage to circuits. Electricians are often called in to install additional outlets or rewire safely.
Even a mild shock when plugging in a device can signal faulty wiring or grounding issues – and it’s not something to ignore. This can also occur with appliances like washing machines or dishwashers if they’re defective or the earth wire hasn’t been connected properly.
Buzzing or humming is not normal. It can be a sign of loose wiring, bad connections, defective electrical components or even arcing, which poses a serious fire hazard.
If an outlet or switch plate feels warm to the touch or shows signs of discoloration, it could mean overheating behind the scenes. This might be due to overloaded circuits, faulty wiring, or poor connections – all of which require a professional inspection before they become dangerous.
