Signs That You Should Call an Electrician

Most homeowners never think about their home’s electrical wiring until a problem arises. While you may feel comfortable handling DIY repair tasks around your house, most electrical repairs require a professional electrician to be performed safely, correctly, and in compliance with local building codes. If you’re experiencing any of these issues in your home, it’s time to give our trained electricians a call.

Outlets

Even a simple outlet upgrade can be dangerous if you lack the proper tools and training for the job. If an outlet stops working or does not seem to hold a plug tightly in place, this could be a sign of an outdated or overloaded wiring system, either of which could be a potential fire hazard. An outlet cover or switch plate that feels warm or hot to the touch is also a sign of a serious electrical problem. If you are ever shocked by a switch or outlet, call a professional electrician right away.

Lights

Flickering, buzzing, or dimming lights can be a sign of a fault in your wiring. If you notice that the lights flicker or dim each time you turn an appliance on, this can indicate an improperly wired or insufficient electrical panel. To be safe, an appliance that draws a strong current should be on a dedicated circuit.

Breaker Box

If the breakers in your home have been tripping more than usual, this could be a symptom of an overloaded breaker panel or a fault in your wiring. We strongly advise that you never attempt to work on your electrical panel yourself. Not only could you potentially create a dangerous situation, but you also risk running afoul of city safety codes. Also, if you notice humming or buzzing sounds coming from your breaker box, contact a professional electrician in Kelowna immediately. These sounds indicate that a breaker needs to trip but can’t — a scenario that poses a significant fire risk.
