Don't risk it! We identify the key warning signs in your home's wiring that require immediate professional attention.
Electrical issues are among the most dangerous home maintenance problems. Attempting DIY fixes can lead to severe injury or fire. Knowing when to call a certified electrician is crucial for your safety.
Flickering Lights
If your lights flicker or dim regularly, it could indicate a circuit overload or loose wiring. This is a common sign that your system needs a checkup.
Buzzing Outlets
Outlets should be silent. A buzzing sound often points to loose connections or faulty wiring behind the wall. Stop using the outlet and call a pro.
Burning Smell
A plastic burning smell is an immediate emergency. It likely means wires are overheating and melting their insulation. Turn off the power and call for help immediately.
