As a homeowner, you have to make some repairs to your house. You can attempt to make the necessary fixes for most things, except for electrical issues. If you believe there is an electrical problem in your building, contact a commercial electrical company. According to the NFPA, the second leading cause of home fires in the U.S. between 2012 - 2016 was electrical failure or malfunction. This was second behind fires caused by unattended equipment. This accounted for 13% of all home structure fires. Here are some signs that indicate you need to call an electrician.
It is time to contact a commercial electrical company when the circuits in your circuit breaker are regularly tripping. The breaker box pulls in power from the street and sends it to all the outlets in your home. They have a safety override feature that trips the circuit if the system is overloaded. For example, the circuit could trip if you have too many things plugged into one outlet. However, if that is not the cause and it happens regularly, contact a professional commercial electrical company. If there is a problem with the breaker box and it is ignored, it can cause an electrical fire.
You should check your fuse box monthly to ensure it is in good working order. If there are any signed wires, you should contact a commercial electrical company. If there are damaged or singed wires, they could cause problems in your fuse box. This is also a fire hazard.
If you notice that your lights flicker or dim while you are using appliances, you should contact a commercial electrical company. This may not be a significant concern, but it could also signify a bigger problem. To be sure, contact a professional to have your electrical system assessed. For example, it could be that you have too many items plugged into the same outlet. However, it could be a sign that you have wires that are wearing down.
Whenever you notice an electrical problem in your home or building, it is wise to contact a professional commercial electrical company like Rady's Electric to assess your electrical system. While it may not be a huge concern, it is best to have a professional opinion to not lead to a fire.
