Call an electrician if you notice buzzing sounds or sparks from outlets, flickering lights, warm switches or outlets, electric shocks from appliances, frequent circuit breaker trips, unusual odors of power loss due to faulty wiring.

First, check with your neighbors to see if they have a power outage as well. If it is just your home, check your circuit breaker or fuse box. If you are not able to identify the issue, contact us for professional assistance. Contact your local utility company to see if others are affected.

A circuit breaker trips to protect your electrical system from overloads and short circuits. Frequent tripping may indicate an underlying issue such as faulty wiring or overloaded circuits. It’s always best to have a professional electrician diagnose and fix the problem.

Hiring a licensed electrician ensures the proper permit is obtained and the job will get inspected by a county official to ensure its safety.
