Diagnosing Electrical Problems

Do you think there’s something wrong with your home’s electrical system? Take a look at some of these common electrical problems below:

• Lights that flicker: This can signal broken wiring, loose light bulbs, or an overloaded circuit.
• Circuit breakers that have tripped: Recurrent trips could be an indication of malfunctioning breakers or overloaded circuits.
• Warm plugs or switches: This shows that there is bad wiring or that the circuits are overloaded, causing a significant fire hazard.
• Buzzing noises: Unusual humming or buzzing could be a sign of broken wiring or weak connections.
• Burning odours: If you smell something burning, your appliance could be overheating or confirm there is damaged wiring. Turn off the power and call a professional for assistance.
• Outlets not working: Broken outlets, tripped GFCIs, or improper wiring can all cause non-working outlets.
• Sparks: If you notice sparks when inserting or removing a plug, there may be an issue. Stop using the device and get help from a specialist.
• Regular bulb replacement: If light bulbs burn out quickly, there may be a problem with the wiring or voltage.

What is the First Thing to Consider in An Electrical Installation?

When planning an electrical installation for your home, there are actually a couple of things that need to be considered before moving forward with the electrical needs for your project. Here is a closer look at what you need to think about:

• Safety: When installing an electrical system, safety should always come first. It is crucial to guarantee the electrical system’s safety in order to prevent harm to individuals and property.
• Compliance with building codes: It’s important to follow local building codes and electrical regulations. Make sure your installation meets the necessary safety requirements.
• Professional installation: Have your electrical system designed and installed by a company with a professional and certified electrician to ensure the electrical project is completed correctly and safely.
• Appropriate component sizing: To manage the electrical load, choose breakers, wires, and other parts that are the right size. Circuit overloading might result in potential fires.
• Proper insulation: To lower the likelihood of electrical shocks and fires, make sure that the wire is adequately insulated and secured.

No matter the size or scope of the electrical project or the electrical panel upgrades you have in mind, working with a certified electrician is crucial. Attempting electrical work without the required knowledge and a professional electrical contractor can put you at risk of injuries or death.

What Does Old Electrical Wiring Look Like?

Knowing when to replace old electrical wiring in your home is important as it can help prevent home damage caused by electrical fires. Here’s how to tell if your home’s electrical wiring system is obsolete:

• Knob and tube wiring: Typically seen in homes constructed before the 1940s, knob and tube wiring contains ceramic knobs that support protective wires and tubes.
• Fabric-insulated wiring: This can appear as a woven or braided cloth surrounding that encases the wiring itself. 
• Aluminum wiring: Aluminum wiring is silver in colour and may have the appearance of rust on it.
• Exposed wiring: Occasionally, wiring may be seen on the exterior of walls or ceilings as opposed to being concealed inside a structure.
