Signs You Need An Electrical Inspection
Did you know that electrical fires are responsible for over 13% of home fires in the United States? To put things into perspective, that accounts for over 51,000 fires every year occurring due to electrical distribution in the United States alone. Unfortunately, homeowners may oftentimes not be aware of the potential electrical dangers that they are surrounded by in their very own homes. For this reason, electrical inspections are critical for the safety of homeowners and their families. Below are a few signs that you should look out for. If you run into any of these sings, make sure to not ignore them and schedule an electrical inspection for your home as soon as possible, to prevent potential dangers and damages.
1. Flickering lights
Flickering lights are one of the most major signs to look out for when it comes to electrical safety. If you notice that your light bulbs are flickering, it usually means that there is an issue that has to do with other appliances attached to the same circuit. Certain appliances will need a certain amount of power to function. Such appliances are thus using more energy to work, and multiple heavy-duty appliances attached to the same circuit could be problematic and potentially dangerous. An electrical expert will be able to spot such issues and resolve them by attaching appliances to different circuits, to ensure the safety of you and your family.
2. Sparks
Sparks from your home's electrical system are never a good sign. This is a serious fire hazard - if you notice sparks from your home outlets or fuse boxes you should call an electrical expert straight away.
3. Burning Smell
If you notice a burning smell coming from any of your home's electrical outlets of fuse boxes, it is a sign that you need an electrical inspection to ensure your safety. In such scenarios, we strongly advise you to stop using the power and call an electrical expert to take a inspect the situation.
4. Strange Sounds
Your home's electrical circuits should not be making any strange sounds. If you notice sounds such as buzzing or humming coming from your electrical circuit, it could be a sign of defective appliances or loose and faulty interior electrical wiring.
