Distance and traffic allowing, we do our best to make it to your place within one hour. Likewise, we do not charge additional just because you have an emergency situation.
Should you wait? Or should you call right away? Here's how to tell:
When many houses lose power, the issue is a blown transformer or downed power lines. That's for the energy company to work on, and there's not much we can do about it.
However when you're the only one without power, that's an indication something's failed on your end. If you turn the breakers and verified that you paid your electric expense this month, and you're still without power, give us a call. You have got a problem only an experienced electrician can fix.
Never an excellent sign. Unplug everything attached to that outlet. Flip the breaker to turn off power to the outlet and call us right now.
Older outlets are particularly prone to becoming fire dangers. Loose screws, loose electrical wiring, rust, and used metal all can cause heat accumulation. At the minimum, the outlet needs to be changed. Also, you'll want us to identify whether there are other issues in your system that could cause comparable threats.
Often you'll see the outlet stimulate up. The stimulate will reoccur quickly, however don't ignore it! One little spark now can begin one deadly fire later.
That might be a hard one to catch, because most people don't communicate with their service panels quite on a day-to-day basis. But if you do happen to notice heat originating from your circuit box it's important to call us immediately. Once again, that's is a fire waiting to happen.
Believe it or not, this one typically isn't a difficult repair. It's a sign of a loose wire or a bad breaker. However sometimes it's a sign of a much more serious issue. A professional needs to make that examination.
Buzzing noises from the breaker box are another sign of a loose wire or a bad breaker that can trigger a fire. To some individuals, that may sound more like a humming noise.
Regardless of how you perceive the noise, it is normally a sign of a breaker that's refusing to trip. Breakers are supposed to trip when the circuit gets too hot. If the breaker is stopping working to do its job, then your circuitry is managing heat and power loads it was never meant to deal with. Shut off all power and call us right away.
This suggests among 3 things: your electrical system is getting overloaded, you have got a short circuit, or you have got a ground fault. Several components of your electrical system might have failed to produce those problems.
The first is relatively safe, but it's a hint your system requires an upgrade. That is particularly true in older homes, which aren't meant to run almost as many electronics as we now rely on every day. The 2nd two are extremely unsafe, and need attention immediately.
