Boyce Electricians is one of Boyce's only true 24/7 team of emergency situation electricians. Many electrical contractors use answering services, and many only can and only will arrange you for service in the morning.
Range and traffic allowing, we do our best to make it to your location within one hour. Also, we don't charge extra even if you have an emergency situation.
Should you wait? Or should you call right away? Here's how to tell:
When lots of homes lose power, the problem is a blown transformer or downed power lines. That's for the utility business to work on, and there's very little we can do about it.
However when you're the only one without power, that's a sign something's failed on your end. If you turn the breakers and confirmed that you paid your electric costs this month, and you're still without power, give us a call. You've got an issue only a knowledgeable electrical contractor can solve.
Never a good indication. Unplug everything connected to that outlet. Flip the breaker to turn off power to the outlet and call us immediately.
Older outlets are specifically prone to ending up being fire hazards. Loose screws, loose circuitry, rust, and used metal all can trigger heat buildup. At least, the outlet needs to be replaced. Also, you'll want us to figure out whether there are other problems in your system that could trigger comparable hazards.
In some cases you'll see the outlet spark up. The spark will reoccur quickly, but do not ignore it! One little trigger now can start one lethal fire later on.
That might be a tough one to capture, because many people don't connect with their service panels very much on an everyday basis. However if you do happen to discover heat originating from your circuit box it's important to call us immediately. Once again, that's is a fire waiting to occur.
Think it or not, this one generally isn't a difficult repair. It suggests a bad breaker or a loose wire. Often it's a sign of a far more serious problem. An expert needs to make that assessment.
Buzzing sounds from the breaker box are another sign of a loose wire or a bad breaker that can cause a fire. To some people, that may sound more like a humming sound.
Despite how you perceive the sound, it is normally a sign of a breaker that's declining to trip. Breakers are supposed to trip when the circuit gets too hot. Your circuitry is dealing with heat and power loads it was never meant to manage if the breaker is stopping working to do its task. Shut off all power and call us immediately.
This implies among 3 things: your electrical system is getting overloaded, you've got a short circuit, or you have got a ground fault. Several aspects of your electrical system might have gone wrong to produce those problems.
The very first is fairly safe, but it's a hint your system needs an upgrade. That is particularly true in older homes, which aren't indicated to run nearly as lots of electronic devices as we now count on every day. The 2nd two are extremely unsafe, and require attention right now.
