5 Signs You Have an Electrical Problem at Home

Electrical problems don’t happen often but when they do, you can’t just ignore them because they won’t work themselves out. Considering that these problems can cause electrocution and severe property damage, you ought to deal with them as soon as possible. For Bailey & Shipp Electric, here are the signs that your system needs an immediate electrical repair.

What Are the Signs of Electrical Problems?


  • You Have Faulty Outlets or Switches - An electrical outlet that doesn’t power an appliance or a switch that doesn’t turn a light on should tip you off that something’s amiss. The device itself could be defective, or there could be loose wiring. Either way, it has to be checked professionally as it could be a shock hazard.
  • You Notice Your Circuit Breaker Trips Frequently -Circuit breakers are designed to turn off during electrical overloads to prevent wires from overheating and starting a fire. Most licensed residential electricians would say that the older they get, the more they tend to trip. You should call your professional Washington D.C. electrician when your circuit breaker cuts the electrical supply frequently, as that can be a cause for concern.
  • You Experience a Shock from Appliances - Some shocks come from static electricity, but feeling a mild tingle when touching an appliance is a different story. The culprit could be a ground fault in the equipment or faulty wiring. Take it seriously to avoid accidents.
  • You Smell Something Burning - A burning smell coming from light switches and electrical outlets can indicate many things, but one thing’s certain: it could potentially lead to a fire. Call in a qualified Washington D.C. electrical specialist to investigate the matter.
  • You Have Flickering Bulbs - When lights flicker, the problem is usually with the bulb or the fixture. However, don’t dismiss worn-out wiring. Only an experienced electrician can properly diagnose the problem and perform an apt repair.
