Common Electrical Problems and How to Fix Them

These are some of the most common electrical problems and the risks of letting them linger…

Flickering or Dimming Lights

Flickering lights may seem like a minor nuisance, but this issue can signal serious underlying problems such as loose wiring, damaged circuits, or an overloaded electrical system. Ignoring these signs could lead to electrical arcing, which increases the risk of a dangerous fire.

While some lighting issues might stem from loose bulbs that you can adjust yourself, anything beyond that should get professional attention. Our techs can inspect your home’s wiring and circuits to pinpoint the root cause and safely implement a long-term solution.

Tripped Circuit Breakers

Frequent breaker trips can mean your electrical panel is overloaded or that a circuit is carrying more current than it can handle. This can overheat the wires and potentially cause an electrical fire.

We can assess whether your panel needs an upgrade to meet modern energy demands. We’ll also check for faulty wiring or defective appliances that could be contributing to the problem.

Dead Outlets

When your outlets suddenly stop working, it could be due to internal wiring damage, a tripped GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter), or an overloaded circuit. Dead outlets can hide behind-the-scenes hazards like electrical shorts, which may spark fires if left unexamined.

Our techs will inspect the affected outlets and identify whether the issue stems from wiring, GFCI resets, or deeper electrical faults. We’ll replace damaged outlets and correct any unsafe connections.

Burning Smell or Scorched Outlets

Burning odors or discolored outlets are major red flags that indicate overheating, short circuits, or bad connections. This is an immediate safety concern, as these conditions could lead to fires.

Do not attempt a DIY solution if you notice these warning signs. Contact Malfettone Electric right away. We’ll work quickly to identify the source of the overheating and provide the necessary repairs to secure your home’s electrical system.
