When the power goes out in your neighborhood, there isn't a lot you can do until it's turned back on by the hydro company unless you have a backup generator installed. The issue becomes a problem when your home is the only one without power. Rather than attempt to find the problem and fix it on your own, its best to give us a call for our professional assistance

A sign that there is damage to your electrical system or its working overtime is when home appliances frequently turn off on their own. These appliances can be plugged in, but when you want to use them and switch them on, the surge of electricity due to the greater power demands will cause the breaker to pop and switch everything off. 

By calling for professional help, we can determine whether the problem lies with damaged wiring or if you need another dedicated circuit to stop the over-draw on your electrical system.

Everyone knows dead outlets are annoying, but homeowners often overlook them, who just plug into the next one available. However, this can be a dangerous move. Dead outlets don't just stop working for no reason, and that reason can often be tied to a damaged electrical system.  The same goes for light switches, though homeowners usually don't ignore dead light switches as much as a dead outlet.

By having our electricians check out your dead outlets or light switches, we can determine if the problem is simply a loose wire or worn out and damaged parts that need replacing. 

The main job of a circuit breaker is to cut off the electricity to a specific circuit if power is being overdrawn. So, it's not too unusual to reset a popped breaker on occasion. But if you are starting to notice that one or more breakers are triggering or are difficult to reset, it may be a sign that there's a deeper issue with the panel or the overall electrical system. 

Especially, in this case, we recommend you contact us to check out your panel. Electrical panels are essential to the electrical system in your home and are highly dangerous, so it's best not to attempt a DIY fix.

A blinking or flickering light can simply be due to a loose or dying light globe. But if it's not the globe, there may be a loose wire, faulty light switch or a fault somewhere else in the electrical wiring of your light fixtures. If testing the globe doesn't work, you can give us a call, and we can help you troubleshoot the problem over the phone and have one of our electricians walk you through the troubleshooting process.

We know that electricity seems to do just about everything these days; the one thing it shouldn't be doing is making noise. If you think your electrical appliances are talking to you, then contact the manufacturer. If you hear buzzing coming from your lights or electrical panel, then it's definitely time to give us a call.

Sparks only fly when there's something malfunctioning. It is not only unsafe but it can put your entire home at risk of an electrical fire. Make sure to call our electric experts promptly if you see any sparks coming from electrical outlets such as ground fault electrical interrupters. 

If you feel the heat coming out of an outlet, it's time to call us. This typically means that something isn't wired correctly and needs rewiring.

If you have run your generator before, you should have a good idea of the sound a generator makes when it's providing you with power. If you notice abrupt changes in sounds, call our electrical repair specialist to get your generator back into working order.
