Your breakers could be tripping for no apparent reason. Lights could be flickering or dimming with no discernible cause. Maybe your GFI plug is “popping” constantly and you have to continuously reset it. Maybe half of your lights are out, or even your stove, oven or dryer aren’t heating up. Or you just don’t know why some of your plugs aren’t working. There’s even electrical issues that you can’t see, such as outlets and wiring that are running hot, and maybe you smell electrical burning or they’re warm to the touch. Troubleshooting electrical issues require a very skilled electrician as electrical issues can lead to appliance damage, fires, or even personal injury.

Investigating an electrical issue that may seem small can lead to the discovery of additional problems within your electrical system, but it’s important to solve these problems before they cause catastrophic damage. Some of the common issues are faulty wiring, insulation too close to light fixtures causing them to heat up, old plugs and breakers, overloaded breakers and circuits.
