It is critical to ensure that your electrical systems are working smoothly in order to keep you and your family safe. Some may object to paying someone to come out and perform something that seems to be unneeded, but the possible danger is well worth the money and inconvenience.
It’s all too easy to overlook the dangers of electricity. We use it for practically everything, and it’s easy to take for granted. Calling an experienced electrician at the first sign of an issue could save you money and damage to your home.

For instance, if you find that every time you put your vacuum into a certain outlet, the breaker for that area trips, you should have an electrician investigate what is causing it to trip. If you have a breaker that trips on a daily or weekly basis and you don’t know why, contact a trained electrician.
When Using Appliances, the Lights Flicker
It’s time to contact an electrician if you notice your lights dimming or flickering when using appliances. What electricians usually ask when someone calls in is what else is connected into that outlet. If there is an overload caused by using too much electricity to operate certain appliances, tripping might occur.
If you detect dimming and there is nothing hooked into the socket, your circuit (https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-01sc-introduction-to-electrical-engineering-and-computer-science-i-spring-2011/pages/unit-3-circuits/circuits/) may be overloaded. Because there are so many possibilities in this circumstance, it’s best to contact an electrician to figure out what’s causing it.
When You Touch Your Outlets, They Get Warm
If you discover that the outlets are warm to the touch, don’t plug anything into them! The first thing you should do is cut off the electricity in your home and immediately contact an electrician.
Warm outlets are an indication that there is a possible electrical fire that might erupt at any moment. An electrician cannot stress enough how important it is that you turn off the electricity and promptly contact them.
When You Plug Things In, You Get Electric Shocks
Have you ever gone to plug anything in and felt a sharp and sudden zap. If you responded yes, you are surely not alone.

On the other hand, if you receive a shock virtually every time you touch the outlet, you should contact a trained electrician as soon as possible. While this might be due to defective wiring, damaged circuits, or a variety of other issues, it’s better to have an expert come out and assess the situation.
Strange Noises
Have you ever heard a faint or sometimes loud buzzing noise that you couldn’t place? Perhaps you’ve narrowed it down and discovered it’s coming from behind a wall. Many clients approach us because they hear a strange buzzing or humming sound and are unsure what it is.
Some individuals believe they are insane. When we explain why an electrical issue may be causing this, people begin to believe that we can finally address the situation. Frayed or faulty wiring may occasionally generate this noise.
It may also be caused by loose screws in the terminal. It is usually advisable to consult a professional electrician to assess any issue.

Your Electric Bill Continues to Rise
It’s not uncommon to see a rise in your power bill while you’re blasting your A/C unit during some of Australia’s warmest months. A high bill in January or February is typical, but a high bill in July may indicate a larger issue.
When you discover an abnormally high bill, the energy provider may not be hiking their rates. You might have a broken or inefficient electrical system that is causing your house to consume and waste more energy.
Examine your utility bills from the previous year. It’s common to see just a little increase over the course of a month or two. If your bill has been increasing on a regular basis, it’s time to contact someone.
