Residential Electrical Repairs and Troubleshooting Services in Colorado Springs
Are your lights flickering? Do your outlets feel hot to touch? These could be serious issues with your electrical system, or a quick and easy fix. The Electric Way is proud to offer the best home electrical repairs and troubleshooting services in Colorado Springs to address these very issues. Homes of all ages can require electrical repairs and troubleshooting, which is why it is important to have concerning electrical systems checked out by a residential electrician before problems become obvious or even dangerous.
Electricity should never smell, be seen, or make noise. These factors can indicate a dangerous electrical situation. Trying to resolve these sometimes-dangerous issues on your own may not be the best solution. If you are experiencing any of these factors your first step should be to turn off your electricity and call The Electric Way to schedule a technician for troubleshooting and repair services. Safety is always our #1 priority, so let us handle your residential electrical repair service needs, whatever it may be.
Common Reasons for Home Electrical Repairs and Troubleshooting
Flickering lights indicate a poor electrical connection which can lead to unsafe conditions for wiring, or exposed wiring.
Sparks from electrical outlets can be a harmless result of power being diverted to another appliance. If changing the appliance to another circuit does not remedy the situation, you are taking a serious chance with your safety. If too much heat builds up in an outlet, it can melt the insulation protecting the wires. As the wires become exposed, chances for an electrical fire increase, thus requiring home electrical repairs.
A circuit breaker trip indicates an overloaded circuit. It is often caused by too many high wattage items running at once. You can move an appliance to a different circuit, or you can have an electrician install an additional circuit to safely carry the load your appliances require.
A dead outlet means a new outlet needs to be installed. Nothing can restore a dead outlet. Damaged, discolored, or loose switch plates can indicate they are covering unsafe wiring.
In addition to the residential electrical repair service needs you have identified, a licensed electrician from The Electric Way will check the following:
- The electric meter for insecure insulation, broken meter seals, water, and rust;
- Outside wires for damage and fraying;
- Exposed inside wires, particularly hazardous in attics and basements;
- The main panel box housing the circuit breakers for corrosion, overheated components, improperly sized breakers, and other problems; and,
- Outlets and wall switches for safe carriage of electricity to all your lighting and appliances.
During a home electrical repair, you should also consult with the technician about the adequacy of your power outlets to meet the needs of your family’s electrical use. Our goal is to bring everything up to code and make sure you are 100% satisfied.
