Importance of Electrical Problems

Troubleshooting electrical wiring problems in your home is important. Electrical problems like loose connections, flickering lights, and overheated switches can result in electrical fires. Improperly wired lights and appliances put your family and property at greater risk in the event of a fire. If your lights dim when appliances are turned on, the cause could be that you have too many electrical devices drawing power from one circuit. If plugging some devices into receptacles on other circuits doesn’t solve the problem, you may have to upgrade your home’s electrical service panel.

Electrical troubleshooting is usually not a job for a handyman. It takes a foundational understanding of electricity, practice, and experience to troubleshoot electrical wiring and electrical problems. If electrical repairs are not handled correctly they could even be hazardous. Allspark Electric in the bay area specializes in troubleshooting electrical problems. We have years of experience and will work with you to solve your electrical problem correctly and safely.

For today’s electrical needs, a main electrical panel should deliver 100 amps of power or more; 150- or 200-amp services are even better for homes fitted with generous lighting and electrical amenities. A main panel smaller than 100 amps may be overloaded, which can cause lights to dim when appliances kick on and lead to frequent home power outages. If this is the case for your home, learn more about getting a larger electrical service panel.
