What Are the Signs You Need Electrical Repairs?

When should you call a licensed electrician for electrical repairs? Some warning signs are hard to miss, while others can be much more subtle. Being aware of both types can help you avoid serious safety risks and costly repairs down the line.

While things like frequent circuit breaker trips, loss of power, or sparking outlets should cause immediate concern, here are some of the less obvious signs to call our electricians:

Warm or vibrating wall plates: Outlets and switches should never feel warm to the touch or vibrate. These can signal loose wiring or overloads hidden behind the walls.
Buzzing sounds: A faint humming or buzzing coming from outlets, switches, or walls could indicate wiring issues that require fast attention.
Unusual energy bills: A sudden spike in your electricity bill without any major lifestyle changes could mean damaged circuits or inefficient electrical systems.
Outlets or switches that stop working: Even if it seems minor, a non-functioning outlet or switch could signal deeper wiring problems that could grow worse if ignored.

What Should You Do in an Electrical Emergency?

Electrical emergencies can pose serious safety hazards. If you’re experiencing flickering lights, exposed wires, burning smells, or a complete power loss, shut off your main breaker (if it’s safe) and contact us immediately.

Our licensed electricians are available for fast, responsive service to restore power, minimize damage, and facilitate a safe system recovery.

Do You Need a Permit for Electrical Work?

Most times, yes. When your new construction, remodel, or repair involves modifying or upgrading existing electrical systems, local codes require a permit. The good news? When you hire us, we’ll handle the entire permitting process on your behalf.

Let us take care of everything from filing the paperwork to securing approval before work begins. This keeps your project on schedule and ensures all work complies with our local building codes and safety regulations.

Should You Upgrade Your Electrical Panel?

If your panel is outdated, undersized, or showing signs of wear (such as tripping breakers, overheating, or visible rust), it’s time to upgrade. Modern homes and businesses often require more capacity to support appliances, smart systems, and electronics.

We’ll inspect your current setup and recommend a safe, code-compliant upgrade to meet today’s and tomorrow’s electrical demands.

How Often Should You Inspect Electrical Systems?

Residential electrical systems should be inspected at least once every 3 to 5 years or more frequently if your property is older or undergoing renovations. Regular inspections help identify outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, and worn components before they become dangerous.

In the following situations, it’s essential to schedule an inspection sooner rather than later:

Before buying or selling a property: Ensure the electrical system meets current codes and won’t require unexpected upgrades.
After a major renovation or installation: Confirm that all new wiring or electrical work was done safely and is up to standard.
Following storm or flooding damage: Assess for water damage, shorts, or compromised connections that pose fire risks.
If your system is over 30 years old: Aging electrical infrastructure may lack the capacity and safety features of modern standards.
When adding major appliances or smart systems: Upgrades like EV chargers, HVAC units, or home automation can strain outdated panels or circuits.

We offer electrical inspections that include checking panel integrity, outlet and switch function, wiring condition, and compliance with Smoky Lake building codes.

When Is Whole Home Rewiring Necessary?

Is your home over 40 years old, struggling to support its current electrical load, or powered by outdated, hazardous old knot and tube aluminum wires? Whole-home rewiring may be your safest option. Our electricians will assess your system, recommend upgrades, and complete all rewiring work to bring your home up to modern safety standards.

What Is Surge Protection and Why Is It Worth It?

Power surges from lightning bolts striking your building or a fluctuating utility grid can damage your devices and degrade your electrical system. Our whole-home or business surge protection systems shield sensitive electronics and wiring from unexpected spikes that can lead to the early destruction of vital appliances, wired fixtures, and smart systems.
