Signs that Show It's Time to Call Your Emergency Electrician

Did you know that in the States, approximately 1000 people die of electrical injuries? Out of these, 400 constitutes high voltage electricity injuries, and about 5 to 300 are due to lightning. In addition to this, 30,000 injuries, albeit non-fatal, are caused by shock incidents.

 These statistics might shock you, but it is the reality. We care about you and your home and believe in providing the best electric repair in Tampa, FL to avoid such mishappenings. Often homeowners miss the little signs by their gadgets and appliances and avoid calling their electrician. It's very important to notice these signs, as it hardly takes any time for things to spiral down. 

Here are some of the signs indicating that it is time to call your emergency electrician:

• Burning Smell

Often, we might sense a burning smell lingering in our homes. Some of us dismiss it as the cooking happening in the kitchen. Burning should not be avoided at any costs. Even if it might just be vegetables burning, it is better to be safe than sorry. Wires get burnt and, in turn, damage the appliances and can also prove to cause fatal house fires. It is always best to turn the power off and wait for an electrician to resolve the matter.

• Flickering lights

Flickering lights should not be treated lightly. By flickering lights, we are not just talking about light bulbs and LEDs, but sometimes the light on your vacuum cleaner may flicker, indicating the appliance isn't working properly, or your circuit is overloaded due to too many appliances working together. It's best not to overload the circuit and try to do multiple tasks. Being patient and calm and seeking the help of your electrician is the best solution.

• Sparking

The naked eye might often miss noticing this, but often there can be tiny little sparks in your electrical box, which, if not treated immediately, can lead to huge disasters. Sparking can happen due to:

1. Overloaded circuit

2. Faulty connections

3. Loose wires

• Circuits getting tripped

A circuit breaker is present in every household and is a very important component of the electrical system. A circuit breaker ensures your house isn't overloaded with too many gadgets and appliances and shuts off when this often. If your circuit keeps getting tripped, it's best to call a professional to assess all appliances and their electrical load and usage.

These are just some of the signs. Problems can be caused by your fuse box, chimney, or your overall HVAC system too. The list is endless. But don't worry, we have got your back!
