Keeping your home safe and functioning properly is a top priority for any homeowner. But did you know that your electrical system also needs regular checkups to ensure everything is working safely and efficiently? Just like scheduling maintenance for your car, scheduling an electrical inspection can prevent future problems and give you peace of mind.

Here are 5 common signs that your home might be due for an electrical inspection:

  1. Flickering or Dimming Lights: Lights that dim or flicker can be a sign of loose wiring, overloaded circuits, or even a failing electrical panel. Don't ignore this warning sign – it could indicate a potential fire hazard.

  2. Buzzing Sounds: If you hear a buzzing sound coming from outlets, switches, or appliances, it's a red flag. This buzzing could indicate loose wiring, overloaded circuits, or even faulty appliances.

  3. Burning Smells:  A burning plastic or rubber smell coming from your electrical system is a serious cause for concern. This smell could indicate overheating wires or components, which can lead to electrical fires.

  4. Warm Outlets or Switches:  Warm or hot outlets and switches are a danger sign. This can indicate loose wiring or overloaded circuits, both of which can pose a fire hazard.

  5. Frequent Tripping of Circuit Breakers:  Circuit breakers are designed to trip and cut off power in case of overload. If your circuit breakers are tripping frequently, it's a sign that your circuits are overloaded. This can damage appliances and electrical components, and even lead to fires.
