Common Electrical Problems You Should Fix Immediately


For any major or minor electrical faults, we generally blame our nation's power system without even checking our home's wiring system. It may be due to an old wiring system that won't allow a sufficient supply of electricity to the appliances, lighting & electronics.

Therefore, if you are facing high electric bills, fluctuating lights, etc at your home, first you have to make sure that your home circuit is working properly. 

Here, we have mentioned some common electrical problems:

 

Overloading

Sometimes we use a higher watt bulb or other appliances than the watt mentioned in the socket. As a result, the spark will produce inside the socket from one wire to another & causes electrical fire.


An Uncovered Junction Box

A junction box has a lot of wires connected to each other. If it is not covered properly, the person gets a shock from the damaged wire. It is very dangerous especially if you have kids at your home. 

Therefore, it is better to cover it with the provided screws.


Flickering Lights

You might experience fluctuation at your place especially if it is windy outside. It can produce a short when the cables move. 

So, do not wait & immediately contact an electrician to get the Weatherhead replaced.

Switches Not Working

It is quite a common issue at our places that we experience loose switch issues. It might be due to a fault in the wiring, circuit, or outlet.

In this case, get in touch with an electrician.


Circuit Tripping

Whenever you are using two high-power-consuming appliances simultaneously, there might be a chance of tripping the circuit. 

It is a good sign that your home is safe, you just need to check the cause of tripping & try to use a low setting.


Electric Shocks

When the electricity is not used properly or if the circuits are fitted during the old days, there is a chance of electric shocks when you switch off or on the electric appliances.


Frequent Burning Of Light Bulbs

If your light bulbs are burning frequently, the reason behind this issue is:

  • High Watt

  • Poor wiring

  • More wattage appliance on a dimmer switch

  • Insulation is near to the light

Most of the electrical dangers could be controlled if you have installed quality electrical products & good wiring at your place.
