Electrical questions, answered by experts

A safe home is priceless, so upgrading your electrical panel, if you need to, is always worth the cost. The primary benefit of upgrading your electrical panel is preventing fire and other electrical hazards. A malfunctioning panel can cause electrical fires and other issues if not resolved quickly, so upgrading your panel is essential to keep household members safe.

Aside from safety and increased peace of mind, this upgrade guarantees a steady flow of electricity to all corners of your home. That way, you can say goodbye to flickering lights and flipping breakers constantly. An upgraded electrical panel lets you connect additional appliances without worrying about tripping your breaker or blowing fuses.

The process of hiring a reliable electrician begins by searching for local professionals and verifying that they hold a master electrician certification and the proper licensing for your area. After that, you should read through reviews from past customers to see the kind of service you can expect from the contractor, as well as look at the Better Business Bureau’s (BBB) website to check for a history of company complaints. You can also ask for customer references to make sure you’re choosing a reputable professional.

If you find yourself flicking the switch multiple times before your light comes on or if it slides down after you flip it on, these could be signs the switch is bad. Similarly, if the switch is making a crackling, buzzing, or popping sound when you flip it, you should consider replacing it. 

Sometimes, a bad light switch can present a fire or shock hazard. If the switch feels hot, sparks, smells like it’s burning, or is smoking, stop using it immediately and call an electrician.

Grounded electrical outlets are usually three-pronged. You can also look for a grounding clip in your outlet boxes or use a circuit tester. If you’re unsure, consult a suitably qualified electrician regarding your home's electrical safety.

A correctly functioning outlet will not cause a fire risk if nothing is plugged in. However, if the circuit is overloaded or there is a fault with the outlet, the connecting wiring, or the circuit it is attached to, this can lead to the risk of fire or electrocution, even when nothing is plugged in. Turn off the circuit breaker immediately and seek professional assistance if you suspect a fault.
