THE IMPORTANCE OF AN EMERGENCY ELECTRICIAN
Regardless of whether you’re a homeowner or commercial property owner, there will come a time when your electrical system needs attention. Getting an electrical problem fixed by an electrician is a great way to ensure your safety and save money in the long run.
The following are a few signs you might need to call an emergency electrician:
POWER OUTAGE
A majority of power outages are unplanned events. If it has been determined that there is no power outage from the power company, and everyone around you has power, it may be something isolated to your home or business. If this occurs you should call MANNS Electric Corp. One of our licensed electricians will arrive and determine what is causing the problem and inform you what it will take to get your power restored.
BLACK SMUDGES AND SMOKE ON ELECTRICAL OUTLETS OR SWITCHES
When your electrical outlets or switches start having black smudges, smoke or rusty marks on them, you should contact an emergency electrician right away. This is because the electrical wiring behind the faceplate might be in danger of overheating. If left to fester, it could result in an electrical fire which is not only dangerous but also a risk to your home and loved ones.
FLICKERING LIGHTS ON CIRCUIT BREAKERS
If you notice that the lights flicker or change their intensity in the middle of the night, this is a sign you need to get your circuit breaker checked out by an emergency electrician. This is because the lights may be overloaded, or there might be a short circuit in the electrical wiring.
When you need an emergency electrician, be sure to choose one that’s available 24 hours a day. This is because electrical emergencies can happen anytime, and having a professional who’s available during those hours will be a huge relief to you and your family.
ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL
An electrical burning smell in your home or business can be a terrifying experience, especially if you aren’t sure where it is coming from. But don’t panic – there are a few things you can do to get it under control and keep your home or business safe.
First, shut off the electricity in the area where the odor is coming from. You can do this by flipping a switch or removing a fuse in your circuit breaker box.
If you can’t find the source of the odor, call MANNS Electric immediately and have us come out and inspect your electrical system. We will be able to tell you what the problem is and give you a solution.
Second, if you have an outlet that has a burning smell, make sure to check for other damaged or broken outlets throughout your home. This may be caused by a cracked socket, a faulty wiring or other issues with your home’s electrical system.
Third, if you can’t find the source of the smoke and you feel like something is catching on fire, turn off your house or business power and call MANNS Electric right away. An electrician will be able to identify the cause of your problem and fix it quickly so that you don’t have to worry about your home or business’ electrical safety anymore!
