Have you glanced over and seen smoke coming out of an outlet? If you answered yes, you need to understand that this is a very serious or even life-threatening event. That smoke means that there is a small fire inside the wall or floor of your home. And your first concern needs to be the safety of your family. Make sure everyone is prepared to evacuate your home if the situation gets any worse.
Homeowners understand that over the years, things wear out. But what can be confusing for most of us is knowing when some complex or technical items are nearing the end of their life expectancy. Most homeowners never touch things like their electrical panel or air conditioner. So we rely on professionals to provide us with indications that one of these critical components is wearing out or becoming unsafe. When you evaluate your home’s electrical panel, there are several tell-tale signs that you need to call your trusted electrician.
When you are relaxing in your home in some much-deserved peace and quiet, have you noticed an odd buzzing sound coming from your walls? It could also be a low humming sound, much like a vibration. But what you need to know is that this is not a typical sound you can just forget about. That annoying sound could be an indication of a severe problem with your home's electrical wiring, switches, or outlets that requires professional repair immediately. If left unrepaired, the result could be catastrophic.
