Six Signs You May Need Electrical Repairs

As a homeowner, you know there are dozens of things that can go wrong inside your home’s systems. Many of those problems can be solved by a savvy homeowner with a few tools and some basic DIY knowledge. But most electrical issues require professional electrical repair and services. In fact, depending on the repair, it may be illegal to attempt the job yourself if you are not a licensed electrician.

Why take the chance? For your personal safety and the safety of your property, it is always a good idea to call Asbury Electric. Our electricians are experienced in all types of repair and maintenance.

The severity of an electrical problem isn’t always obvious. The signs of trouble can be minor and easily overlooked. Unfortunately, this is why some issues go undetected until they cause a bigger pain. 

It’s best to take care of electrical problems as soon as possible. A delaying repair can create unsafe conditions in your home and end up costing more in the long run. 

It is time to call a professional if you are experiencing any of the following electrical problems:

Flickering Lights

When lights flicker or dim unexpectedly, it can be a sign that they were not installed correctly. Mistakes like packing the insulation around the fixture too tightly or not making the right connections can trap heat around the fixture, which can cause it to malfunction. Incorrectly installed lighting fixtures can also cause short-circuiting, sparks, and even fire. Your home’s electrical wiring can also play a part in flickering lights. Flickering lights may be an indication of faulty wiring.

Blown Fuses

Replacing a blown fuse is simple, but discovering why the fuse blew in the first place requires the knowledge of an experienced electrician.  If fuses are frequently blowing inside of your electrical panel, call Asbury Electric. We will determine the cause and advise you on procedures for repair.

Water Damage

Flooding and leaking pipes can cause extensive damage to a home and they can significantly impact the electrical system. If your house has suffered water damage for any reason, electrical repairs may be needed. Water stains in the ceiling or walls should always be carefully inspected, too.

Loose Outlets

You may not realize it’s a red flag, but there should never be wiggling when you plug and unplug an appliance from an outlet. Loose wiring inside an outlet is a sign of incorrect installation and outlet repair should be performed immediately.

Hot or sparking outlets, faulty connections, and shorts are nothing to fool around with. It could be that the source of your problem is right at the outlet. We’ll be in and out in less than an hour, and you’ll rest easy at night knowing your home and your family are safe. Or, it may turn out that your electrical problem is much more serious. If that’s the case, we’ll diagnose it, give you a fair estimate for fixing it, and move as quickly as possible to make high-quality repairs.

Buzzing Sounds

No, it’s not normal for light fixtures or outlets to make a buzzing noise. Buzzing is a sign of a dangerous connection, which can lead to sparking, melting wires, or a fire. Any buzzing noises inside your home should be inspected by a qualified electrician right away.

Malfunctioning Appliances

If the major appliances in your home aren’t functioning correctly, the problem may be electrical and not with the appliance itself. Before you spend money on that new appliance, make sure that your electrical system is working correctly.


When Do I Need a 24-Hour Electrician?

Electrical emergencies can be frightening, and some can even be dangerous.  Asbury Electric provides 24-hour services so that we can make any emergency repairs necessary to keep your home safe and running efficiently.

Keep in mind that if you’ve got appliances or light fixtures that are malfunctioning, the problem might be with your electrical system. And if you’ve had any water damage, you should have someone take a look at your electrical system to make sure it is still in proper working order.

Call us if you’re experiencing any of the following issues:

Electrical Wiring and Rewiring

Your home’s electrical wiring is essential to functionality and safety. Faulty wiring can lead to unexpected shocks and even fires, so it’s important that it’s done correctly.

We pride ourselves on handling each job with precision, attention to detail, and superior craftsmanship, from electrical installations to remodels. Our dedication to our work earned us the honor of being a top-rated local and Angi’s top-recommended electrical contractor.

As needs change, homes grow, and technology advances, you may find yourself in need of electrical wiring for your home to accommodate changes. At Asbury Electric, we’re here to optimize your home for maximum enjoyment and comfort. Beyond initial installations, you can also reach out for help with:

  • Circuit breaker installations
  • Entertainment center wiring
  • Computer wiring
  • Hot tub wiring

If your next home project involves electrical wiring, we have the skills and experience to get the job done right.

Outdated and faulty wiring are the two biggest reasons to rewire your home. It’s a big project but a critically important one, especially if your home meets certain requirements. How do you know if your home needs rewiring? If any of the following problems are familiar to you, it’s time to give us a call.

Burnt Outlet Covers

Burnt outlet covers result from loose connections or degraded wiring. Burnt or discolored outlets are a significant indicator that your home needs rewiring. Loose connections mean electricity is escaping in the form of sparks, which can lead to fires and electrical shocks. When you notice burnt outlet covers, turn to us to fix the underlying issue.

Burning Smells

A burning smell in your home that you can’t place may result from a defect in your wiring. This smell indicates that one of those sparking wires that heated your outlets has also burned something within your walls that you can’t see. Contact us immediately if you detect this smell.

Flickering Lights

Flickering lights are more than just an annoying quirk of an old house. These lights demonstrate that your electrical wiring isn’t holding up to the job like it used to. Flickering lights may come from faulty wiring and damaged circuits, which indicate that your home is a candidate for rewiring.

Old Wiring

Homes built before the 1970s used different wiring standards than today and require rewiring for electrical safety. These homes were often wired with aluminum. While aluminum is cheaper and a known conductor of electricity, it doesn’t hold up as well as the copper used in homes today.

Aluminum expands when heated and contracts as it cools. The constant movement and activity eventually lead to loose connections as wires shift away from their connections and arc.

Aluminum is also prone to rust and corrosion. As the wiring breaks down over time, it restricts the flow of electricity.

Worried about faulty wiring or insufficient power in your home?

Asbury Electric’s residential wiring and rewiring services provide peace of mind and a reliable electrical system for your family.

GFCI Outlet Installations

A lot of home electrical safety requirements changed in the 1970s. In addition to making the change from aluminum to copper wiring, GFCI outlets also became a requirement. Ground-fault circuit interrupter outlets are explicitly designed to prevent electrocution, which is why they’re required at crucial points within your home, namely any place near water. GFCIs quickly detect power surges and shut off to prevent shocks.

Asbury Electric uses high-quality breaker panels with all copper bus bars and only copper wiring. This prevents issues from happening for decades to come. These outlets are required anywhere electricity and water are present, including:

  • Kitchens
  • Laundry rooms
  • Crawl spaces
  • Bathrooms
  • Garages

Our electricians can install GFCIs to bring an older home up to code or add GFCIs to a new addition. We also install these outlets for hot tub circuits or wet bar outlets.

Ceiling Fan Installation

Ceiling fans bolster the airflow in your home, keeping you cool. They also contribute to the overall aesthetic of your space. Our expert electricians install these heavy and bulky fans quickly, safely, and at a reasonable rate. We’ll do the job for you to prevent the risk of injury.

EV Car Charger Installation

Electric cars are becoming increasingly popular as technology advances. If you own one of these modern eco-friendly vehicles or are thinking about purchasing one, you will need a home electric vehicle (EV) charger.

While charging stations are an asset on road trips, you’ll likely want to charge your car from the comfort of your own home most of the time.

The experienced electricians at Asbury Electric are your local experts at EV car charger installations. We install simple chargers that plug directly into your existing system. Our electricians can also provide larger and more complex charger installations for your home. We’re here to assess your home’s electrical needs before performing the installation that is both safe and efficient.
