6 times you need an electrician

 

Introduction

Most of us tend to overlook electrical problems until they grow into a bigger problem. While this may be okay in certain cases, electrical problems should be fixed immediately to avoid serious accidents. Dealing with electrical wiring and fittings is dangerous, and you should not do it alone if you are unable to fix it.

The time when you need an electrician/electrical engineer

When you see flashes from your electrical outlet

If your outlet sparks when you use it, you should call in an electrician immediately. The appliance plugged into the socket may be fine, but the panel itself may be faulty. This can lead to electric shocks, short circuits or even a fire. To avoid these disasters, you should seek expert help.

If you are organising a meeting

If you're hosting a large gathering at home, hire an electrician to perform a standard check of all wiring, sockets and fittings. This will help you avoid the indignity of a power cut in the middle of the party and ensure the safety of your guests. If you're planning to bring additional lighting into your home for an event, an electrician will help you to ensure you don't overtax your home's electrical capacity.

Problems with circuit breakers

Overloaded circuits can lead to overheating or, in the worst case scenario, a fire in the home. Old circuit breakers are even more prone to failure. 

Don't try to repair the circuit board yourself - especially if you don't know anything about electricity. You could electrocute yourself or damage the panel further.

If the light at home seems to be weak

If you find that you can't see anything in your living room and wonder if day has turned to night, you may need more lighting to brighten up your room. You may also need to replace some of your light bulbs with more powerful ones to make everything brighter! If you need help with this, don't hesitate to contact a professional electrician/electrical engineer to help you bring more light into your life!

If machines stop working when they are plugged in

If you find that you have to hold your appliance in the socket to get it to work, you need an electrician/electrical engineer who can replace the socket to make better contact with your blender!

If your fluorescent tube no longer works

Even though replacing your fluorescent light bulb at home may seem like a simple task, it can cause frustration if the replacement doesn't work! It is not advisable to tinker with electrical appliances yourself and difficult tasks should be left to the experts.

Whilst many of these issues may seem minor and can be overlooked, it is advisable to contact a local electrician who can safely resolve these issues to avoid a blown fuse, fire or electrocution.
