Warning signs of electrical fires

 


The words 'electrical fire' are in themselves sufficient to alert you to the possibility of a house fire. How many times have you heard reports of houses going up in flames due to a short circuit?

Do you know why fires almost always occur? Because people do not pay attention to electrical maintenance and repairs when they should.

To make sure you can protect the safety of your family and loved ones, we have listed below some warning signs for an electrical fire. Be sure to have this checked by an electrician before it is too late.

Burning smell

Have you ever felt a strong burning smell, but not thought about it, thinking it was coming from your neighbours?

Pay attention when you smell something burning and immediately seek out a trusted technician for electrical maintenance or repair. If you can locate the source of the smell, turn off the power immediately before things get worse. If, on the other hand, you cannot figure out what is burning, without wasting time, call an experienced electrician to take a look.

The circuit breaker keeps tripping

The job of a circuit breaker is to prevent electrical fires and to cut off access to current to prevent a short circuit from occurring. If your circuit breaker keeps tripping, it means that it is trying to tell you something. Before calling electrical maintenance, you can try to solve the problem yourself.

Check whether an electrical repair is needed and whether all your appliances are on one circuit. If the above things are OK, it is possible that a short circuit has occurred somewhere in the wiring. In this case, you should contact an electrician.

Damaged or old wiring

Is your house 40-50 years old and you are not sure whether electrical maintenance was routine before you moved in? If so, it is important to carry out an electrical repair every few years to avoid a fire.

Damaged or old cables are one of the most common reasons why electrical fires occur, which is why replacing them is a good idea. If you are not sure how old your wiring is, contact a trusted electrician who will provide you with all the wiring expertise.

When you start hearing noises in the water pipes, these can be caused by air or lack of air, obstructions and blockages in the water line. Here are some steps you can take to identify the problem. Water hammer Water hammer is a dull sound that results from the sudden pressurisation of the water line caused by the rapid closing of a tap or other water valve. The water rises rapidly, causing a loud hammering sound in the pipes. This damages the pipes over time. Water hammer only occurs when water is not flowing. You can rule out water hammer if you hear the noise while the water is flowing. Shut off the water supply to your house and drain the water from the pipes by opening a low tap, such as an outside tap or a tub.
