Signs you need to call a professional electrical service are dependent on the system malfunctioning.  The electrical system includes lights, appliances, computers, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system.  Emergency systems like sump pumps, alarm systems, and dehumidifiers operate on electrical power.  Professional electrical technicians can safely repair the electrical system before complete failure occurs if you know the early warning signs.

Inspection

Minor problems ignored can become major repairs.   An electrical inspection when purchasing the property is crucial to proper operation and safety from fire.  If the electrical system was not installed correctly or was obsolete, replacement is the only safe option.  Each appliance in the kitchen and laundry room should be on its own circuit in the breaker box.  Each outlet should be grounded to prevent electrical fires.   Extension cords should not be used as permanent wiring.  A home electrical inspection will ensure that all electrical wiring is suitable for its intended use and conditions in which it is operated and only used for its intended purpose.

Hazards

Arching and sparking when equipment is turned on is a hazard. The main hazards of working with electricity are electric shock or burns from contact with live parts, injury from exposure to arching, fire from faulty electrical equipment, faulty installations, and explosion caused by unsuitable electrical apparatus or static electricity igniting vapors or dust.  Electrical shocks can cause falls from scaffolds or ladders. Trailing wires or cords can be trip hazards.

Signs

The power requirements of a piece of equipment will be shown on its rating plate.  Always check that the voltage is correct and that the supply can deliver the required current.  Blinking lights, dim lights, and frequently burnt-out bulbs are signs of a problem.  Frequently tripped circuit breakers, non-working outlets, or broken light switches are signs that the electrical system is impaired.  Frayed cords, faulty wiring, electrical overheating, and sparking outlets need replacement by an electrician.

Safety

Keep electrical appliances and tools away from water.  Dispose of damaged electrical cords. Never run cords under carpet, rugs, doors, or windows.  Use proper wattage for lamps and lighting fixtures.  Unplug appliances when not in use.

Commercial

Commercial electrical contractors install building automation systems, electrical power control systems, environmental control system installation, humidity control system installation, and parking area lighting set-up.  Electricians work with low voltage systems to make sure they are efficient and safe.  Commercial electrical repairs and service span from parking lot lighting and pole repairs to building light systems.  Outdoor lighting with LED lights can be installed.
