Common Electrical Emergencies

Even if you routinely schedule electrical inspections, dangerous situations may still arise. Because of this, you’ll need a reliable electrician who can respond quickly, check things thoroughly, and fix issues as soon as possible.

Here are some of the most common emergency electrical problems that can happen in your Huntsville home.

Power Outages

When the electricity goes out, it’s usually because of a problem with the power grid. However, issues with your home’s electrical system can also cause power outages. You must contact the electric company if the entire neighborhood is without electricity. However, if the problem is confined to your home, turn off all appliances, outlets, and lights by cutting power at the source, and then contact your trusted local electrician immediately.

Electrical Fires

The most common cause of electrical fires is a faulty electrical system, but faulty appliances can also be to blame. Electrical fires are extremely hazardous. Your home should have at least one fire extinguisher and a number of working smoke alarms, just in case. Do not turn your power back on even if you get the fire out. Instead, call an electrician to look at your electrical system so that they can find and fix the problem.

Burnt Outlets

If an outlet becomes extremely hot, catches fire, or appears brown or black, that circuit has a problem. Putting off fixing it could result in an electrical fire and much higher repair costs. If any of the following things happen to your outlet, turn off the power at the breaker box and unplug everything from your outlets. You should contact an electrician immediately to make the necessary repairs.

Circuit Breaker Failure (Short Circuits)

Your circuit breaker box keeps your circuits from overloading and short-circuiting, which are both signs of serious electrical problems. When an overload or short circuit occurs, you first need to turn off the power at the source (typically the circuit breaker box) to prevent electrical hazards. Immediately call an electrician to inspect and repair your electrical system.

Tripping Breakers

If your circuit breakers trip frequently, it’s because you are using more electricity than your electrical system can handle. Frequent breaker tripping usually happens in older homes with outdated electrical systems. To solve this problem, you may need to contact an electrical contractor for an electrical upgrade or consider switching to energy-efficient appliances.
