Signs You Need An Electrical Inspection
Flickering/Dimming Lights: Flickering can be
normal in certain bulb types or when a large electrical appliance (like an AC
or heat pump) turns on. But frequent dimming or flickering of lights can
indicate a serious electrical problem like corroding wires, a faulty electrical
panel or a loose circuit connection.
Hot Switches or Outlets: Heat should never radiate
from a switch or outlet. This could mean the outlet/switch is getting
overloaded or has a loose connection that's making wires touch. We recommend
you turn off the switch or unplug everything from the outlet and call a professional
electrician.
Frequently Tripped Circuit Breakers: Circuit
breakers are designed to protect your electrical system from being overloaded.
If you notice a circuit breaker tripping when you use a certain outlet, the
circuit is getting overloaded.
Buzzing/Humming Noises: Electrical circuits
shouldn't make noise. A buzzing or humming noise usually indicates a faulty
appliance or wire connection.
Sparking: Electrical sparks of any kind aren't normal. If you see sparks coming from an appliance, outlet or your main electrical panel, call a professional right away.
Water Damage: Wiring that has been submerged or in contact with water will almost definitely need to be replaced. If your home has suffered any kind of flooding or water damage (from a storm, pipe leak, etc.), don't use electricity until you get an electrical inspection.
In addition to the signs above, we also recommend getting a home electrical inspection when...
