What does an electrical service call include?
Troubleshooting the problem, explaining the fix and price, completing the repair or install to code, and testing the circuit. Permits and inspections, when required, are usually arranged by the electrician.
What are signs of an electrical problem in a house?
Frequently tripping breakers, flickering or dimming lights, warm or discolored outlets, buzzing sounds, a burning smell, and outlets that spark are all warning signs. Burning smells and sparking need attention right away.
How soon can I get an electrician?
Routine jobs can usually be scheduled within a few days. For burning smells, sparking outlets or a partial power loss, turn off the affected breaker and look for an electrician offering same-day or emergency service.
