Electrical problems can arise for a number of reasons. Some of the most common causes of electrical issues include:

• Overloaded circuits: If your home or business has a heavy load, the circuit breakers will trip. This is a safeguard to prevent your circuit from becoming damaged and catching fire. However, you will need to have the circuit panel upgraded to a higher amperage to prevent the breaker from tripping.
• Damaged wiring: Wiring gets damaged from wear and tear, pest infestations, short circuits, and a number of other issues. Prompt repairs are vital to prevent fire hazards.
• New appliances: When you are investing in new appliances, it is important to remember that they may need special wiring or a larger panel if you want to avoid electrical problems. When you first install your new appliances, you may experience some minor issues as they get accustomed to your electrical system. If these problems persist, it is best to call Service One Electric right away, so we can prevent your system from being damaged beyond repair.
• Electrical emergencies that should be addressed immediately include sparks from appliances, outlets, or switches; smoke from any part of your electrical system; frequent shocks; burning smells; and other dangerous conditions. These are all signs of a hazardous situation that needs immediate attention to prevent damage to your home.
