Frequently Asked Questions About Electrical Services in Atlanta
What are common signs you need an electrician?
If you're experiencing electrical issues, it's important to address them before they become hazardous. Here are some common signs that you need an electrician:
- Flickering or dimming lights possibly indicate faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, or a failing electrical panel.
- Frequent circuit breaker trips or if your breaker constantly shuts off, likely signals that your system may be overloaded or have a short circuit.
- Burning smells or scorch marks near outlets is a major warning sign of electrical fire risks and should be inspected immediately.
- Buzzing sounds from outlets or switches often means loose wiring or failing electrical components can cause these noises.
- Outlets that are warm to the touch or sparking is an urgent issue that needs professional attention.
If you notice any of these warning signs, contact Snappy Services for a fast and reliable inspection.
How often should I upgrade my electrical panel?
The average lifespan of an electrical panel is 25 to 40 years, but upgrades may be necessary sooner if:
- You have an older home with outdated wiring that can't handle modern power demands.
- Your panel still uses fuses instead of circuit breakers (fuse boxes are outdated and unsafe).
- Your breakers trip frequently when using multiple appliances.
- You are adding major appliances or a home addition, which requires increased power capacity.
- You experience flickering lights or inconsistent power throughout your home.
Why do my lights keep flickering?
Flickering lights may seem like a minor issue, but they can be a sign of a bigger electrical problem. Some possible causes include:
- Loose or faulty wiring, which is a serious hazard that could lead to electrical fires.
- Too many high-powered devices on the same circuit can cause voltage fluctuations.
- LED and fluorescent bulbs sometimes flicker when incompatible with dimmers.
- Aging or faulty panels may struggle to provide consistent power.
If your lights flicker regularly or worsen over time, it's best to have a licensed electrician inspect your home's electrical system to prevent potential hazards.
What is whole-home surge protection, and do I need it?
Whole-home surge protection safeguards your appliances and electrical devices from sudden voltage spikes caused by:
- Lightning strikes
- Power grid issues and outages
- High-powered appliances cycling on and off (e.g., air conditioners, refrigerators)
Unlike plug-in surge protectors, whole-home surge protection devices (SPDs) are installed directly into your electrical panel to protect your entire home. Benefits include:
- Prevents damage to sensitive electronics (TVs, computers, smart home devices)
- Extends the lifespan of major appliances (HVAC systems, refrigerators, washing machines)
- Reduces the risk of electrical fires caused by power surges
If you live in an area with frequent storms or power fluctuations, Snappy Services can install a whole-home surge protector to keep your home safe.
