Everyone has electrical problems from time to time, and when you have problems, your safety is the most important thing, which is why it's essential you have a residential electrician you can rely on for help. Here are common problems you'll encounter where you should call in a local electrician that knows the Marietta area.

  • POWER SURGE — Faulty wiring or a faulty device can cause frequent power surges.
  • LIGHT SWITCH FAILURE — If your light switch does not connect your light to power, it may be faulty wiring or the circuit could be bad.
  • FREQUENT CIRCUIT BREAKER TRIPS — If you have appliances that are high wattage such as a hairdryer or microwave, it can cause your circuit breaker to trip. Frequent breaker trips is a sign you have a problem with your electrical load.
  • SHOCKS — If you get a shock when you plug in an appliance or light, or flip on a switch, it's a dangerous situation that needs to be fixed ASAP.

All of these problems have the potential to turn deadly if not fixed right away. Call an electrical repair service and don't take chances!

We've all seen sparks shoot out from an outlet when plugging in a device and think it's normal. Outlets spark for several reasons but the most common are a short circuit, old age, or it was repaired improperly. While it's concerning, you rarely have to worry if it happens occasionally, however, if it sparks every time you plug in, it's time to call in a residential electrician for help, because this is a dangerous situation.

From flickering lights to circuit breaker trips, our team diagnoses and repairs electrical issues quickly to keep your home safe. Whether it's a minor fix or a major electrical fault, we provide 24/7 emergency electrical services throughout the greater Atlanta area for urgent needs, which might be caused by an outlet spark.

Losing power is an inconvenience, but it can also be serious if someone relies on medical devices. When you lose power, follow these tips to remain safe.

  • Don't open your fridge or freezer and allow cold air to escape
  • If you use a generator, keep it outside
  • Disconnect electronic devices to keep them safe from power surges
  • Call a residential electrician
  • If you need help, go to a neighbor or get out of the house and go to a public place

Don't be left at the whim of a power outage. Have a whole-home generator installed!

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.
