Electrical problems
What’s going on with your electricity?
Start with the symptom. Each guide explains the likely causes, what you can safely check yourself and when it's time to call.
Breaker Keeps Tripping
Usually an overloaded circuit, a short or a ground fault — occasionally a worn-out breaker. Here's how to tell.
Flickering Lights
One flickering fixture is often a bulb or dimmer; flicker across the house can mean a loose connection or service issue.
Outlet Not Working
Check GFCIs, breakers and wall switches first; if those don't fix it, a loose connection is the likely culprit.
Burning Electrical Smell
A burning or hot-plastic smell usually means something electrical is overheating — act now.
Partial Power Outage
Half the house dark? It can be a tripped breaker, a lost utility leg or a failed connection — some causes are urgent.
Electrical Panel Hot
A panel that's hot to the touch signals overloaded breakers, loose connections or a failing panel — treat it as urgent.
GFCI Keeps Tripping
Moisture, a failing appliance, damaged wiring or a worn-out GFCI are the usual causes of repeated trips.
Sparking Outlet
A tiny flash can be normal; big sparks, pops or scorch marks mean a short circuit or loose connection.
Why it matters
Why electrical problems need a professional
Most electrical faults aren't visible. A dead outlet, a warm switch or a breaker that trips can all be caused by a loose connection that's quietly heating up behind the wall.
Hidden heat is the real risk
Loose connections and overloaded circuits generate heat long before anything fails completely. Finding them early prevents damage.
Panels stay live inside
Service conductors in your panel remain energized even with the main breaker off. Panel work isn't a DIY job.
Protection devices need testing
GFCIs, AFCIs and breakers only protect you if they work. Nuisance tripping and failures both deserve a proper diagnosis.
Permits and inspections
Panel replacements, new circuits and service upgrades generally require permits and inspection — important for safety, insurance and resale.
Modern homes use more power
EV chargers, heat pumps, home offices and shops add load. Sizing circuits and service correctly avoids overloads.
Homes have their own patterns
Attic and crawl-space wiring, shared circuits in older houses and code rules for kitchens and baths all shape residential work.
Safety first
Stop and call right away if you notice
- A burning, hot-plastic or fishy smell from an outlet, switch or panel
- Sparks, smoke or scorch marks on any device
- A panel or breaker that's hot to the touch or buzzing loudly
- Tingling or shocks from fixtures, appliances or faucets
- Water reaching outlets, cords or the panel
- Lights that suddenly get much brighter in some rooms
Fire, smoke or a downed line? Leave the house and call 911 first. Stay at least 35 feet from downed power lines and report them to your utility.
