Outlets
Worn out Receptacles – If the plug doesn’t stay in the outlet it needs to be replaced.
Loose Wiring – Loose wiring connecting the outlet can cause electrical arcing and cause a fire.
Tripped Circuit Breaker – An outlet that trips a circuit breaker is worn out and needs to be replaced right away.
Switches
Switch Doesn’t Operate – This could mean the switch is worn out or a wire has broken free.
Buzzing – This is a serious condition that indicates overheating and possible fire hazard.
Floppy Switch – If the switch doesn’t stay in the on or off position it needs to be replaced.
USB and GFCI Outlet Installation
Even if you’re not experiencing any of the problems above, maybe it’s just time for an update. Many devices today, like phones and tablets, use a USB charging port. USB wall outlet installation is a popular update, adding value to your home and ease to your life. Instead of keeping track of the USB block your phone has to have to plug into the wall, you can plug directly into the outlet.

F.A.Q.
Frequent Questions
What do emergency electricians do?
An emergency electrician is an electrician who will come out at short notice with no prior appointment to fix an electrical problem that has just occurred.
What do electrical repairs do?
Electrical repairs involve a wide variety of services, ranging from major installation, or rewiring your home, to changing out a broken light switch or receptacle. It is often a difficult task to diagnose a particular electrical issue at home without the help of a trained professional.
What is the first thing to do in an electrical emergency?
Unplug the appliance and turn the power off at the premise’s main power switchboard to avoid any further damage. If there’s a burning smell, smoke, or fire, call 9-1-1 or your local emergency services.
Can a handyman do electrical work?
Remember handymen who aren’t qualified electricians can do basic electrical work but can’t do work that requires certification. It’s highly recommended that if you require certificated work to be carried out that you hire a qualified electrician.
