While you should continue to have a yearly Professional Electrical Safety Inspection for your Rancho Cordova, CA home in the event it is over forty, you recently purchased it, you are planning to or have had major renovations done, there are some other symptoms that can occur around your home that signal something is wrong with your electrical system. In the event that you begin to notice any of the following signs and symptoms around your house, you will need to schedule a safety inspection as soon as possible as these are all indicative of potentially very dangerous and serious issues within your electrical wiring:

• Your lights are flickering. Whether they are flickering on and off from your overhead ceiling lights, floor lamp, or light fixtures, there is something not wired properly and needs to be addressed immediately.
• Foul, burning smells. If you begin noticing strange burning smells around your Rancho Cordova, CA home, specifically around electrical appliances, this is indicative of an issue with your electrical system!
• Hot outlets, switches, and/or sockets. Arguably the biggest giveaway that you are in need of an immediate Electrical Safety Inspection from Gubruds is if any of your outlets, switches, and/or sockets are hot to the touch, specifically if multiple of them are.
• Odd noises. If you hear a lot of buzzing or humming type of noises coming from one or more of your appliances this can indicate potential loose connections, faulty wiring, or defective appliances. The only way to determine what is causing the buzzing is to conduct a Professional Electricity Safety Inspection.
• Circuit breakers tripping. When your circuit breaker trips it is due to too high of a load of electricity from appliances around your home. If you notice when using certain outlets around your home that your circuit breaker continually trips, no matter the device, there is an issue with your electrical and an Electrical Safety Inspection will be required to determine the issue.
• You use excessive extension cords. Overloading your outlets with extension cords and subsequently excessive power can really wear out your outlets and electrical system in your home. If you are guilty of using a lot of extension cords, it’s okay! Just schedule an Electrical Safety Inspection to ensure you aren’t overloading your sockets.
• Sparks! Hopefully it is common knowledge that if you ever see sparks happening from your outlets or appliances, this is a massive fire hazard and you will need to have a certified electrician at Gubruds perform an Electrical Safety Inspection immediately to determine what is causing your outlets and appliances to spark!
