Minor electrical issues can often be handled by homeowners, but there are some that may be dangerous or difficult to fully understand and require a licensed electrician. In some cases, these issues may lead to serious fire hazards or pose a risk for electrocution. But how do you know the difference between a minor issue or a serious electrical problem?

Here are three common reasons most people call licensed electricians for repair services: 

  • Flickering or Dimming Lights: If your lights are flickering or dimming often, this can be the sign of a serious electrical connection issue, which can lead to arcing or something far more dangerous. A licensed electrician can help diagnose the real problem safely and quickly. 
  • Frequently Burnt Light Bulbs: Light bulbs that burn out frequently can be due to several electrical issues, including a poor socket or bad wiring. If this seems to happen frequently, you should call an electrician immediately to ensure there isn’t an issue with the wiring. 
  • licensed electricianTripped Breakers: If your breakers are tripping often, this can mean there is an overload of electricity somewhere, or your wires need to be updated. In older houses, the circuit breaker panel may need to be replaced, and only a licensed electrician can safely do this.
