Overloaded Circuit: If too many devices or appliances are plugged in and operating at the same time it can cause an overloaded circuit. This is usually apparent when one room or area of your home or business loses power suddenly. Switching the circuit back to “on” and limiting the amount of power in that outlet should resolve the issue. However, if you experience frequent tripping an electrician should be called for an inspection.
Damaged Electrical Panels: Besides persistent tripping, signs of a bad circuit breaker include visible damage & rust, burning smell, hot to the touch and the age of the device. While they are built to last about 30 years in a favorable environment and regular maintenance, they can fizzle out earlier.
Wiring Damage: Although the wires that send electricity throughout your home are very resistant against wildlife animal and rodent bites, if they are persistent eventually the pests can break through the casing. Exposed, damaged wiring can cause power outages and electrical fires if not addressed right away.
Faulty Outlets: A partial outage may be a sign that rather than an electrical issue it is your outlets that are glitching. Check to see if your GFCI outlets have tripped; resetting them should restore power to those appliances. If you notice burn marks or smell electrical burning that is a sign your outlets need to be replaced.
Inexperienced homeowners should never try to evaluate or repair electrical systems under any circumstances. Eliminate your risk of electrocution, electrical fires or serious hazards by hiring a professional emergency electrician for power restoration services.
