Want to Know What Issues You May Have with Your Old Wiring?
What Common Issues Does an Electrical Repair Service Deal With?
There are 4 basic electrical problems a professional electrical repair service deals with on a daily basis, these are power surges, intermittent power, overloaded circuits and redundant wiring. All these can start electrical fires and must be seen to as soon as possible. These issues can be easily identified and corrected.
Intermittent power is a wiring issue. It’s caused by down to loose wiring. To check if that’s the problem, follow the electrical cable down from the unit to the plug. Search for any signs of fraying, wear, or exposed wires. Take apart the appliance to find the connection point of the power to it.
Should the wiring be frayed by the connection point, simply cut away the damaged part. Use the wire strippers to take off the plastic coating, thus exposing the wires. Once they have been exposed, you can reconnect the cable back to the appliance.
Power surges are due to sudden increases in power from the electricity company. This increase does overload circuits and makes appliances switch off. There is nothing you can do to rectify this. The best thing that you can do is to buy power bars. Plug your electronic appliances into a power bar. This comes with a built in circuit to ensure any surges which go to the outlet are bypassed to another circuit.
Redundant wiring is a common problem that an electrical service professional deals with every day, it happens in homes that the previous owner was devising their own wiring. However, not all wiring was used, and in most cases, live wires are exposed. Take some time to trace all the wiring, thus ensuring that there are no surprises lurking or weak connections.
Overloaded circuits happen when extra power outlets are made using existing wiring as their source of power. This technique creates problems when multiple appliances are plugged in at the same time. Their demand exceeds the power outlets capacity and causes a short fuse.
