Common Electrical Problems
& What They Mean

Don't ignore warning signs. Here's what common electrical issues indicate and when to call a professional.

🔥 Burning Smell

⚠ High — Call immediately

Burning plastic or metallic smell near outlets, switches, or your panel. Could indicate arcing or overheated wiring.

🔧 Turn off breaker → Call electrician → Do NOT use circuit

💡 Flickering Lights

⚡ Medium — Schedule service

If more than one light flickers, it's likely a loose connection at the panel, a failing breaker, or an overloaded circuit.

🔧 Note which circuits → Schedule inspection

🔌 Dead Outlets

⚡ Medium — Schedule service

Outlet won't work after checking the breaker? Could be a tripped GFCI elsewhere, a loose wire, or a failed outlet.

🔧 Check GFCI outlets first → Then call if unresolved

Breaker Keeps Tripping

⚡ Medium — Schedule service

Repeated tripping means the circuit is overloaded, there's a short circuit, or the breaker itself is failing.

🔧 Don't force it on → Identify the overloaded circuit

🌡️ Warm Outlets or Switches

⚠ High — Call soon

Outlets or switch plates that feel warm to the touch indicate loose connections, undersized wiring, or an overloaded circuit.

🔧 Stop using outlet → Call for inspection

💧 GFCI Won't Reset

🟢 Low — Schedule service

A GFCI that trips immediately or won't reset may have a ground fault downstream or the device itself has failed.

🔧 Try all GFCI outlets → Replace if older than 10 years
