Electrical Repairs

Are You Overlooking Common Electrical Problems?

• Do you never seem to have enough electrical outlets? Power strips and extension cords are handy but should never be used in every outlet. Too many wires around your home can quickly become a safety and fire hazard. Hydes will install extra power outlets to make sure you’ve got power when and where you need it in your home.
• Has your electricity bill gone up? While electric bills always spike in the California summers, unexpected increases may warrant a closer look. Damaged electrical equipment or outdated devices could be draining your power. Hydes will help install energy-saving repairs that your wallet will appreciate.
• Are your light bulbs burning out too quickly? Bulbs going out before the end of their expected lifespan may be a sign of a bigger electrical problem. You could have an issue with wattage, voltage or faulty wiring. You should always consult with a professional to avoid personal injury when investigating premature bulb burnout. Hydes' electricians will get to the bottom of the problem so you can make the most of your lights.
• Do light switches or appliances give you a shock? Electrical shocks, no matter how minor, are potential signs of a bigger issue. Shocks from light switches and appliances could be a sign of an electrical leakage or wiring issue. Contact Hydes to have a professional assess the issue and determine the safest repair plan.

Some More Electrical Issues To Keep an Eye On

• Flickering Lights: Loose or corroded wires may be a telltale sign of an unreliable connection. Such a compromised connection can be a serious threat, potentially resulting in sparking or overheating. Additionally, flickering lights may sometimes be caused by outdated dimming technology attempting to regulate newer LED bulbs.
• Loose Wiring or Circuits: A number of underlying issues could be the culprit for frequent light bulb replacement, such as a loose connection or outdated technology. For those with recessed lights, overheating from insulation may trigger an emergency shut off. Let our professional electricians handle the job with ease and efficiency.
• Tripping Circuit Breaker: Occasional breaker trips are normal, but if it repeatedly occurs, your circuit could be overloaded. Let Hydes Electrical assess your needs and determine if additional circuits or a panel upgrade is necessary to optimize your energy usage. Trust us for effective solutions.
