Your home’s electrical system works quietly in the background—until something goes wrong. As a homeowner, knowing when to call a licensed electrician can save you from costly repairs, potential hazards, and a whole lot of frustration. At JME Electric, we’re here to help you stay safe, powered up, and worry-free. Here are five signs it's time to pick up the phone and call a pro.
- Flickering or Dimming Lights
It might seem like a minor issue, but flickering or dimming lights could point to something much bigger—like loose wiring, overloaded circuits, or even a failing panel. If it’s happening in multiple areas of your home, it’s time to have your system inspected. - Tripping Breakers or Blown Fuses
If your breakers trip every time you use the microwave and toaster at the same time, your system might be overloaded. Frequent breaker trips are a warning sign that your panel or wiring might not be up to today’s demands. Let JME Electric take a look—we’ll diagnose the issue and provide safe, code-compliant solutions. - Outlets That Are Warm or Buzzing
An outlet should never be hot to the touch, nor should it make a buzzing sound. These are signs of unsafe wiring or a faulty connection. Ignoring it can lead to electrical fires. We can repair or replace damaged outlets and bring peace of mind back to your home. - You’re Using Too Many Extension Cords
Power strips and extension cords are meant to be temporary—not permanent solutions. If you find yourself relying on them in every room, your home probably needs additional outlets or even a new circuit. JME Electric specializes in safe, clean electrical upgrades tailored to your home’s layout. - You Just Moved into an Older Home
Older homes weren’t built with today’s electrical demands in mind. If your home still has two-prong outlets, no GFCIs, or aluminum wiring, it’s time for an upgrade. We offer thorough inspections and modern rewiring services to keep your home up to code and your family safe.
