Signs a new home might need electrical service

Reliable electric service is important. Moving into a new home can be a scary experience, even — especially — if the house itself is not so new. If you have only just recently moved into a house in the Fort Mill area, you may want to have an electrician look it over before you finish hooking up your appliances and home entertainment system.This will let you know of any flaws and weak spots in the system.

If you find that your lights are dimming or fluctuating and/or your circuit breaker is tripping, other than when you are using household appliances, you could have a serious problem.Your electrical devices could end up receiving far too much or too little power and become damaged.Other signs of danger include:

• Flickering lights.
• A sizzling noise when you turn your lights on or off.
• Parts of the electrical system feel warm to the touch.

If any of this is happening to you, make an appointment with an electrical service provider as soon as possible in order to get the problem taken care of.

What can go wrong with the electrical system of a new home

When something modern and power-hungry like a home entertainment system is plugged into an old outlet that was installed decades ago and was never designed to carry so much power, there is a risk of something being overloaded. This is why you should also resist the temptation to plug one extension lead into another one.

But loose or bad connections are the major causes of fires and other safety hazards in homes, and an untrained eye cannot always spot these connections in time. This is why it is important to have a new home inspected by electrical service providers. They can tell you what kind of load your outlets are designed to carry, and can get a better sense of the condition of the wiring in your new home than you can.
