Common Domestic Electrical Problems and How L.A Electrical Can Help

Electrical issues in the home can be more than just a nuisance—they can pose serious safety risks. At L.A Electrical, I specialize in diagnosing and resolving common domestic electrical problems to keep your home safe and functioning efficiently. Whether it’s tripping circuits, flickering lights, or outdated wiring, I’m here to provide expert solutions.

If you’re experiencing electrical problems, don’t wait! Call me at 07553 838637 to schedule a service and get your home’s electrical system back on track.


Electricity Tripping Out

Constantly resetting your circuit breakers is not a solution. Frequent tripping can be a sign of faulty wiring, a problematic socket or switch, or even an issue with an appliance causing a fault on the circuit. My expertise in fault finding and diagnosis allows me to quickly identify and resolve the underlying cause, ensuring your home’s electrical system is safe and reliable.

Stop resetting your breakers and call 07553 838637 to address the root cause of the problem!


Flickering Lights and Blown Bulbs

Flickering lights often indicate faulty wiring or loose connections. If your light bulbs frequently blow, it might be due to low-quality bulbs. I always use high-quality, branded bulbs to ensure longer-lasting and safer lighting solutions. Let me help you resolve flickering or blown bulbs with a professional inspection and the right products.

Light Switches or Sockets That Give a Small Electric Shock

Receiving even a small shock from metal switches or sockets is a serious issue that should not be ignored. This could be a sign of earthing problems, which pose a significant risk of injury or fire. If you notice this, it’s crucial to contact me immediately for a safety inspection and necessary repairs.

Sparking Sockets or Switches

If you notice sparking when using a socket or switch, it’s likely a sign of a worn or damaged accessory. Left unchecked, this can lead to electric shocks or even fire hazards. I can quickly identify and replace any faulty components to keep your home safe.

Noticing sparks? Don’t ignore it—call 07553 838637 to fix the issue before it becomes a hazard!


Smell of Burning

A burning smell from your electrics is a clear warning sign of overheating and the potential start of an electrical fire. It often comes with a distinctive, slightly fishy odor from overheating accessories. If you detect this smell, it’s crucial to switch off your electrics at the consumer unit and contact me immediately.

Smell something burning? Turn off your electrics and call 07553 838637 immediately for emergency service!


Outdated Electrics

Many homes, especially older ones, still have outdated electrical systems that don’t meet modern safety standards. If your home is more than a few decades old, a full rewire or replacement of old sockets may be necessary to ensure your home is safe and compliant. I specialize in upgrading outdated electrics to modern standards, providing peace of mind and enhancing the safety of your property.
