Frequent Questions

u

When you should I call an electrician?

As a homeowner, you may need electrical services if you:

  • have lights that flicker
  • have to reset circuit breakers
  • need to change fuses too often
  • find lights dimming when turning on other devices
  • use extension cords for plugging in electrical devices
  • smell electricity burning
  • have outlets overloaded by multi-plug strips
u

Why should I NOT do it myself?

If you have a problem, call us to schedule an evaluation or emergency electrical repair. Aside from your own safety, other reasons to call a professional include:

  • Familiarity with local building codes.
  • Experience with national safety standards.
  • Peace of mind and a work guarantee
u

When I touch a few outlets in my home, they seem hot. Is there a problem?

The problems can range from defective, old outlets or overloaded wiring due to the wrong size of fuses or circuit breakers plugged in. If you are constantly experiencing this situation, you need the services of an electrician immediately. 

u

Why do the lights dim when the refrigerator is running?

It may be due to the lights and outlets being on the same circuit. Ideally, there should be a separate circuit for the outlet with which the refrigerator is connected and a separate circuit for the lights. If you have this problem, it is important that you take the electrical load off the lights and install a new wire for the refrigerator. Please call Porter Electric to solve your electricity-related problems.
