When it comes to household electricity, your safety is the most important. Blinking lights, high bills and damaged devices can be a sign of electrical problems on your home circuit. Identify issues from the list below, as well as the most appropriate solution.
-
FREQUENT ELECTRICAL SURGES
Electrical surges can cause any kind of lightning, damage to electrical lines, defective devices and poor electrical installations in the house. While the real impact range lasts only one second, frequent obstacles can damage the electrical components associated with your home, which significantly deteriorates their lifetime.
If there are frequent electrical strikes, the culprit is probably an electrical device connected to the home network or the wire itself. Try to remove any cheap-made device that is connected, otherwise it is time to consult professional electricians.
-
LIGHT SWITCHES NOT WORKING PROPERLY
Dimmer switches that do not adjust the correct lighting can often be attributed to poor products or substandard products.
If you have just moved to a new house and found switches that do not activate at all, this could be a sign that the switches have to be replaced and that the switches have been removed, or there may be an error in the socket, assembly, or wiring. Consult electricians if you have problems with the switches in your home.
-
CIRCUIT BREAKER TRIPPING FREQUENTLY
High-power components such as microwave ovens and hair driers can unplug current fuses, especially when other energy consumers are used on the same source. An automatic fuse is designed to protect you and your home so that when it’s done, it’s a sign that it does its job.
See what you used when it came down. If it was a hair dryer, try using a low setting. Alternatively, limit electrical use in one circuit while using high pressure devices.
-
CIRCUIT OVERLOAD
One of the biggest causes of frequent switching off of the circuit breaker is the overload of the power supply boards. Most homes and apartments, even the newer ones, do not have enough power to satisfy, for example, the complete set up of a home entertainment unit. If they are automatically turned off in your home, it can be due to overload
. Prevent this by;
- Remove devices that are not in use (for example, chargers are still powered even when they are not connected).
- Spread the electrical needs around you. Do not overload one circle.
- Keep in mind how you connect devices around your home – what’s in use and what is unnecessary
-
LIGHTS TOO BRIGHT OR DIM
If some light around the house is too bright, while others are smoked, then there are two possible causes:
- Different types of lights of different strengths: Make sure all the globes are identical.
- Poor main neutral connection: This will continue to cause problems in the house until it is determined by a professional electrician.
-
ELECTRICAL SHOCKS
Electric shock is a bad experience. Although they are usually rather mild, something like static shock, they remind that the current is dangerous when it is probably not used.
Electric shocks usually occur when you turn the device on or off. The problem could be with the device, or it could be in the wiring. You can test this by turning on the other device and see if the results are played, but you risk another electric shock. In most cases, it is better to talk to an electrician
-
HIGH ELECTRICAL BILL
Reducing the cost of electricity can include:
- Switching to a solar panel system
- Identification of electrical devices that can lead to increased voltage
- Patching leaks in the hot water system
- Turn off the device and the charger when not in use
- Repairing damaged wiring or circuits
