Common Electrical Repair Questions
Can I do my own electrical work?
Electrical systems can be quite dangerous for those lacking the proper skill and knowledge, with significant risks of electrocution, fire, and other hazards. Homeowners may be able to solve some electrical problems safely, such as resetting breakers or changing bulbs, but most other electrical work should be left to a professional electrical contractor, such as Blind & Sons.Â
Why do my lights flicker on and off?
If it happens at just one or two fixtures in your Akron home, the bulb may need to be replaced, or the light fixture may be faulty. If an entire room or your entire home is affected, there may be more serious problems in your electrical system, such as overloaded circuits, damaged wiring that is arcing, loose terminals, or faulty breakers.
My breaker keeps tripping; what do I do?
If you have reset the breaker several times and it keeps tripping, remove one device at a time from the circuit to rule out any chance of circuit overload or a damaged appliance. If you cannot find the problem and the circuit keeps tripping, call our team at Blind & Sons for electrical repairs. More significant electrical problems may happen, such as damaged wiring or a faulty outlet.
What constitutes an electrical emergency?
Electrical problems can occur anytime, day or night. Calling an electrician in the middle of the night, early in the morning, or over the weekend can be inconvenient and may cost more than a typical service visit. For minor problems like an outlet that has stopped working, a faulty switch, or a malfunctioning ceiling fan, you can often wait until the next business day. For more serious problems, however, you should call Blind & Sons immediately.
Emergency electrical replacement services or repairs may be necessary if you notice arcing or sparking near outlets or breakers, smell smoke or burning plastic, have a complete outage, or your lights are flickering. Likewise, if a family member depends on medical devices like an oxygen or CPAP machine, you should call Bind & Sons immediately for fast, reliable electrical repairs.
