Common Issues & Easy Fixes

If your power cuts out frequently, your circuit might be overloaded. Try unplugging a few devices and resetting the breaker. If you plug them back in one by one, you’ll usually find the "culprit" that’s drawing too much power.

Using a voltage tester is a safe and easy way to check for power without touching wires

Flickering lights are usually just a loose bulb! Make sure it’s screwed in tight. If the flickering continues, there might be a loose connection in the fixture that needs a closer look.

If you hear a hum or feel heat coming from a switch, stop immediately. Turn off the power at the breaker. This is a sign of faulty wiring that needs professional attention right away.

Your Simple Troubleshooting Process

• Identify: What are the symptoms? Any weird smells or sounds?
• Isolate: Is it just one lamp, or the whole room?
• Check Power: Use a voltage tester to confirm if power is reaching the area.
• Repair or Replace: Once you've found the loose wire, swap it out carefully.
• Test Again: Turn the power back on and make sure everything is running smoothly.
