Loose Outlet Plugs

Many people end up with a loose outlet plug. While this might not seem like a big deal, it could cause some issues. This can often be fixed simply by turning off the breaker, checking the voltage to the outlet, unscrewing the cover plate, and installing outlet shims to attach the outlet back to your wall. However, if this seems like too much or you are too nervous to mess with the electrical, you can contact Peaden’s electrical work experts today.

Short Circuit Issues

You might also experience short circuit issues. These issues often happen with appliances such as toaster ovens or hairdryers. They can cause you to trip the circuit. If you have tried resetting your breaker, but the issue is still occurring, you can call electrical work experts at Peaden today. These experts can determine if the issue is with the appliance, the outlet, or the circuit.

Dimming or Flickering Lights

If you have dimming or flickering lights in your home, this can be quite dangerous. This issue could be a result of a poor connection somewhere in your home. The problem is that this poor connection could overheat and spark a fire. If you have lights in your home that are dimming or flickering, be sure to contact Peaden’s electrical work experts right away.

Dead Outlets

Do you have an outlet in your home that won’t work? It could be a dead outlet.
