Call Us for All Your Emergency Residential Electrical Repair Needs in Pittsburgh, PA
There are many types of emergency residential electrical repairs, and 412 Emergency Electricians can handle them all. Our well-trained electricians can repair the following, and much more:
Blown Fuse
A blown fuse is one of the most common emergency electrical repair issues. This usually occurs when a room doesn’t have enough outlets to accommodate all the plugged-in devices, which can result in a circuit overload. While newer homes typically have circuit breakers that shut off the flow of electricity and prevent an overload, older homes often have fuses that will blow and subsequently need to be replaced.
Power Surges
With all the electronic devices we rely on these days, our homes are more susceptible to sudden power surges that can cause significant damage to the equipment. Lighting storms can also cause a dangerous power surge. 412 Emergency Electricians can install high-quality surge protectors that will minimize the risk of damage from power spikes and prevent the need to replace expensive computers, televisions, and other electrical products.
Sparking Electrical Outlets
A spark from an electrical outlet when turning on an electrical appliance can be a normal occurrence — or it could be a sign of a more severe household electrical repair issue. Older electrical outlets are more prone to sparking, which may result in a short circuit that could cause a fire. Replacing an aging outlet with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GCFI) can cause the circuit to shut down when overheated, which will prevent a fire.
Light Bulb Burnout
Light bulbs that burn out frequently may be the most common household electrical repair issues, but it’s also the easiest to remedy. In most cases, this results from using a bulb with a higher wattage than the lighting fixture can handle. If switching to a lower-watt bulb doesn’t correct the problem, contact 412 Emergency Electricians for help. We’ll inspect the fixture and wiring to determine if something else is causing your bulbs to burn out.
Intermittent Power or Flicking Lights
Does the electrical power seem to “fade” in and out in certain areas of your home? This is usually a symptom of loose or faulty wiring. Our electricians can investigate the situation and perform any necessary emergency electrical repairs. Depending on the situation, this could entail tightening or securing the wiring, or in cases of frayed wires, executing a complete rewiring job.
We Are Your Emergency Residential Electrician in Pittsburgh, PA
Some electrical issues are more urgent than others. Contact 412 Emergency Electricians right away if you need an emergency electrician for any of the following:
Power Outages
A faulty line or a sudden power surge can result in a power outage in your home. Our qualified electricians can trace the source of the outage and perform the necessary repair work.
Fallen Power Lines
A severe storm can cause power lines to fall near, or even on your home. Never touch or attempt to remove power lines yourself. Also, be sure to avoid touching trees that are in contact with fallen lines, as the wood contains moisture that conducts electricity.
Malfunctioning Appliances
Many of us find it difficult, if not impossible, to function without our home appliances like refrigerators, water heaters, and air conditioning units. If any of these or other household products cease to operate, contact 412 Emergency Electricians immediately. We can provide prompt 24/7/365 service for any electrical emergency.
