What does “short circuit” mean?
A short circuit is a circuit that has come into contact with a conductor, causing it to arc and fail. This can also happen with wire. If there are sparks in the electrical panel, this may be a sign of a short circuit, which can interfere with the rest of the wiring in your home or with a device in specific. You should contact a professional right away to attend to short circuits.
How can I tell if my electrical panel is unsafe?
The safety of electrical panels can also be defined by the age of the home. The older the home is, the more that an electrical panel will fail and run into problems. If your electrical panel is failing frequently, this usually calls for an unsafe system. A properly working panel should be able to meet the demands of a modern home.
How can I save electricity usage in my home?
One of the best ways you can save electricity and spend less is by installing the best light fixtures possible. Light uses up more electricity than you might imagine. You could start by minimizing the amount of light you use. You could also look into replacing old fixtures with new lights. LED lights could improve lighting and reduce electricity use, overall. The professionals at Omega Electric can help you decide which light fixtures would work for you and your home.
When should I call a professional?
No matter how big or small the problem may be, you should never take the risk of doing repairs on your own, especially if you have never done them before. With any kind of problem you might be facing, your first thought should be to call a professional. We’re here on stand-by, we know that these things can happen at any time, so we’re prepared to help you!
