Solving Common Electrical Problems With Creative Solutions
Here, we solve some of the most common electrical problems. Get answers to these problems and more with our professional technicians!
When the wind blows, the lights flicker.
Chances are we're looking at a simple weather vane problem. Those flickering
lights are probably not dangerous, but they can be pretty irritating.
Ask your electrical company to check out your weather vane; they should
be willing to replace it for free.
I have to use multiple outlet extenders.
Older homes, especially, weren't designed to support the many appliances
we have today. If you've got multiple extension cords running to the same
outlet, you're probably overloading your system. Installing new outlets
is a better option, and you'll probably blow fewer fuses.
My lights dim when the garbage disposal turns on.
When one appliance affects the voltage of another, you likely have a bad
connection in the wiring. These are called "brown outs" and,
while they're usually not dangerous, they can signal exposed wires and
cause damage to your appliances. Sometimes the problem is in the power
grid itself and your utility company should be willing to address the problem.
My hair dryer always trips the circuit breaker.
Though it's annoying, the circuit breaker's just doing its job. Figure
out what other appliances are on this circuit and make sure they're turned
off while you're operating your hair dryer. Try plugging the dryer into
a different outlet not on that circuit, or have the system rewired so
fewer outlets depend on the same circuit.
