10 Most CommonProblems in HomeCaused By ElectricalIssues- E L E C Z O . C O M
The problem with all electrical wiring and fittings of an early age is that they are notstrong enough to power the electronic devices of this era. There are obvious signs of
strain and overload issues with multiple extensions from a single outlet. The wiring canbe weak or damaged due to the continuous use of high power electronics. If you
experience high electricity bills, flickering lights, and damaged appliances, you can besure that your home circuit is not in proper working condition.
Here are some of the mostcommon electrical problems andsolutions:
Electrical SurgesOverloadingPower Sags and DipsUncovered Junction boxFaulty light switchesFlickering lightsTripping circuit breakerFewer outletsElectric shocksAluminum wiring
The easiest way to fix power surges is to check thedevice that connects to the home grid or the wiringof the wiring board and try disconnecting it from thedevice's power outlet. If that does not solve yourissue, you probably have a wiring problem and call anelectrician to do a full check of your wiring andpower outlets.
Electrical surges are common electricalproblems at home
Electrical Surges
Sags and dips only happen whenelectrical appliances are connected to afaulty power grid. It can also occur whenthe grid is made of low-quality material
and cannot sustain a high-powermachine connected to the outlets.
Power Sags and DipsOne can easily recognize lousy craft or
substandard products with dim switchesthat fail to adjust lights properly. On theother hand, the problem may also lie in
the wiring, circuit, or outlets. Consult anelectrician to solve these issues.
Faulty light switches
A junction box has a lot of interconnected wires. If not covered,people might contact and suffer from electric shocks fromdamaged or open wires. Although the risk is minimal if the junctionbox is beyond reach, the continuous exposure to air and moisturecan cause severe damage to the cables leading to other electricalproblems like overload or flickering lights.

The simple way to avoid such accidental damages tothe house wiring is to stay below the wattage level of
the fixtures. If the fixture is not marked withwattage, it is safe to use a 60-watt bulb or less to
avoid any damages.
Sometimes a light fixture is fitted with abulb with a higher wattage than the
designed fixture.

These are experienced due to loose weather headsthat connect and disconnect on windy days. Call anelectrician immediately to fix the weather heads andstay safe from accidental fires.Flickering lights
Electric shocks Other lesser-known reasons for electric shocks areold fixtures and poor wiring or bad quality electricalappliances.To resolve this issue, you can try testinganother device to the same outlet or call anelectrician to do a full check-up of the outlet wiring.

Most people use extension cords or power strips toextend the number of outlets present and plug inmore devices. Using a heavy load extension cordreduces the risks of an outlet burn or insulationmelting, but it is always advised to increase thenumber of power outlets in the house for bettersafety.
Fewer outlets
Aluminum is a cheap substitute for copper when itcomes to house wirings. It was the best option for olderdays but is no longer a safe option. Aluminum corrodeswhen in contact with copper and can lead to looseconnections and fires. The only way to resolve this issueis to retrofit the entire wiring with copper fixtures andwiring, which reduces the risk of corrosion andaccidental fires
