Common Electrical Issues and When to Call STAAC

Q: My lights are flickering. Is this a matter of concern?

A: Flickering lights can be caused by loose wiring, faulty bulbs, or a problem with the switch. While a loose bulb might be a simple fix, flickering lights can indicate a more serious electrical issue. If flickering persists after checking the bulbs, it's best to call STAAC to diagnose the problem and ensure your safety.

Q: A power outlet in my kitchen stopped working. What should I do?

A: Initially, inspect whether a tripped circuit breaker is causing the issue. If resetting the breaker proves ineffective, potential causes may include a defective outlet, overloaded circuit, or damaged wiring. You should not attempt to fix a malfunctioning outlet on your own.

Q: I smell burning plastic coming from my fuse box. What should I immediately do?

A: This is a serious issue that could indicate a potential electrical fire. Turn off the main power supply to your home immediately and evacuate everyone from the building. Once you're safe, call STAAC for emergency electrical service. Do not attempt to restore power or investigate the fuse box on your own.

Q: I'm planning a home renovation project. Should I call an electrician before I begin?

A: Absolutely! Electrical wiring might need modifications or upgrades to accommodate your renovation plans. Consulting STAAC beforehand ensures your electrical system can handle new additions safely, avoiding future issues.

Q: How often should I have my electrical system inspected?

A: It's best to have a professional electrician inspect your home's electrical safety every five years. Regular checks can catch problems early and keep your system up to code.

Be Prepared: Seasonal Electrical Safety Tips for Kingston Homes

Kingston's seasons pose unique electrical challenges. Stay safe in summer by preventing circuit overloads with air conditioners and pool equipment. Unplug unnecessary appliances and consider an electrical panel inspection by STAAC to manage increased power demands.

During winter, exercise caution around downed power lines caused by heavy snow and ice accumulation. Maintain a safe distance from them and ensure you have a battery-powered radio for updates during power outages. STAAC offers surge protector installation to safeguard your electronics during winter storms. Stay prepared with STAAC and mitigate seasonal risks.
