Are you hosting Easter dinner with the family? If so, you are probably going over your checklist of things to do to make sure things are in tip top shape. Things like making sure the home will be clean, that you don’t run out of food or toilet paper, and that the yard looks presentable to make that great first impression.
Here are some things you probably didn’t plan for:
- What if the over doesn’t work?
- What if a breaker trips and won’t reset and you lose power?
- What if the lights are flickering over the dinner table?
- What if the outlets suddenly stop working and your guests can’t watch TV?
- What if those critters in the attic finally eat through that last remaining wire?
- What if that job the handyman (who is not an electrician) is doing fails, and the ceiling fan can’t be installed (and you have a whole in your ceiling?)
It’s not uncommon for us to get calls during the holidays for emergencies like this. The good news is that you can be proactive and have a periodic inspection of your electrical system which can save you from these seeming unpredictable inconveniences.
Contact us for a residential electrical checkup and one of our qualified electricians will come to your home and inspect for many of the common problems that we see. For example due to the extreme heat in the Phoenix area, we often have customers who experience electrical problems at seemingly odd times during the day or night. The simple reason is that homes expand and contract with heat, and depending on what direction your electrical panels face they may come in direct contact with sun light every day. The constant expansion and contraction can loosen connections which leads to power problems.
We wish you a safe holiday weekend
