How To Tell You Need Electrical Repair
Electrical issues shouldn’t be ignored, but you may not be aware of many of the different signs indicating the need for professional electrician assessment. If you become aware of any of the following problems, reach out to us as soon as possible for assistance.
Circuit Breaker Trips Frequently
Experiencing this may mean your circuits are overloaded or you have other issues in need of professional repair by an electrician.
Lights Flicker or Dim
When this happens, you may be dealing with loose wiring that needs to be investigated and fixed.
Bizarre Odors
If you smell burning, especially if you also see sparks, that’s a sign you’re dealing with overheating from faulty wiring or overloaded circuits.
Outlets or Switches Are Hot
Wiring issues and overloading can also cause your switches or outlets to become hot to the touch.
Strange Noises
Hearing buzzing, sizzling, or humming coming from your electrical fixtures, outlets, or switches can mean the connections are loose or faulty.
Electrical Shocks
If you plug something in or touch your light switch and experience an electric shock, it may be a lack of adequate grounding, a defective switch, or another symptom of faulty wiring.

Electrical Repair Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve put together answers to common questions we receive about repair services for homes’ electrical systems.
Why don’t my light switches work with my light fixtures?
When this happens, you may be dealing with a tripped circuit stopping the power flow between your light fixture and your switch. You may also be experiencing wiring that’s damaged or issues with your light fixture’s light sockets. Contact us at Absolute Services, and we’ll investigate what’s causing the problem so we can provide a remedy.
What does “short circuit” mean?
We say something is a “short circuit” when the electrical current doesn’t follow the path intended and, instead, goes down a path of lower resistance. This can cause a power surge leading to hazards like sparks and damaged electronics.
What are the benefits of a GCFI outlet?
GCFI means “Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter), and they’re outlets intended to prevent electric shocks from outlets when electricity leaves the path it’s intended to follow. It does this by turning off power when an electrical anomaly is detected. They keep you safe, which is their main benefit. You can tell whether your outlet is GCFI by looking at the outlet and checking for “reset” and “test” buttons. The “reset” button is especially useful, since that’s how you turn on the power to the outlet after it shuts off. If that doesn’t work, make sure to contact our team for repairs as soon as possible.
Can I perform electrical repairs myself?
We don’t recommend those who aren’t trained electricians perform electrical repair work. That’s because working with electricity is incredibly dangerous, and it requires special know-how to avoid safety risks such as electrocution and starting fires. Absolute Services is here to help with all your electrical repairs in Louisville, KY and beyond.
How long do electrical repairs tend to take?
A large amount of electrical repairs only take a few hours, however if the issue requires panel or wiring repairs you may be looking at a longer timeline. For a more exact estimate, contact us at Absolute Services. Our team can give you a better idea of how long your specific project will take.
