Basic Electrical Troubleshooting Steps for Homeowners
While major electrical work requires a professional, you can safely perform a few preliminary checks before calling an electrician:
- Check the Breaker Panel: Look for tripped circuit breakers and reset them if needed. If a breaker trips again immediately, call an electrician.
- Inspect Outlets and Switches: Make sure outlets aren’t overloaded and check for signs of burning or discoloration.
- Test GFCI Outlets: Press the “reset” button on Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlets to restore power if tripped.
- Unplug Problem Appliances: If a particular device causes issues, disconnect it to see if the problem stops.
- Look for Obvious Damage: Frayed cords, exposed wires, or a burning smell indicate serious hazards—contact a professional right away.
These basic steps can prevent further damage while you wait for a trusted local electrician to complete a full inspection.
