It’s not always obvious when your electrical system needs attention, but there are some clear warning signs to watch for. Frequent power outages, flickering or dimming lights, sparking power points and circuit breakers that trip regularly are all indicators something isn’t right. You might also notice buzzing sounds, burning smells near outlets or switches that feel warm to the touch—these can signal a serious safety risk.
Older homes, in particular, may have outdated wiring or overloaded switchboards that aren’t equipped to handle modern appliances and devices. If you're unsure, it’s best to have a licensed electrician inspect your system. At Watkins Electrical, we offer prompt assessments and honest advice to help keep your home safe, compliant and up to date.
