Electrical Outlet Repair And Additions San Diego

Electrical outlets are the portals of power in every home. Malfunctioning outlets are truly inconvenient as it impedes homeowners from making the most of the electrical service in their respective home, but like any electrical fixture, power outlets can eventually wear out, corrode, loosen, or simply fail.

Some of the most common outlet issues in homes include dead power outlets, loose outlets, crackling outlets, and those that spark and have seemingly burnt and browning outlet plates. Homeowners should immediately seek professional repair upon noticing these frustrating power receptacle issues to avoid safety issues and property damage.

Calling a trusted local electrician like Gforce Green Electric Solutions is the best way to go when it comes to addressing power outlet issues. Give us a call anytime, and do not hesitate to get in touch with us even after office hours for electrical outlet emergencies as we provide 24/7 repairs.

What causes power outlets to loosen?

Loose power outlets are usually attributed to receptacle components that get worn out over time. When an outlet has been there for years and is used every single day, the tendency is to wear out through time. When this happens, homeowners should not postpone professional repairs as loose outlets can cause electric shocks and can damage appliances and electrical devices plugged in them.

Homeowners should not shrug off a loose outlet and forego professional electrical or lighting repairs. Repairing a loose outlet is much easier and less expensive compared to the possible damage that it can cause. Moreover, the issue can also indicate a wiring problem, both of which we at Gforce Green Electric Solutions can safely repair for you. Call us up for a free, no-obligation cost estimate.

Why does an outlet have no power or stop working?

Dead outlets are power receptacles where electricity stops flowing. The usual culprits are loose wiring, blown-out fuses, or tripping power breakers. The first thing to do when an outlet seems dead is to check its corresponding breaker in the electric panel. When a circuit overloads, the breaker usually goes off, and so it pays to check the panel first before assuming that the outlet is dead.

Loose outlets on the other hand are easy to repair. Call us up and we will repair it for you right away. We can even assess whether the wirings behind it are still safe enough to use. Homeowners should not fret about these repairs as it can also be taken as an opportunity to at the very least upgrade into a tamper-resistant receptacle if there are kids at home, or to a GFCI or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlet if the receptacle is near a water source.

Never DIY an outlet installation or repair

While repair and DIY outlet installation videos make it appear that the work is simple, it is not what it seems. For one, power outlets have live wires that can instantaneously cause electrical injuries. Any incorrect installation or repair can also lead to appliance or device damage, and worse electrical fires.
