Electrical Troubleshooting & Repairs in Murrieta

If you have an older home, you may experience strains on your electrical system. Outdated wiring can cause inefficiency. Trust The Faith Electric Group, Inc. for quick troubleshooting to return power to your home.

Schedule an electrical repair in Murrieta if you are experiencing any of the following problems:

• Surges: These last for only a second and are usually caused by poor wiring or lightning strikes. If you experience frequent surges, it can degrade the lifespan of your appliances. Unplug electronics during a storm and use surge protector outlets or power strips to protect your electronics. Call our experts to inspect your wiring if you experience frequent surges.
• Overloading circuits: When you use appliances or lights with a higher wattage than the circuit can handle, it can damage your sockets and wires. Check for the correct wattage of lightbulbs for devices. If this happens often, you may have too little power going to the circuits in your home. We can upgrade your electrical panel or install more outlets that better fit your needs.

• Flickering lights: Frayed wiring can cause shorts when the cables move. This is dangerous and can lead to a fire. Ensure your lightbulb is correctly tightened; if this doesn’t stop the flickering, trust our team to find the problem and protect your home from a potential fire.
• High electrical bills: A higher bill could be from frequent power surges or vampire appliances. Unplug chargers or other appliances when not in use; even if they are “off,” they’re still draining power when they’re plugged in. Also, look for damaged wiring or circuits that could be causing surges and repair them to lower your bill.
• Tripping circuit breakers: Your circuit breaker delegates incoming power to different circuits. Breakers trip to protect your electrical system from too much voltage. This can happen occasionally, but frequently tripping breakers is a sign your circuits may need to be replaced.
• Malfunctioning outlets: Outlets often fail because of a short and need to be replaced. Consider upgrading to a GFCI outlet that will automatically shut off when it detects a fault.
• Outdated wiring: Your older home may have outdated wiring, which puts you at risk of an electrical fire. If your house is over 40 years old, or if you have extension cords on most of your outlets, your current system may not be meeting your power demands. Trust our team for quality repairs when you need them the most.
