One of the first things you do when entering your home is to reach for the light switch to see where you’re going, and next, you might plug in your cellphone. As some of the most commonly used electrical components, switches and outlets wear out over time and eventually need replacement. New constructions, remodels, and even upgrades need to consider the increase in electricity that affects outlets and associated switches. For over 20 years, the local Lawrenceville electricians at Kalahari Electrical Services are trusted by residential and commercial customers for a top-quality outlet and switch services.

When You Should Call an Electrician

There is no reason to undertake the installation or replacement of switches and outlets on your own, even though it may seem like a DIY project. Electrocution is a real threat, and so is damaging your home’s existing electrical system with an incomplete job. Only a skilled, experienced technician should undertake any job involving switches and outlets in Lawrenceville or the Atlanta Metro.

Contact us if you experience the following:

• Strange smell near the outlet
• Spark when using the plug
• No electricity from the outlet
• The faceplate or the outlet or switch is warm to the touch
• A slight electrical shock when using a switch or outlet
• Plugs fall out of the outlet
• Frequently tripping breakers

How to Test If an Outlet Is Working Properly

At Kalahari Electrical we want to help keep you informed on everything electric. We are well-established Atlanta electrical contractors and are available for your needs. Often times we go to our clients’ homes and find that their outlets are either malfunctioning or not working at all. This month we want to discuss how you can test to see if your outlet is working properly.

There are a few steps that we recommend taking when checking to see if an outlet works especially before calling out an electrician. First and foremost, make sure that all switches that could be attached to that particular outlet are turned on. The next thing that you want to make sure and check is that the circuit breaker or fuse is intact that is in connection with that outlet. Often times outlets are tripped and simply need to be flipped in the circuit breaker. Once you have completed these steps, now you can test the outlet! It is often as simple as plugging in light and seeing if you can turn it on. If the light doesn’t turn on you can assume there is no current in the socket and you should call a professional to repair it.
