It's Time To Call An Electrician When...

Why do parents insert safety plugs into electrical outlets

? Because curious toddlers can be killed by seeing if their wee little fingers fit inside the outlet's holes. It's not a joke, and most adults understand in theory, if not in practice, how dangerous electricity can be.

An electric current is caused by electrons flowing from one atom to the next in matter, looking for a new home in which to find balance. When that current is created in a metal wire, the resulting electricity can be used to power lights, your computer, and your blender. In fact, it's difficult to imagine life without electricity because nearly every aspect of our daily routines include it. From waking up to the annoying beep of your digital clock to switching out the lights when you've crawled back into bed at the end of the day, electricity is essential in making our world go around.

The electrical system in your home was installed during construction so that it could be hidden away behind walls and above ceilings. This is for both aesthetic and safety reasons, and in order to allow people to live in the house, the contractor had to have the electrical system inspected. Even if you're a DIY king or queen, here are the guidelines as to when to call your local electrician in Friendswood or Dallas - wherever you live - instead of relying on your own abilities:

When odd things are happening, it's time to call a professional. For instance, if the breakers keep tripping, the lights are dimming when the furnace or air conditioner turns on, or you notice that curious, ionic smell of electricity burning, you're going to want to have someone well trained and highly skilled to pinpoint the problem and make sure the solution actually makes you safer. DIY at this point can be dangerous unless you happen to be an electrician. Electricians go through rigorous and lengthy training simply because electricity can be so deadly, even if it is essential to our daily lives.

If you're doing a home remodel and need to move outlets (or add outlets, or update from two- to three-pronged outlets), want to add wired-in lighting, or need advice about how much of a load any single outlet can take, call an electrician. Even if you're switching out your dining room chandelier and you aren't really sure of yourself when it comes to wiring, call your friendly professional. It's much better to be safe than sorry.

Electricity must be respected for its power, but contained and utilized safely, it is one of the biggest boons to humanity since sanitation practices were discovered. Respect the power and call your electrician for repairs or remodels.
