Why Homeowners Call Rhema
Common Questions About Electrical Wiring
There are several signs that something isn’t right with your home’s wiring. If your breakers trip often, lights flicker, or you notice warm outlets or switches, those are clear signals to call an electrician. Other warning signs include:
- Burning smells coming from outlets or switches
- Sparking when plugging something in
- Buzzing sounds from walls or electrical panels
- Shocks when touching outlets or appliances
- Black or brown marks on outlet covers
- Old or damaged wiring, especially if your home is several decades old
You might also notice high electric bills or water damage near electrical components—both can mean trouble. If you spot any of these issues, stop using the affected area and give Rhema Electric a call. We’ll inspect it and keep your home safe.
It depends on when and where the flickering happens. If it starts when you turn on large appliances, like the dryer or microwave, you may have an overloaded circuit. This can sometimes be solved by unplugging a few devices or spreading them across different outlets.
But if the flickering seems random, happens in several rooms, or comes with buzzing, warm outlets, or burning smells, your home may have outdated or damaged wiring. That’s especially likely if the house is older and hasn’t had recent electrical work.
When in doubt, call Rhema. We can figure out what’s going on and help prevent future problems.
Installing electrical wiring means creating a safe pathway for electricity to travel through your home. Our team runs wires from the main panel to each room, connects outlets, switches, and light fixtures, and installs breakers that control different parts of the house.
We follow all local codes and safety rules and make sure everything is labeled, connected, and working the way it should. Whether you’re building, remodeling, or updating old wires, Rhema Electric is here to handle it carefully and efficiently.
A wiring diagram is like a map for your electrical system. It shows how everything connects, from your panel to your outlets, switches, and fixtures.
These diagrams help electricians plan the layout, make sure everything is wired safely, and find issues faster during repairs. At Rhema Electric, we may use wiring diagrams to keep our work organized, safe, and efficient, especially on new builds or major rewiring projects.
If your home is older or you’ve added appliances without upgrading the electrical system, your wiring may not meet current code requirements. Signs of outdated wiring include two-prong outlets, frequent breaker trips, buzzing switches, or aluminum wiring.
Our certified electricians can perform a full inspection and let you know where updates may be needed to bring your home up to today’s safety standards.
