Electrical Repair

A light switch that’s hot to the touch is a serious concern. As light switches age and components wear out, the exposed wires can generate sparks when turned on or off. If you have a hot light switch, it can become an electrical hazard. We recommend you call an electrician as soon as possible.

There are many reasons your circuit may continue to trip. We recommend leaving it in the tripped position and having Black Diamond out as soon as possible. You want to avoid continuous resetting of a breaker, as it’s an indicator that could cause more harm than good.

If your lights are tightly screwed into the fixture but still flickering, it’s usually because of a fluctuation in the household voltage. However, it can also be caused by a faulty circuit breaker or a loose electrical connection, so you’ll want to have a certified electrician confirm the cause.

If your home is still using fuses, you might want to consider a panel upgrade, as fuses are outdated.

It’s not advisable. Electrical systems are hazardous, and one mistake is all it takes to cause serious injury. Unless you’re a licensed electrician, you should always contact a professional to perform service on your electrical systems.
