Your home’s electrical system is the backbone of your daily life—powering everything from lights to appliances. But over time, wiring and panels can become outdated or overloaded. Here are five common warning signs that it’s time to call a licensed electrician.

1. Flickering or dimming lights – If your lights dim when appliances turn on, your system may be overloaded.

2. Frequent breaker trips – Circuit breakers are designed to protect your home. If they’re tripping regularly, it’s a red flag.

3. Outlets that feel warm or spark – This can indicate faulty wiring and is a serious fire hazard.

4. Lack of outlets – If you’re relying on power bars and extension cords, your home may need additional circuits.

5. Old electrical panel – Homes with panels over 25 years old often can’t handle today’s energy demands.
