Electrical systems are the backbone of any modern home. However, neglecting issues can lead to inefficiencies, high energy bills, or even hazardous situations. At Coastal Electrics, we’ve assisted countless Southampton residents with reliable solutions for all types of electrical problems.
1. Flickering Lights
If your lights flicker, it could be due to loose wiring, overloaded circuits, or a failing fixture. While it may seem minor, flickering lights can indicate larger issues that require professional attention.
2. Frequent Circuit Breaker Trips
A circuit breaker tripping occasionally is normal, but frequent occurrences suggest an overloaded system or faulty appliance. Our electricians can assess your system and prevent future interruptions.
3. Power Outlets Not Working
Dead outlets can result from damaged wiring, tripped breakers, or internal electrical faults. Replacing or repairing faulty outlets ensures safety and convenience.
4. Electrical Shocks
Experiencing a shock when plugging in appliances? This indicates grounding issues or faulty wiring. We strongly recommend contacting a trusted Southampton electrician immediately.
5. High Energy Bills
Outdated or damaged wiring, inefficient appliances, or unbalanced circuits can lead to higher energy consumption. Coastal Electrics offers energy audits to identify and address inefficiencies.
6. Overloaded Circuits
Using multiple high-power appliances on a single circuit can overload your system, causing it to fail. Installing additional circuits is often the safest solution.
7. Dimmer Switch Malfunctions
Buzzing noises or flickering with dimmer switches may indicate compatibility issues or wiring faults. We can help replace or repair dimmers to restore proper functionality.
8. Exposed Wires
Exposed wires are a significant safety hazard, especially in homes with children or pets. Immediate repair is essential to prevent shocks or fires.
9. Outdated Wiring
Older homes in Southampton may still have outdated aluminium wiring, which is prone to overheating. Rewiring ensures safety and compliance with modern electrical standards.
10. Non-Functional Smoke Alarms
Smoke alarms save lives, yet many homes have faulty or expired units. We provide installation and maintenance services to ensure your family is protected.
