This type of electrical outlet is designed to protect you from electrical shock if moisture is present. They are commonly found in bathrooms, kitchens, outdoor outlets, and garages. They feature test/reset buttons. Depress the “test” button to turn off the GFCI. The “reset” button turns it back on after it has tripped. If it doesn’t reset, you’ve got a problem and will need an electrician.

An outdated electrical panel, often found in older homes, isn’t designed to meet the electricity demands of modern living. Today’s families love their appliances and electronics. If your home’s electrical panel is less than 200 amps, it’s time to enter the modern age with an upgrade.

There are several reasons this could be occurring. However, one particular reason that should be ruled out, for the sake of fire safety, is overheating. A light fixture with poor airflow design will result in excessive heat buildup around the bulb. Having to replace bulbs, again and again, is not just an inconvenience, it’s also a fire hazard. Have your light fixtures inspected by an electrician if you notice that bulbs are constantly blowing out.

There are many factors that could be responsible for a blown fuse. It could be an overloaded circuit, too many electrical appliances on one circuit. It could be that a fuse is blown due to a power surge. The fuse may not have the appropriate capacity for the device it is there to protect. Or it could simply be that the fuse has become old, ineffective, and needs to be replaced.

Our skilled electricians can assist with any residential, retail, or commercial electrical job, from wiring and equipment installation lighting retrofits, and service upgrades to repair and routine maintenance to ensure optimal performance and reduce the risk of sudden shutdown or electrical accidents caused by standard wear and tear.

However, unexpected problems can arise, in which case you can contact Seals Electric for emergency repair work.

Determine the amperage requirements. Calculate the total square footage of livable space, not including unfinished basement, attic, garage, crawl spaces.

If you don’t have power after correctly resetting a circuit breaker, it may be a sign that the breaker is overloaded or that there is a short circuit or faulty wiring to blame. Seals Electric’s certified and licensed electricians inspect and test circuits to diagnose the problem. Breakers wear out over time. If a replacement is needed, we install a robust system with a new breaker panel and overload correction.

Damaged or loose electrical outlets are not only a nuisance; they are a fire hazard. Electrical outlets need to be repaired or replaced if a buzzing sound comes from the outlet, especially when plugging in appliances, outlets generate sparks or have loose-fitting plugs, and/or outlet faces have burn marks.

Seals Electric, LLC provides you with a quote to complete the work at no charge. We must look at each panel location to provide this quote as there are many variables that must be taken into account. Things like panel location, electrical system flexibility, feeder cable length, and, most importantly, the decision to repair or completely replace the panel are important pieces of information we must find out before we begin a job. To provide an accurate quote without this information is impossible.
