- Lights That Dim or Flicker: Power-hungry appliances can cause these problems – especially in older homes. This includes high-efficiency HVAC systems, washers and dryers, televisions, and more.
- Weird Smells: If you smell something coming from your outlets, turn the appliance off and disconnect it. Strange smells are unusual and signal serious problems. After that, call our electricians. We might need to upgrade your wiring.
- Sparks Flying: It might seem obvious, but it is never good to see sparks flying from your outlets or any other place in your electrical system. An outdated, faulty, or unsafe electrical wiring system could be the culprit.
- Overheating Outlets: Outlets should never feel hot. If one does, it is a sign of an electrical issue. We have years of experience identifying root causes. We do not suggest DIY solutions due to the possibility of injury.

Copper Vs. Aluminum Wiring: How to Make the Right Choice
There is no single factor more important than others when choosing wiring. For instance, copper is a better conductor of electricity, and it isn’t close. But that isn’t the only thing our professionals consider when we perform wire preparation. It is important to understand that electrical wiring is complex, and completing projects correctly requires extensive knowledge of electrical concepts. In addition to conducting electricity, we consider the following elements:
- Cable Size: If you have high-voltage needs for longer distances, your best bet is aluminum. It is more economical and conducts electricity better in this circumstance.
- Insulation Materials: Aluminum has 61 percent of copper’s conductivity but only 30 percent of its weight. The insulation materials used are also beneficial if you choose aluminum.
