Electrical Repair FAQs

Common warning signs include flickering lights, frequently tripped breakers, buzzing outlets, burning odors, warm switches, sparks, and outlets that no longer work. These problems should be inspected by a licensed electrician before they become more serious safety hazards.
A circuit breaker may trip because the circuit is overloaded, an appliance is malfunctioning, or there is a short circuit or ground fault. If resetting the breaker does not solve the problem, FLAME can inspect the circuit, wiring, and electrical panel to determine what is causing the interruption.
Flickering lights may be caused by a loose bulb, damaged switch, overloaded circuit, loose wiring, or an electrical panel problem. Frequent flickering throughout a Metro Detroit home should be evaluated by a licensed electrician, especially when it occurs while appliances or HVAC equipment are running.
Yes. A burning odor, smoke, sparks, scorching, or unusual heat near an outlet, switch, or electrical panel can indicate damaged wiring or an active fire hazard. Turn off power to the affected area when it is safe to do so and contact FLAME for professional electrical repair as soon as possible.
A dead outlet may be caused by a tripped breaker, a tripped GFCI device, a loose connection, damaged wiring, or a worn outlet. Avoid repeatedly resetting breakers or attempting repairs yourself. A professional electrician can test the outlet and find the source of the failure.
Yes. Older homes in Detroit, Warren, Dearborn, Livonia, and surrounding communities may have aging wiring, outdated electrical panels, damaged outlets, or circuits that were not designed for modern electrical demands. FLAME can evaluate the system and recommend appropriate wiring or rewiring repairs.
FLAME’s electrical evaluation may include checking switches, outlets, GFCI devices, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, grounding, outdoor devices, dedicated circuits, breaker connections, electrical panel labeling, and damaged electrical covers. The inspection helps identify safety problems and determine which repairs are needed.
Yes. Heavy snow, ice, strong winds, lightning, and utility outages can damage electrical components or cause power surges. After a severe storm, contact an electrician if you notice partial power loss, frequently tripped breakers, damaged outdoor wiring, flickering lights, or unusual sounds from the electrical panel.
Electrical repairs can expose you to shock, fire, and electrocution risks. Tasks involving wiring, panels, breakers, outlets, and live electrical components should be handled by a licensed and insured electrician who can complete the work safely and according to Michigan electrical requirements.
