So no matter which electrical issues you experience in your Pasadena house or apartment, you can be sure that our RG electrician<\/a><\/strong> crew has the skills to overcome any residential electrical culprits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Indeed, electrical problems can be very stressful. For example, you may be scared stiff when a sudden power outage occurs, or you start hearing strange buzzing sounds from a circuit breaker. Even when this happens, it doesn\u2019t mean stopping your busy life. You can trust RG Electric<\/strong> to help you in any emergency. In addition, we can help with upgrading your wiring and circuit breakers. If you need to replace switches and outlets<\/a> with modern and energy-efficient models, we can do that as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You plug in one of your appliances or devices and notice an outlet has become warm and even hot. We were startled to learn how many people think it’s normal and attribute it to a temporary \u201cnot a big deal\u201d problem. But we and any other qualified technician would tell you that it isn\u2019t OK. It\u2019s like playing with the fire \u2013 you should never ignore the hot outlet. On the contrary, unplug any cords, or if the problem is with the switch, turn off your circuit breaker and call a Pasadena electrician service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How can RG Electric help? We’ll troubleshoot your electricals for possible problems. For example, if the outlet is broken, we\u2019ll replace it. Similarly, faulty plugs on your appliances can also heat the outlet. We’ll replace or repair them as needed if this is the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While some problems can be caused by a loose connection behind electrical switches and outlets, others arise due to an overloaded circuit. Only qualified electricians can uncover the real problem responsible for the hot outlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We keep receiving calls from our clients complaining about lights flickering in their house<\/a>. This is such a frequent electrical problem that it deserves close attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes, the issue can be resolved by replacing a broken outlet or tightening a loose bulb, causing a flicker. When this happens, flickering lights usually affect one area in the house. However, more serious causes often lie in the circuit breaker box or at the utility panel outside your home, especially if flickering persists in multiple rooms or throughout the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To be safe, contact RG Electric, and we’ll dispatch a Pasadena electrician to handle the maintenance diagnosis for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your home was built between 1965 and 1972 and you have never changed wiring, it means that your electricals run on aluminum wiring. Then, sparks coming out of an outlet are likely a result of a faulty connection between the outlet and your home\u2019s aluminum wiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Homes built after 1972 follow the golden standard requiring copper wiring instead because it doesn’t heat up; it’s more conductive and harder. According to the US. Consumer Product Safety Commission, aluminum wiring is about 55 times more likely to trigger hazardous connection than copper wire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Often, our clients didn’t know if their homes had the old wiring. Unfortunately, it happens a lot as sellers usually don’t disclose it, so they learn about aluminum wiring during the electrical inspection. This is a real problem, first, because it is extremely dangerous, and secondly, insurers are very reluctant to insure homes that have aluminum wiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you think now that you live in potentially hazardous conditions, we can provide the following wiring services<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This solution involves installing new copper wiring from the electrical service panel to all switches and outlets. Although new rewiring comes down to money, it\u2019s the best and safest option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pig tailing is a compromise solution in terms of price. It assumes connecting extension copper wires to the edges of the current aluminum wires applied to your switches and outlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our licensed Pasadena electrician will inspect the home and help you decide about the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Burning wiring or circuit smell in the house should alert anyone. It means that electrical wiring reaches a heat level when plastic sheathing starts to melt. Consequently, this could lead to a fire risk, requiring immediate action. So what can cause the kind of smell?<\/p>\n\n\n\n the electrical box<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our RG Electric technicians will arrive at your place and troubleshoot everything from switches and outlets to circuit breakers if you face an electrical emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ungrounded electrical system poses a significant danger. If electrical connections are not connected to the earth or ground, they can cause a harmful electric shock and fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A grounded electrical network uses three-prong plugs and outlets. Therefore, if a high electrical current occurs, it will go to the earth instead of harming someone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Regrettably, some homes in Pasadena, CA, don’t have a three-prong electrical socket or plugs. With the ungrounded electrical system, you can easily receive a shock when touching a metal object or, for example, when installing ceiling fans<\/a> or other electrical fixtures that have metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your house is old, it’s vital to have your electrical wiring inspected by RG Electric. Our Pasadena electricians from Los Angeles, CA, can detect the existing issues that can lead to high-risk situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If outdoor bulbs get burnt once in a while, there\u2019s nothing to worry about. However, if it happens too often and you are getting annoyed with replacing them over and over again, it could be a sign of deeper problems. Another widespread problem is poor connection due to water penetrating the lighting system. If the wiring connections are not waterproof initially, subsequent interaction with them can put you at risk of electrocution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We can address any issue, whether you need to replace outdoor bulbs or resolve more serious problems, like malfunctioning wiring or incorrect outdoor lighting installation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Professionally installed indoor lighting can transform the entire house. If you are looking to replace outdated lighting fixtures or add novelty to your interior, we can replace and install all known types of lights<\/a>. For example, we can install recessed or canned lighting even on your walls. Or, if you lack light in the kitchen or offices, we can add spotlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Energy-efficient lights such as fluorescent and LED are becoming popular in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages. And, of course, chandeliers that can be beautifully hung from the ceilings in areas like dining rooms, halls, and other open areas can be installed based on your house interior design and personal preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Pasadena electrician services, you can be sure that your lighting fixtures will be gorgeous. Even more, we guarantee 100% safety and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many electrical issues described above can lead to an emergency. For example, if you feel a burning smell, your electrical outlet is hot, a circuit breaker or GFCI keeps tripping or won\u2019t reset<\/a>, lights flicker, and you hear buzzing noise \u2013 these are red flags of underlying electrical emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFixing the Hot Outlet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
