Essential Works Electric | Professional Electrical Company in Rialto, CA

Yes, flickering lights, particularly in upper floors, can be a warning sign of faulty or overloaded attic wiring, a common issue in our area due to heat and aging infrastructure. This can lead to dangerous short circuits. Essential Works Electric recommends a professional electrical inspection. We'll safely access your attic, check the wiring condition and connections at fixtures, and perform any necessary repairs or upgrades to your circuit breaker or panel to ensure your home's safety.

Preparing for a PSPS starts with a healthy electrical panel and proper backup planning. We recommend scheduling an electric panel inspection and repair with Essential Works Electric to ensure it can handle re-energization safely after an outage. Furthermore, we can install a manual transfer switch and a dedicated circuit for a backup generator, allowing you to safely power essential circuits. For electric vehicle owners, we also advise planning charging around potential shutdown alerts.

This often indicates a tripped circuit breaker or a faulty outlet that was affected by the power fluctuation. First, check your main electrical panel for any breakers in the 'off' position and try resetting them. If the problem persists or the breaker trips again immediately, do not keep resetting it. This is a sign of a deeper issue, like a short circuit or damaged wiring, which requires professional electric repair. Contact Essential Works Electric for a safe diagnosis and repair to prevent a fire hazard, especially if the affected room is near the attic.
