Common Questions
Why does my arc fault breaker keep tripping in my Tempe home?
In Tempe, a common culprit is loose wiring caused by our extreme heat and thermal expansion. As wires heat up and cool down, connections can loosen over time, creating tiny electrical arcs that the AFCI is designed to detect and shut off. An Ogden Electric inspection can pinpoint these loose connections, damaged wires, or other faults in the circuit to resolve the nuisance trips and restore safe, reliable power.
How can an electrical inspection prevent problems from thermal expansion?
Our detailed electrical inspection includes checking and tightening all critical connections in your panel, outlets, and switches. By proactively securing these points, we mitigate the risk of them loosening due to Tempe's temperature swings. This preventative step enhances safety, improves system reliability, and can prevent future issues like arc faults, flickering lights, or overheating components.
What should I look for to know if I have loose wiring?
Signs include frequently tripping breakers (especially AFCIs), outlets or switches that feel warm to the touch, a burning smell from an outlet, flickering lights, or intermittent power loss. If you notice any of these warning signs in your Tempe home, it's time for a professional inspection. Ogden Electric can safely diagnose and repair loose wiring before it becomes a serious hazard.
