When electrical issues start in your commercial space, it’s important to act quickly to have them resolved. The longer you wait to address commercial wiring issues, the more likely it is for problems to progress and cause more serious damage. Below, we’ll go over some of the most common signs that your commercial wiring setup is faulty and needs to be repaired or replaced.
- Inconsistent lighting. When your commercial wiring begins to wear down or becomes damaged, one of the first indicators is inconsistent lighting. Pay attention to how your lights function when they’re on. Are they dim or flickering? If so, you’ll want to hire an electrician for a closer inspection.
- Burning smell. Many different electrical issues can cause fire hazards. Make note of any burning smells around your electrical outlets or panels. This smell could indicate faulty wiring and may even lead to an electrical fire, so you should call an electrician immediately to protect your property and everyone in it.
- Tripped breakers. Breakers trip sometimes and this doesn’t always mean there’s an issue. However, breakers that trip frequently are cause for concern. Frequently tripped breakers could indicate that the current commercial wiring setup isn’t equipped to handle your building’s electrical needs. It could also indicate that some of the present equipment or wiring has been damaged.
