It may be time to call a licensed Hollister electrician if you notice any of the following:
Often indicates overloaded circuits, failing breakers, or wiring problems that need evaluation.
Can point to loose connections, voltage drops, or overloaded circuits.
Damaged or noisy devices are a safety risk and should be replaced properly.
Usually indicates older, ungrounded wiring that should be evaluated and updated where feasible.
Signs of heat or arcing should be treated as urgent safety concerns.
Appliances and equipment should be on permanent wiring and dedicated circuits—not temporary cords.
GFCI outlets are critical near sinks, garages, and outdoors to reduce shock risk.
