Signs Your Hollister Home May Need Electrical Attention

It may be time to call a licensed Hollister electrician if you notice any of the following:

Breakers that trip frequently or feel warm

Often indicates overloaded circuits, failing breakers, or wiring problems that need evaluation.

Lights that flicker, dim, or pulsate

Can point to loose connections, voltage drops, or overloaded circuits.

Loose, cracked, buzzing, or discolored outlets & switches

Damaged or noisy devices are a safety risk and should be replaced properly.

Older two-prong outlets with no ground

Usually indicates older, ungrounded wiring that should be evaluated and updated where feasible.

Burning smells, crackling sounds, or hot panels

Signs of heat or arcing should be treated as urgent safety concerns.

Heavy loads on extension cords or power strips

Appliances and equipment should be on permanent wiring and dedicated circuits—not temporary cords.

No GFCI protection in key areas

GFCI outlets are critical near sinks, garages, and outdoors to reduce shock risk.
