  • Shocks or tingles: No good! Even a slight tingle from an outlet or appliance is a warning sign of faulty wiring. Don't risk it – let our qualified electricians diagnose the problem safely.
  • Flickering lights, dimming, or sudden outages: While occasional flickering might be due to a power surge, persistent issues could indicate overloaded circuits or faulty wiring. Get it checked out before it disrupts your daily life.
