Home electrical safety is paramount for every homeowner. While it’s easy to overlook, the electrical systems in our homes are vital, and ensuring they are safe is a top priority. Professional electricians play a key role in preventing electrical hazards. At Synergy Electric Solutions, we are licensed and experienced electrical contractors dedicated to providing professional and reliable services to protect your home from potential electrical dangers.
The Role of a Professional Electrician
Hiring a professional, licensed electrician is the first step toward a safe home. Our team at Synergy Electric Solutions offers peace of mind by identifying and addressing risks that a homeowner might miss. With over 20 years of experience, we provide reliable and long-lasting systems that protect your family and property.
Key Practices for Ensuring Electrical Safety
Professional electricians use a variety of methods to ensure the safety of your home’s electrical system:
- Wiring Checks and Upgrades: Outdated or faulty wiring is a significant safety concern and can pose a fire risk. Our electricians inspect your home’s wiring for signs of wear and tear, and perform necessary repairs or upgrades to ensure everything is up to code.
- Circuit Breaker Testing and Panel Upgrades: Circuit breakers are designed to protect your home from power overloads. We test your circuit breakers to make sure they are functioning correctly and can recommend and perform panel upgrades for older homes that can’t handle modern electrical loads.
- Surge Protection Installation: Power surges can damage expensive electronics and appliances. We can install whole-home surge protection systems to protect your devices from unexpected electrical spikes.
- Adherence to Electrical Codes: Our licensed electrical contractors are experts in local and national electrical codes. This ensures that all new installations and repairs are safe and compliant with regulations, avoiding potential issues down the line.

Solar Energy and Safety
Solar power is a clean, efficient energy solution that can lower utility costs, increase energy independence, and reduce your carbon footprint.

We also offer backup power and battery storage solutions to ensure you have uninterrupted power, even when the grid goes down.
When to Call a Professional
While many homeowners might attempt DIY fixes, specific issues are best left to a professional. Here are some signs it’s time to call a licensed electrician:
- Flickering or Dimming Lights are often a sign of an overloaded circuit or a loose connection within your electrical system. While it may seem like a minor annoyance, it can indicate a serious issue that could lead to a power surge or a fire hazard.
- Frequently Tripped Circuit Breakers: A circuit breaker that trips often is a clear indication that a circuit is overloaded. This could be due to too many appliances plugged into a single circuit, or a more serious wiring problem that requires a professional inspection to prevent potential electrical fires.
- Outlets or Switches that are Hot to the Touch: A hot outlet or switch indicates a buildup of heat, likely from a faulty connection or an overloaded circuit. This is a significant safety risk and a red flag for a potential fire.
- Strange Buzzing Sounds or Burning Smells Coming from Outlets: These are urgent warning signs. A buzzing sound can mean a loose wire, while a burning smell is often a sign of overheating components or insulation. If you notice either of these, turn off the power to the area immediately and contact a professional.
