When to Call an Electrician

Not every electrical issue feels urgent, but in older homes and buildings around Danville, small problems can turn into bigger ones fast. If your panel, outlets, or lights aren’t working like they should, it’s a good time to have a licensed electrician take a look. Here’s what to watch for.

Jeremey and Lane did an amazing job, quick to respond and cleaned up the space before leaving.
Also mounted the ventilation fan for us even though they only had to do a plumbing job (which they didn't have to do for us)

We’ve used CU Trade Services a couple of times for electrical work, and their techs are excellent and professional. They also clean up extremely well after their work. Highly recommended, and we will definitely use them moving forward.

Electrical FAQs

Breakers trip to protect your home when there’s too much electrical demand on a circuit or a wiring problem. Common causes include overloaded circuits, faulty appliances, or a short circuit. If it happens frequently, have us take a look— we’ll track down the issue and get it fixed safely.

If your panel is over 25 years old, still uses fuses instead of breakers, or you’re adding new appliances and systems to your home, it may be time for an upgrade. Outdated panels might not meet current safety codes and could pose a fire risk. We can assess your panel and recommend the best solution.

Flickering or dimming lights can happen for a few reasons:

  • Loose wiring or connections
  • Overloaded circuits
  • Aging fixtures
  • Issues at the electrical panel
  • Non-dimmable bulbs used with a dimmer switch

If it’s happening often or across multiple rooms, it’s time to get it checked. We’ll track down the cause and take care of it before it turns into a bigger issue.

Signs of unsafe or outdated wiring include frequent breaker trips, buzzing outlets, warm switch plates, flickering lights, or two-prong outlets. Homes built before the 1970s may still have older wiring that’s no longer safe. We can conduct a safety inspection and inform you if any updates are required.

In most areas, permits are required for major electrical changes like panel upgrades, new circuit installations, rewiring, or installing backup generators. We pull the necessary permits for every job we’re on, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Here are a few smart ways to lower your energy use:

  • Switch to LED bulbs—they use less power and last longer

  • Unplug electronics and chargers when not in use

  • Use programmable or smart thermostats to manage heating and cooling

  • Have your electrical system inspected for outdated wiring or inefficient appliances

  • Consider whole-home surge protection and other energy-efficient upgrades

Small changes add up. We can help you spot what’s worth updating to keep costs down.

If an outlet or plug feels warm to the touch, it could be a sign of loose wiring, an overloaded circuit, or a failing outlet. While some slight warmth can be normal for high-power devices like space heaters or hair dryers while in use, the outlet itself should never feel hot. If you notice this, have us take a look right away — it could be a warning sign of a larger electrical issue or fire hazard.

We recommend having a licensed professional inspect your home’s electrical system at least every 3-5 years, or anytime you notice signs of trouble like frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, or outdated outlets. Regular inspections help catch small issues before they become major problems.

The easiest way to stay on top of it? Join our service plan! We’ll handle routine electrical safety checks for you so you don’t have to remember when it’s due, giving you peace of mind year after year.

We handle a wide range of electrical work—from basic repairs and fixture installs to panel upgrades, EV chargers, Generac generators, surge protection, and solar system installations. Not sure if we do it? Just ask. If it runs on electricity, there’s a good chance we’ve done it before.
