When I saw flames coming from my light sockets, I knew there was a problem, then i called my hubby, plus he told myself and others to search for an electrician near me; He said I should have several local electricians plus ask them to inspect the house plus supply us an estimate of what needed to be done, all of us didn’t want faulty electric wiring to cause a house fire, my parents’ house burnt down right after Christmas about several years earlier.
Even though the house had recently been remodeled, the contractor hadn’t looked in the attic or basement.
It was their fault they had not completely updated the wiring, but that was up to the insurance supplier to handle the contractor who hired the electrician, but thinking about that house, I called the several electricians near myself and others plus asked them to look at my wiring. I explained what was happening with the flames when I clogged something into the wall. I was also upfront about asking other electricians for estimates. The first electrician thought I had a faulty outlet, although I didn’t want his thoughts. I wanted the opinion of a licensed electrician. The minute electrician looked at the wiring, plus he took the light switches plus plugs out of the wall plus checked them all. He thought it could have been the appliance. The sixth electrician told myself and others he could not possibly do a nice inspection in an minute or multiple. He was going to come to the house plus bring some meters that would measure electrical flow, plus he could better pinpoint the reason for the flames. All of us hired him because he was thorough.
