Common Electrical Problems Business Owners Encounter

Business owners have enough to worry about without having to be concerned about the infrastructure that surrounds them. In a perfect world, executives would never have to deal with issues outside of daily business operations, but unfortunately sometimes the unexpected does happen. When it comes to electrical services and electric repair, it’s best to rely on a professional electric company to identify and fix your issues in the most efficient and affordable way possible. While not something to lose sleep over, here are three of the most common electric repair or electrical improvements you may potentially encounter as a business owner.

Old Systems and Wiring

Depending on the age of your building, there is a decent chance that the wiring or electric systems already in place may be a bit outdated. If you notice flickering or sparks coming out of your outlets, faulty wiring may be to blame. Faulty wiring and outdated systems are reason enough to hire a licensed electrician to come in and fix the problem. While it is necessary to complete this electric repair, doing so yourself is dangerous and should be left exclusively to the professionals.

Power Surges

Power surges are one of the most common and easily recognizable electrical problems that a business owner may encounter. Surges are most often caused by severe storms or by overloading your electrical system too strong of a draw. Old or broken appliances can also be the culprit. Sometimes a power surge will lead to an extended period of time without power, but oftentimes the power can surge, come back on, and not seem like a problem at all. However, no surge is a good surge and frequent issues require electrical improvements. Here again, hire a licensed electrician to address the issue safely.

Overloaded Circuit Breaker

Circuit breakers are essential for keeping your building’s electric use in check. For businesses with major electrical draws, however, it is not uncommon to overload your breaker and trips it frequently. To combat this, the transition to energy-efficient appliances and tools or establish a schedule to avoid regular overloads. If the problem persists it may be time to explore electrical improvements for your business.

Electrical issues are not something to take lightly. Not only can they threaten your daily business operations, but they can also be a major safety hazard. Fixing electrical problems also poses a major risk, and for that reason, all electrical repairs should be handled by a professional.

Full disclosure - I am Harm's sister but I've decided that it's finally time to leave his company a review. You can see through the 200 + reviews that Harm and his team are reliable. My husband and I have used Wireman for a number of years for various projects. They do great work and leave the site clean. On top of that, Harm is easy to deal with and is honest when providing electrical advice. Keep up the great work!

Harm was extremely professional and committed, persisting to find a solution for our portable power situation. He worked with us to get our portable onto a dedicated electrical service instead of being powered by a gas generator! As a non-profit organization, every penny counts and this will lower our costs and our carbon footprint. Thank you to Harm and your team for a great job!!

Second time using their services because I was impressed by the great service they provided regarding installing my bathroom fan. Ali came this time to fix 2 outlets in my kitchen. After checking both out, it turned out only 1 needed fixing. He explained to me what the issue was and also checked out why 1 outlet that had a smart plug that was not working. Don't call anyone else! This company is the best.
