When should I call an electrician?
Call when you see warning signs in your outlets, switches, lights or panel. NFPA lists frequent tripping breakers, warm or discolored outlets, flickering or dimming lights and sparks from an outlet. TDLR says non-exempt electrical work in Texas must go through a licensed electrical contractor. Never open a panel, outlet box or fixture yourself. See our electrical warning signs guide for a longer list.
