When Outlets Spark or Lights Flicker, Here’s What Could Be Happening

Older homes often develop electrical issues that impact both safety and performance. Common warning signs include flickering lights, frequently tripped breakers, or outlets that spark unexpectedly. You may also notice hot switches, faulty ceiling fans, or burning smells near outlets or inside walls.

Additional red flags include outdated fuse boxes or undersized panels that struggle to handle modern electrical loads, particularly when powering high-demand appliances or electric vehicle (EV) chargers. Inconsistent power or unusually high energy bills may point to aging or inefficient wiring.

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s best not to delay. Can evaluate your system, identify the source of the problem, and deliver lasting repairs, from panel upgrades to full rewiring.

A professional inspection can help prevent future hazards, ensure your system meets code, and keep your home running safely and efficiently.

San Diego Electrician Reviews

“Javier came out today and did a fantastic job performing a couple of electrical outlet drops at our business. He performed the job in the middle of a very busy office, and took the utmost care, while being super tidy and performing quality work! This is our second experience with Carini Home Services, and they have both been very positive. We will definitely use this company in the future. Thank you Javier for being so courteous and personable.”

“Javier G. rejuvenated my meter boxes within my electrical panel. He also noticed that I needed to find a way to neutralize the impact of the sun on my electrical panel. The heat from the sun degraded the integrity of my meter boxes by corroding the wires and connections at a high rate. Thank you for pointing that out. Otherwise, I will have the same problem sooner rather than later.”

-Miko

“I had an electrical emergency, flickering lights and an arcing panel. Carini sent a same day electrician. He was very professional, thorough, and safety conscious. They had my power back on that day.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a GFCI outlet, and do I need one?

A GFCI outlet is your shield against electric shock, instantly cutting power when it senses a ground fault. California building codes mandate these lifesavers in moisture-prone areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor areas. If your home lacks them, call a licensed electrical pro to ensure safety and compliance.

Why do my circuit breakers keep tripping?

Breakers trip to protect your home from electrical overloads or short circuits. Common reasons for frequent trips include:

• Overloaded circuits (too many devices on one circuit)
• Short circuits (faulty wiring or damaged outlets)
• Ground faults (moisture-related issues)

If your breaker keeps tripping, especially in older homes with outdated panels or overloaded circuits, consider upgrading your electrical panel or installing a dedicated circuit. Our licensed electrical contractor can pinpoint the issue and offer long-term, code-compliant solutions that improve safety and performance.

What does it mean if my light switch feels hot?

A hot light switch is a red flag. It often means:

• The switch is overloaded
• The wiring is loose or faulty.
• The dimmer is incompatible with the lighting load.

This issue is widespread in older homes with aging or improperly grounded wiring. A hot switch can be a serious fire hazard, so it’s essential to have a certified electrical inspector replace any faulty components before they become dangerous.
