Are you worried it may be time to call an electrician in Granite Falls? In some cases, a seemingly faulty outlet is easy to fix on your own. Try these DIY electrical fixes before calling an electrical repair company.

Always Check for Power

It may seem surprising, but one of the most common we find people have with appliances is that they’ve come unplugged. Make sure you check this before calling an electrician. This can save you a lot of time and money.

Check the Breaker Box

Another common problem is that an overloaded outlet has tripped the breaker. This is a failsafe that keeps your home safe from electrical fires. You don’t need an electrician to fix this problem. Try resetting any tripped breakers.

Reset the GFCI

You may also need to reset the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). GFCIs function like mini-breakers. They trip when there are too many things plugged into an area of wiring or one of the outlets becomes wet. You won’t need to reset your entire residential electric system. Instead, unplug everything from nearby outlets and press the red reset button on the outlet itself.
