When you know your house was hit directly by lightning, call the fire department immediately. It is commonplace for lightning to start fires in your house’s attic and inside your walls.
A cloud-to-ground lightning high bolt will find the path of least resistance once it hits your house to the ground. As the power lightning goes through your house, it will destroy everything in its path and even cause it to start a fire. This can include electric wires, phone cable, cable TV/internet lines, water and gas pipes, metal hardware like gutters, downspouts, and metal window frames.

If you want to know more about the state of your electrical wiring, here is a tip that will help you decide if you need to take quick action.
Keep in mind, if it looks messed up, there is a huge chance your wiring has not been dealt with professionally since the previous electrician installed it the first time. If your electrician installed the wiring properly, the wires would never go loose on their own. They also remain properly aligned in their designated spaces. High voltage wires are always sealed in insulators to avoid unexpected electrocution or any other accident. Our professional electricians follow a pattern in wiring that reflects good installation practices. Mostly high voltage wires are present behind walls. These walls serve as insulators. It enables the area to look tidy and the people living in the surroundings safe.
Proper electrical installations include clear wire labeling along with tags. This may include connection jacks and other fixtures. A professionally handled wiring will include different colors because it helps to determine the function of each wire. When wires are color-coded, it helps the electrician make a quick decision during any maintenance job. Maintenance is a prerequisite for efficiency.
Homeowners must never hesitate from conducting a yearly audit to check for
simple faults. It is crucial for quality control. The two most common red flags that show you need to call professional electricians are:
Yes, an overloaded circuit will continuously trigger the circuit breaker, cutting off power to that particular part of your home. They also carry the risk of starting a fire.
A responsible homeowner will act swiftly. Rewiring ensures your safety as well as the safety of your property. The need to rewire may arise due to faulty and out of date wiring. If you spot any irregular wiring spots seek professional help as soon as possible.
Following is a list of alarming situations. If you are witnessing any of these in your house, seek professional help as soon as possible:
A properly functioning circuit breaker cuts off the flow when it exceeds a specific number of amps. However, if this occurs frequently, then it’s time to check. Frequent tripping is a signal of poor wiring and overloaded circuits.
When a light brightens it means it is receiving a good amount of voltage whereas if it dims it is a sign of low voltage. There could be a fault with the light itself, however, this type of spike or decline in power can also be a result of loose or faulty wiring.
You may witness the burning of light bulbs in their sockets. This is mainly caused by fluctuations in voltage. Lights are the most visual sign that a household needs rewiring.
The growing amount of electrical appliances and technological gadgets do not get well with old-style fuses. They can’t take the weight of electricity blowing. If your fuse blows regularly, it’s time to upgrade them to a modern and higher capacity circuit breaker
Electrical Shocks are jolts and life-threatening. If there are children in the house, you must not leave cords or wires in this state. You must contact a trained and professional electrician right away.
Sparking outlet can be an indication of an underlying problem. If they are short-circuiting and excessive heat is building up within the outlet, it can result in melting of insulations. They can also cause electrical fires if you leave them exposed.
If your property is a couple of decades old, it is at risk of outdated cabling and poor wiring. It is time you switch to present electrical safety standards.
Many people are unaware of porcelain fuses. You will need a professional home safety inspection to be sure. These pre-date modern circuit breakers are an obvious sign that your wiring needs an upgrade.
If you are continuously relying upon extension cords it is a typical sign that your house needs re-wiring. It’s time you place additional sockets in your most used living areas.
Discolored or charred electrical outlets and switches need rewiring if there is continuous sparking in the outlets. Loose connections often result in sparking and may cause a small fire. Often this fire will leave discoloration on the surface. It is highly important to rewire such switches as soon as possible.
In most cases, if an electrical short circuit occurs near your switches, it will cause a faint smell of burning. If you notice any smell and are unable to figure out where it is coming from, it could occur behind your walls or underneath the floors.
Power fluctuations are mostly caused by loose wirings. Other causes include overloaded sockets or small conductors that are carrying power to your residence.

There has always been a trend to install bright and high voltage globe lights in the front and back yards of a residential building.
It was a common perception that these huge lights will prevent criminals from sneaking up on homeowners during the night. However, experts have a contrary view on this matter. Research shows that simply over lighting a backyard or any side of your home does little to discourage a criminal. Bright light may even help the burglars find easy access to these places. The solution to this problem is strategically placing and aiming the floodlights or spotlights where they will startle. In this way, they will at least temporarily blind any intruder and in the meantime alert you. Expert electricians at Tactical Electrical Services have been designing and installing security lighting setups in New Jersey for the past three years. Our teams will design the perfect strategy to install a crime prevention lighting scheme that will keep you and your property always safe.
The prime objective of a security light source is to suddenly fill any dark spot with light. This will result in forcing the criminal to retreat and leave your home alone. Our professional teams study the area around your home and identify the most criminal prone areas. The next step is to strategically place the lights. They especially consider entry and exit points.
Dark areas are the favorite spots for intruders to hide. Typically, these hiding spots are shrubs and huge bushes. However, strategically positioned motion-sensing spotlights and floodlights can make these spots useless for criminals.
We suggest always install two head floodlights with sensors and motion detectors and a photocell. The photo cells save energy by guaranteeing that light only comes out when it's dark, and the motion detector only trips when it senses movement in the vicinity.
Sometimes Motion sensors can be tricky because they can’t always differentiate between a criminal movement and a neighbors’ pet. They may even confuse wind blowing through a shrub with an actual intruder. Fortunately, the latest technology has overcome this limitation. The latest models of motion-sensing flood lights and spotlights come with sensitivity settings that can get closer to making the light turn on only when a human passes by the sensor.
Modern devices also come with a manual switch. This helps the owner switch off the motion sensor if the light keeps coming on for no reason. However, a homeowner must remain vigilant as a criminal can use this to their advantage.
Motion-sensing security lighting can also be a convenience for homeowners and their pets aside from just preventing intruders. These lights can also help when a pet has to make a night-time excursion or if some member of your family returns home late at night.
