When you have an electrical problem at your Salt Lake City home or business and you don’t know what’s causing it, call the certified electricians at Jett Electric. We will do a circuit diagnosis to determine what the issue is, then tell you how we can fix it. We offer power diagnostics to residential and commercial customers throughout the Salt Lake City area.

Do you trip a circuit breaker when you use your curling iron? Have some of the lights in your chandelier gone dark, but putting new bulbs in doesn’t fix the problem? Do you have dead outlets? Do your lights dim when you vacuum? Do you flip a switch, only to notice nothing happens? Do you get a shock when you touch the dryer? Is your outlet hot to the touch? Does your dimmer switch buzz when you use it?

These are all worrisome signs of an electrical problem in the home. Electrical problems in the workplace may include electrical shocks to workers, equipment that doesn’t charge fully, brownouts or blackouts, and overheated equipment.

When you trip a circuit, you can get it working again by flipping the switch inside the service panel, but this should not need to be done repeatedly. The root cause of the problem should be corrected.

One way our certified electricians attempt to diagnose a problem is by using a multimeter. Multimeters measure voltage, current and resistance and can give electricians lots of useful information. We can see if there is no power to a socket so we can find out why. We can see if a circuit is overloaded and then correct the problem.

Our licensed electricians use many other tools and tests as part of our circuit diagnosis to determine what might be wrong with your electrical wiring.

Whether we are diagnosing problems with residential or commercial electrical wiring, it is critically important to determine the cause of the malfunction. The biggest risk with electrical wiring problems is fire. That’s why it’s so important to tell your electrician if you notice any fixtures, outlets or areas on the wall that are warm to the touch. The same with getting shocks — and we don’t mean static shocks. If you get a mild shock when you turn on a light switch or lamp, there could be a circuitry issue.

As unpleasant as it is to get a shock when turning on a light, worse is the insidious problem of overloaded circuits inside walls. These can heat up — unknown to you — and eventually start a fire in the wall.

This is an even bigger threat in the workplace, where industrial electrical circuits are much more powerful than the circuits found in residential homes.
