Do your lights flicker when you turn on your hair dryer? Have you blown a fuse any time in the past year? If so, that means it's time to call an electrician. And here are three more reasons to phone an electrician from Berk Trade & Business School, New York's most reliable trade school for students looking to enter the plumbing, electrical and automotive fields.

  • If blown fuses and tripped circuit breakers occur frequently in your home, in all likelihood your circuits are drawing more current than they can be counted on to safely provide. A problem like this can also signify a potentially dangerous fault on one or more of your circuits.
  • Take a long, hard look at your outlets: are they being strangled by plugs and wires crisscrossing every which way to find a home? If so, your electrical system might be operating beyond its intended capacity, which can cause all kinds of problems. Additional circuits with duplex receptacles can help solve this issue, as any electrician worth his salt will be able to tell you.
  • Do your lights and appliances play a little game with you? A device goes on and the lights suddenly dim, or something of this sort? In cases such as this, you should keep in mind that motor-driven appliances draw a large amount of current, and should thus be wired with dedicated circuits.

These are just a few of the reasons that people reach out into the darkness for the phone so they can call the electrician ASAP. The Berk Trade & Business School in Long Island City has been educating electricians to-be for decades, so they certainly know a thing or two about effective electrical home management.
