Flickering lights
If a flickering light needs more than screwing in a lightbulb tighter, it’s time to call a professional electrician. It can be an indication of an overloaded circuit or loose electrical wiring. It is important to resolve the issue with a proper diagnosis.

When an outlet or switch is warm (or even shocks you) to the touch, it is an indication there is an overloaded circuit or potentially something more dangerous.
Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Detectors
It is critical for any type of smoke or carbon monoxide detector is installed properly. They are essential for the safety of any building.
