Appliance Repair

When you seek someone to fix your appliance, make sure that they are highly trained and extremely qualified to do the job well. These professionals should be cross trained on a range of possible fixes for appliances, meaning they are knowledgeable in various areas of appliance repair such as plumbing, electric work, and refrigeration, among others.

Electric Stove Repairs

Electric stoves are one of the most valuable appliances in your kitchen. But like any other appliances in your home, electric stoves can pose problems, which need repair and maintenance from time to time. Below are some signs your electric stove needs to be repaired immediately:

Nonstop or abrupt clicking: Your stove might make a tiny clicking sound when you turn it on or off. Some electric stoves click when they’re heating up or cooling down, which is a normal response to internal controls or the heating or cooling of the metal plate. But consistent clicking can be a sign that your stove is trying to do something and is failing or it might imply electrical malfunction. Any time you hear a persistent clicking sound, it is important to call a professional to fix the problem. 

Stove won’t turn off: A very serious problem that you need to address is if your electric stove won’t stop heating after you turn it on, or if it does not turn off. This poses a serious risk to your family’s safety so make sure to call for electric stove repair immediately.

Stove is not going up to cooking temperature: Be mindful if your stove’s temperature is not rising to the level you need it to be at. Just like when your AC does not get cold, it’s also a serious problem if your electric stove can’t even get water to full boil even on its highest setting. If this happens, you may need a replacement stove outlet, control circuit repair, or a replacement stove altogether. Contact an electrician right away so they can properly assess what needs to be done. 

Blown Fuse Repair

A blown fuse can mean a lot of things, but oftentimes has little to do with the actual fuses. Here are some of the possible causes of a blown fuse:

Short circuit: This is a form of electrical fault. Generally speaking, faults arise when an electrical current strays beyond its expected path (circuit) due to the absence of resistance. If you see any damage, call for blown fuse repair immediately.

Circuit or Breaker problem: The  job of the circuit breakers is to cut the flow of electricity if one of the switches on your panel flipped. If your breaker tripped, you can easily resolve this by resetting the breaker but make sure to check for any damages first. If the breaker trips again, call an electrician right away. 

Overloaded circuit: You can quickly identify the problem by simply searching for an outlet or a specific appliance that you used heavily. Move the appliances from the overloaded circuit to another circuit then simply flip the circuit breaker back or call an electrician to replace your fuse if the problem persists.

Wiring Damage Repair

Faulty electrical wiring can surely cause major issues for your household. If not addressed properly, it can lead to severe damage and expense. And in worst case scenarios, can lead to a home fire. It is crucial that you ensure proper repair and maintenance on your wiring system by calling an electrician to do the job accurately.

Emergency Electrical Repair

A simple power outage can be considered an emergency electrical repair. While more severe cases include outlets emitting a burning odour or wires that cause a fire. Electrical issues don’t need to be big for you to ask the help of a licensed electrician. It’s best to call them right away whenever you notice something wrong with your wiring or appliances. After all, prevention is better than cure.

Lighting Repair

Light fixtures should never vibrate, buzz, or shock you. While you may be keen to do the repair yourself, it’s important to keep in mind to be very careful when working with lighting products. Problems such as exposed wires or warm receptacles are best handled by professionals to avoid accidents and further damage.

Hot Water System Repair

If you’re experiencing unusually loud noises from your hot water tank (power vent mentor might not be spinning), not enough hot water or water is too hot (thermostat may not be working), or no hot water at all (could be a failed heating element), call for repair immediately before it gets worse. Nothing like taking a cold shower in the dead of winter.

Find yourself a reliable electrician in your area that you can call anytime to help you with the repair and maintenance you need.
