How Outlet and Switch Repairs Keep Your Home Safe During Holiday Gatherings

December 17, 2024 | Blog

As the holiday season arrives in Lake Charles, families prepare their homes for festive gatherings, sparkling lights, and hearty meals. While the excitement builds, it’s essential to make sure your home’s electrical system is up to the task. Faulty outlets and switches can pose risks such as electrical shocks, fires, or overloaded circuits, which can disrupt the celebrations. With expert outlet and switch repairs from Ace Air Conditioning & Plumbing, you can keep your holiday festivities safe and worry-free.

Why Electrical Safety Matters During the Holidays

The holiday season places extra strain on your home’s electrical system. Decorative lights, new gadgets, and busy kitchens demand more power than usual, increasing the risk of electrical issues. Faulty components like outdated outlets, loose switches, or overloaded circuits can cause:

  • Flickering lights when plugging in holiday decorations.
  • Sparks or burning smells from worn-out outlets.
  • Tripping circuit breakers as electrical demand peaks.

Addressing these problems early ensures your home stays safe, efficient, and ready for the season’s gatherings.

Signs Your Outlets and Switches Need Repairs

  1. Loose or Discolored Outlets: Overheating can cause discoloration or warm outlets, indicating a fire risk.
  2. Flickering Lights: Poor connections or overloaded circuits may cause your lights to dim or flicker.
  3. Burning Smells or Sparks: If you notice these signs, it’s critical to act immediately.
  4. Frequent Circuit Breaker Trips: This points to overloaded circuits or faulty wiring.

If you’ve noticed any of these signs, don’t wait—call Ace Air Conditioning & Plumbing for expert outlet and switch repairs in Lake Charles.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Friendly and Honest

Technician came out to my house within an hour of calling and he was very friendly and honest. I was expecting to have to replace the whole unit or have a salesman try to have me “upgrade” to a newer unit but Mr Jeff was quick to diagnose and correct the problem at a reasonable cost.

Megan M.

Excellent Service!

We called Ace on a Sunday. Several hours later a serviceman arrived, inspected the air conditioner, and got it working. The serviceman was quite knowledgeable. Excellent service!

Diane B.

Highly Recommended

Jace went out of his way to get my air conditioner repaired so that my home would be comfortable for the weekend. He was extremely polite and professional. I highly recommend ACE as a company and Jace as a technician. I could not have been more pleased with the service I received.
