Commercial electrical problems can be time-consuming for you and your business. Unfortunately, there are common issues that are hard to avoid but worth being aware of so that you can spot them and immediately address them. RM Electrical of Belleville, IL, has a guide to the most common commercial electrical problems to keep an eye out for.

3 Common Commercial Electrical Problems

Sudden Power Loss

When you suddenly have power loss in your building, it can be disconcerting. It also can be disruptive to your business if the outage happens during business hours. It can sometimes affect an entire building but often is limited to one area. This usually happens because of a tripped safety trigger. A professional can determine where this is occurring and why—and keep it from happening again.

Flickering Lights

Flickering lights can be a nuisance. It’s one thing if it is limited to one fixture; this indicates a problem with a bulb. But if lights are flickering throughout an entire area, it likely means there’s a poor connection somewhere in the wiring. It’s important to solve this problem as soon as possible, or it can get worse and become a bigger, more expensive issue. 

Old Wiring

If your building is particularly old, you might deal with outdated wiring. Not only can it cause a variety of problems with your lights and appliances, but it can also be a danger to you and your building. Old wiring has a higher likelihood of causing electrical fires, which puts people at risk and can cause expensive damage. It is important to have someone perform commercial electrical work and replace your old wiring. It may take some time and money, but it will be worth avoiding a possible fire.

These three issues are just some of the problems that can occur with commercial electrical systems. It is always best to address them head-on before they become bigger and more complicated. With the right team, you can handle these common issues with ease.
