A well-maintained electrical system prevents small problems from turning into big problems. Internal power failures are caused by loose wiring connections. These occur over time from the stress of current flow as well as from the expansion and contraction of electrical wires due to seasonal temperature variations.
Aside from causing circuit failure, loose ground wires and electrical connections also present considerable safety issues. Loose connections can not only cause loss of power, but can also present fire hazards and the danger of electric shock.
You can avoid circuit failure and safety hazards through routine, preventive maintenance of your electrical service panel, as well as troubleshooting and repair of lighting fixtures, on/off switches and wall outlets that are not working properly.
