Common Electrical Problems and How We Fix Them
Homes in Pittsburgh deal with a lot of electrical problems. Some are small annoyances. Others are serious risks that need immediate attention. Here are some of the most common issues we fix.
- Frequent Power Outages: If your home loses power often but your neighbors don’t, your electrical system may be struggling to handle the load. We check for overloaded circuits, faulty wiring or failing circuit breakers to find the root of the problem.
- Flickering or Dimming Lights: Lights that dim when appliances turn on could mean your system is overloaded. Loose wiring or bad light fixtures can also cause flickering. Our local electricians will diagnose and fix the issue.
- Dead Outlets: If an outlet suddenly stops working, it may be due to a tripped circuit breaker, a faulty switch or burned-out wiring. We’ll get it working safely again.
- Burning Smells or Sparks: If you smell burning plastic or see sparks when plugging something in, your home may have a serious wiring issue. This is a fire hazard that needs immediate professional attention.
- Old or Outdated Wiring: Homes with outdated wiring are at risk for electrical fires. If your house still has knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, it’s time to upgrade. We offer rewiring services to keep your home safe.

Heat Detection for Unseen Electrical Problems
Our Pittsburgh electricians use thermal imaging to detect hidden heat patterns, helping to prevent and troubleshoot electrical system issues. It is the fastest way to identify a problem before or after it occurs in your home’s electrical connections.
Combining thermal and visual imagery with key details, thermal imaging locates problematic areas in electrical systems, including:
- Faulty wiring
- Loose or corroded connections
- Bad components
- Improper flow of electricity
- Unbalanced loads
- Overloaded systems
Thermal imaging is commonly used on wiring, fuses, insulators, switch gears and circuit breaker panels. Using this technology, your electrician can determine potentially dangerous issues that could lead to more serious problems and costly repairs or identify a problem that has already occurred within a system, helping to keep your home safe.
Fixing and Replacing Outlets for Your Safety
Electrical outlets in older homes are usually outdated or unsafe. Our Pittsburgh electricians can work on your electrical outlets to restore their safety and functionality. Outlets that are dead, faulty or loose might be dangerous from exposed wires or connection points. Cracked or broken outlets and wall plates can and should also be repaired. Loose outlets in which plugs fall out could indicate a problem involving a lack of tension or wiring. A Gillece Services electrician can repair your outlets, no matter what the problem is.
We can also upgrade your out-of-date or faulty two-prong outlets to three-prong outlets. Your home’s electricity, from all of its sources and connection points, should be secure and functional to help prevent electrical damage and fire.

Frequently Asked Questions
What electrical services do you offer in Pittsburgh?
We offer a full range of electrical services in Pittsburgh, PA, and the surrounding areas. Our services include repairs, installations, panel upgrades, rewiring, smoke detector installations, surge protector setups and more.
How do I know if I need an electrician?
If your circuit breaker keeps tripping, outlets stop working, lights flicker or you hear buzzing sounds from your walls, you need a professional. Electrical issues don’t fix themselves, and ignoring them can be dangerous.
How often should my home’s electrical system be inspected?
It’s a good idea to have an inspection every few years, especially if your home is older. An inspection catches issues before they turn into big problems. If you notice anything unusual, schedule one sooner.
What should I do if I smell burning near an outlet?
Turn off power to the area at the circuit breaker and call a Pittsburgh electrician immediately. Burning smells could mean faulty wiring or an overloaded circuit, both of which can lead to a fire.
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
A tripped breaker usually means an overloaded circuit, a faulty appliance or a wiring issue. A local electrician can pinpoint the cause and fix the problem.
