Preventing Electrical Fires with Professional Lighting Repair and Safety Upgrades

Every year, thousands of homes face the risk of electrical fires due to outdated lighting fixtures, aging wiring, and neglected electrical components. At North Georgia Electrical Services, we see firsthand how small electrical issues can quickly become serious hazards if they are not addressed by a licensed electrician.

On this project, a customer contacted us after a floodlight on their home malfunctioned. What seemed like a simple lighting problem revealed a deeper safety concern. The fixture showed signs of heat damage and wear, highlighting just how dangerous failing exterior lighting and wiring can be when left unchecked.

Our team specializes in quickly identifying and mitigating these risks. During this service call, our licensed electricians:

  • Performed a complete electrical safety inspection of the affected circuit

  • Troubleshot the failing floodlight and associated wiring

Upgrading Fixtures, Panels, and Protection Devices

Our expertise in lighting installation and electrical repairs goes beyond improving curb appeal. It’s about creating safe, secure environments for homeowners and their families. In many cases, we recommend:
