Electrical Troubleshooting
Electrical troubleshooting essentially means to find the place that is creating the problem and then fix it. The reason it is not easy as it sounds is that most often a large amount of the wiring runs in the ceiling or between the insulation in the walls. Therefore, locating the exact problem is no easy task.
Your electrical system can troubleshoot and give you signals such as an electrical outlet not working, a circuit breaker that always kicks in and shuts the power or even blinking lights. These electrical problems can come about due to a short circuit in the breaker or in the wiring or rather because the receptacles are dead due to a tripping GFCI that won’t reset.
Electrical issues are not to be explored by those without the professional knowledge to safely troubleshoot -
electricians are there for a reason, don't hesitate to use them! Yes, of course home electrical problems may just require you to reset the circuit breaker or just check a few connections. If not, please be careful how you potter around with electrical wiring as this can harm you and your property.
