Yes, in most cases. If you call before noon, we can usually schedule a same-day visit. For emergencies — burning smell, sparking outlet, power out in part of the house — we prioritize getting there fast, including evenings and weekends.
It can be. A breaker trips for a reason — it is protecting your wiring from overload. If it trips once and stays reset, it may have been a fluke. If it keeps tripping, there is likely an overloaded circuit, a bad breaker, or a wiring problem. Do not just keep resetting it. Call us so we can find out why it is tripping.
Homes built in the 1960s and early 1970s in areas like South Arlington and Dalworthington Gardens often have aluminum wiring. Your panel cover or outlet boxes may show "AL" markings. The safest way to know for sure is to have a licensed electrician check. Aluminum wiring is a known fire risk and can usually be remediated without full rewiring.
GFCI stands for Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter. These are the outlets with the "Test" and "Reset" buttons — common in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoors. They trip when they detect a ground fault. If yours keeps tripping with nothing plugged in, or will not reset at all, there may be a wiring issue. We can check it quickly.
Minor repairs like replacing outlets, switches, or fixtures usually do not require a permit. Larger jobs — panel upgrades, new circuits, rewiring — do require permits from the City of Arlington. Bolt Electric handles all permit work when needed. We never do permit-required work without the proper paperwork.
No. Stop using it right away. A burning smell near an outlet usually means the wiring behind it is overheating or damaged. This is one of the top causes of house fires. Unplug everything from that outlet and call an electrician the same day. Do not wait on this one.
You do not need to wait to find out if something is wrong. A fast call to Bolt Electric connects you with a licensed Arlington electrician who can walk you through what you are seeing — and get there the same day in most cases.
