Avoid the Shock: Top Electrical Issues Roanoke Homeowners Face (and How to Fix Them Fast)

Is Your Roanoke Home Trying to Tell You Something?

It starts with flickering lights or a breaker that keeps tripping. Maybe a buzzing outlet. Or a light switch that gets warm. In Roanoke’s older homes and newer builds alike, electrical issues aren’t just annoying—they’re dangerous.

At Stetson and Sons Electrical, we help homeowners catch and correct electrical problems before they become hazards. Here’s what you should watch for.

⚠️ 5 Common Electrical Issues in Roanoke Homes

Flickering or Dimming Lights
Often caused by overloaded circuits or loose wiring—especially in older homes.
Tripped Breakers or Blown Fuses
If it’s happening often, your system could be outdated or undersized for your appliances.
Dead Outlets or Light Switches
This usually points to worn-out wiring or internal faults.
Warm or Buzzing Switches/Outlets
A major red flag—this could mean a wiring short or poor connection.
Outdated Panels or Lack of GFCIs
