Reliable Home Power: Professional Service in Deerfield Beach

Electrical issues in Deerfield Beach are often exacerbated by Broward County's high humidity and salt-air environment. Ignoring these warning signs can lead to property damage or safety hazards.

Burning Plastic Smell

Wire insulation is degrading from overheating. This often precedes electrical fires. Find the source immediately.

Fish or Urine Smell

Overheating plastic components produce this distinctive odor. Despite the strange description, electrical problems often smell this way.

Smell at Outlet or Switch

Localized burning smell indicates overheating at that specific device—loose connections or overloaded circuit.

Smell from Electrical Panel

Burning smell at the panel is an emergency. Overheating in the panel can escalate to fire rapidly. Don't delay investigation.

Intermittent Smell

Smells that come and go may indicate problems only under load. We investigate under various conditions to find the source.

Smell with Flickering Lights

Combination of burning smell and flickering suggests loose connections causing both arcing heat and intermittent contact.

How Our Deerfield Beach Electrical Burning Smell Investigation Process Works

1

Immediate Assessment

We determine the urgency level. Active burning or visible smoke requires immediate power shutoff. We assess safety before proceeding.

2

Source Location

Using physical inspection and thermal imaging, we locate the source of overheating—panel, outlet, junction box, or appliance.

3

Root Cause Analysis

We determine WHY overheating is occurring: loose connections, overloaded circuits, failed components, or damaged wiring.

4

Damage Assessment

We evaluate whether the overheating has damaged wiring, components, or surrounding materials requiring additional repair.

5

Repair and Verification

We repair the underlying problem, replace damaged components, and verify the issue is resolved before restoring power.

Electrical Burning Smell Investigation Benefits for Deerfield Beach Homeowners

Find Hidden Problems

Burning smell may indicate larger issues—failing panel, degraded wiring, overloaded circuits. Investigation reveals the complete picture.

Peace of Mind

Stop wondering if your home is safe. Professional investigation confirms whether there's danger and resolves it.

Documentation

We document what we find for your records and insurance purposes. Professional assessment creates important documentation.

Common Electrical Burning Smell Investigation Questions from Deerfield Beach Homeowners

Yes—treat it as an emergency. Burning smell means overheating is occurring, which can progress to fire. Turn off power if you can identify the source (breaker for that area), and call for investigation. Don't wait until morning or Monday.
Often like burning plastic—acrid and chemical. Sometimes described as 'fishy' or like urine (burning electrical components produce this odd smell). Any unusual burning odor near electrical equipment warrants investigation.
If you can identify where the smell is coming from, turn off the breaker for that circuit. If the smell is from the panel or you can't locate the source, turn off the main breaker. Don't restore power until the problem is found and fixed.
Common causes: loose connections (most common), overloaded circuits, failing components, damaged wiring, improper installations. All create resistance that converts electricity to heat—potentially enough to ignite fires.
Intermittent smell may only occur under load. We investigate under various conditions—lights on, HVAC running, high-use times—to find problems that only appear during specific circumstances.
Possibly. HVAC systems, appliances, and other sources can produce burning smells. We help determine whether the source is electrical or point you to appropriate help if it's not.
