Electrician in Sunny Beach: common problems and how to call one

Apartments in Sunny Beach are often rented out, and the wiring works hard: kettle, AC, water heater and hairdryer all at once. Hence the typical problems. Here's what to do.

Common electrical problems

• The breaker trips — circuit overload (too many appliances at once) or a short circuit.
• A socket doesn't work — oxidised contacts, overheating, old wiring.
• Lights flicker or dim — a poor contact, an overloaded line.
• Appliances give you a shock — no earthing; this is dangerous.
• You need more sockets — for appliances in a rental.

What you can check yourself (safely)

1. The fuse box. If a breaker tripped, switch off some appliances and try turning it back on. If it won't stay on, you need an electrician.
2. One socket or all of them? This helps the electrician gauge the scope before arriving.
3. Don't touch live wiring. Anything beyond the fuse box and the plug is a specialist's job.

Why you shouldn't delay

A sparking socket, a smell of burnt plastic or hot wiring is a fire risk, especially in the coast's older buildings. That's a reason to call an electrician the same day.

Cost and how to find one

The price depends on the task: replacing a socket, finding the cause of a short, replacing a section of wiring or assembling a fuse box. The electrician quotes after you describe it.
