Welcome to the first official blog post from Wired Up Electric!

We’re excited to start sharing simple, safe, and useful electrical tips to help Utah homeowners keep their homes running smoothly. Whether you’re dealing with a tripping breaker, planning an upgrade, or just want your home to feel safer, these quick tips can help.

1. Test Your GFCI Outlets Every Month

GFCI outlets (the ones with the buttons) protect you from electrical shock in areas like kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoors.

Press TEST, make sure power shuts off, then press RESET.

If it doesn’t reset, it’s time to give us a call.

2. Don’t Ignore Flickering Lights

A flickering light isn’t just annoying — it can be a sign of:

A failing bulb
A loose connection
An overloaded circuit
An issue in the fixture or switch

If a bulb change doesn’t fix it, it’s worth having it checked.

3. Space Heaters Need Their Own Circuit

As Utah gets colder, space heaters come out—and they’re a top cause of tripped breakers.

Avoid plugging heaters into extension cords or using them on outlets that share power with other high-demand appliances.

If you constantly trip a breaker, you may need a dedicated circuit.

4. Know Where Your Main Breaker Is

In an emergency (like a short or burning smell), shutting off your home’s main breaker can prevent fire or damage.

Take 30 seconds to find it — usually at the top or bottom of your electrical panel.

5. Replace Outlets That Feel Warm or Buzz

Outlets or switches should never feel warm, buzz, or smell like something’s burning.

Those are early signs of:

Loose wiring
Overloaded circuits
Failing devices
And they should be fixed right away.
