Warning Signs in Homes

Common Electrical Problems Found in Pasadena's Older Homes

It is always best to recognize warning signs and know when to call a professional. Here are some 

Flickering or Dimming Lights

Often caused by undersized wiring, aging circuits, or loose connections in older homes.

Solution: We diagnose the cause through voltage testing, evaluate the circuits, and replace or upgrade wiring to restore safe and reliable power.

Frequent Breaker Trips

Older wiring systems often cannot handle modern electrical loads, leading to repeated breaker trips.

Solution: We evaluate the electrical load, identify overloaded circuits, and upgrade wiring or panels as necessary to prevent interruptions and hazards.

Warm or Discolored Outlets

Discolored or warm outlets indicate deteriorating connections or unsafe wiring that can pose fire hazards

Solution: We inspect outlets and wiring, repair or replace unsafe connections, and ensure all outlets meet current safety standards.

Active Knob-and-Tube Wiring

Brittle insulation, exposed conductors, and outdated design create fire and shock risks in historic homes.

Solution: We assess the condition of existing knob-and-tube wiring, replace it with modern copper wiring, and ensure all circuits meet current electrical codes.

Two-Prong Ungrounded Outlets

Many historic homes have two-prong outlets without grounding, which creates shock hazards.

Solution: We upgrade outlets to grounded three-prong models, replace wiring as needed, and bring your home’s electrical system up to modern safety codes.

Burning Smells or Sparking

Burning odors or sparks from outlets, switches, or panels indicate immediate danger.

Solution: We shut off power, inspect the affected areas, and perform safe rewiring or component replacement to eliminate fire risks.

Contact Us Immediately If You Notice:

Burning smells from outlets or panel

Sparking or arcing from electrical components

Outlets or switches hot to the touch

Discolored or melted outlet covers

Buzzing sounds from electrical panel

Frequent electrical shocks from appliances

I haven’t personally hired PowerRoute Electric for their services, but I’ve worked alongside them on several jobs over the past year and a half before it was out to the public. From what I’ve seen firsthand, they take their work seriously. They show up on time, communicate clearly, and put effort into getting the job done right. Their team is respectful and seems to care about doing things the right way, not just the fast way. They’re not perfect—no company is—but they’ve consistently shown up and done what they said they would, which goes a long way in this line of work. If you’re considering hiring them, based on what I’ve experienced working with them on-site, they’re reliable and professional. I’d trust them on a job of my own.

Power Route was fast, efficient, organized and knowledgeable when working on solving my electrical issues. They went above and beyond by giving us a breakdown of what the cheaper option vs the best solution would look like in terms of cost and long term solution. Power Route was very transparent and delivered high quality work . Fixed our flickering lights, our overload issues, provided a water heater solution and installed 2 car chargers. Everything is working great and we have not had an issue. Would definitely recommend.

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about residential electrical services in Pasadena

Do I need a licensed electrician to replace or install outlets?

While outlet replacement may seem simple, improper wiring can lead to shock or fire hazards. A licensed electrician ensures correct grounding, secure connections, and compliance with current electrical code. This is especially important in older Pasadena homes with aging wiring.

How much does outlet installation or repair usually cost?

Costs depend on the number of outlets, outlet type, and condition of the wiring behind the walls. Basic replacements may cost a few hundred dollars, while adding new outlets or upgrading wiring can cost more. We provide clear estimates before any work begins.

Should I upgrade outlets in older homes?

Yes. Older outlets often lack grounding or safety features required today. Upgrading improves electrical safety, supports modern appliances, and reduces the risk of overheating or shock.

Will installing new outlets require opening the walls?

In many cases, outlet replacement does not require wall opening. For new outlet installations, minor access may be needed depending on wiring paths. We always use minimally invasive methods and explain the process beforehand.

Can you install GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms?

Yes. We install GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, garages, and outdoor areas where required by code. These outlets protect against electrical shock by shutting off power when a fault is detected.
