Electrical surges

Poor wiring is usually the cause of this issue. It could also happen when lightning strikes. Another probable cause could be damaged power lines or faulty appliances.

You should check the devices connected to the power lines or wiring. Disconnect the power boards or device from the outlet (poor or cheap power boards is a common cause of this issue) If this doesnt fix the issue, you should probably call an electrician like Mr. Electric of Fort Worth.

Exorbitant electricity bills

This could be troubling. You know you don't consume so much, but the bills don't agree.

You should check for faulty circuits, leaking hot water systems, switching from appliances that cause power surges. You should also remember to unplug appliances from outlets when not in use.

If the bills still don't reflect your usage after these checks, you might want to change your provider.

Electric shocks
