Signs of a Faulty Electrical Outlet

There are many indicators that warn of a faulty electrical outlet, but here are just a handful of the most common signs of trouble:

Hot to the Touch: Electrical outlets should NOT be hot. If an outlet feels warm or hot to the touch, it is a clear indication of an underlying problem that requires immediate attention.
Burn Marks: Burn marks or discoloration around an outlet are red flags of potential electrical issues. These signs may suggest overheating, which can lead to electrical fires if not addressed promptly.
Sparks & Unusual Sounds: These noises and visual cues suggest arcing or a short circuit within the outlet.
Flickering Lights: If lights flicker or appliances intermittently lose power when connected to an outlet, it could indicate a loose or damaged electrical connection.
Frequently Tripped Circuit Breakers: If a specific outlet frequently causes the circuit breaker to trip, then it may be overloaded or have an internal fault. This repeated tripping indicates an underlying issue that requires investigation.

The electrical outlet installation is harmless for the most part, but a dysfunctional or faulty electrical outlet can pose serious risks such as electric shocks and even electrical fires. Call Mr. Electric if you notice any of the red flags mentioned above.

When to Replace Electrical Outlets

An electrical outlet replacement is not something the average property owner thinks about often. For the most part, electrical outlets are incredibly simple and reliable anyway. However, it might be time to consider a replacement if:

Your property has older outlets, especially those without grounding,
You are undertaking remodeling or renovation projects in your property,
Areas prone to moisture are lacking GFCI outlets,
You are considering smart home technology.

If you have any questions or concerns, you are welcomed to call Mr. Electric to consult with a member of our team. We are happy to schedule an appointment for a quick and affordable electrical outlet installation in Canyon Lake today.

Special Types of Electrical Outlets

Electrical outlets come in a number of types, but there are a few unique sorts: GFCI outlets, AFCI outlets, and smart electrical outlets.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets are designed to quickly cut power if they detect imbalances in the electrical current, preventing the risk of electric shock. They are crucial in areas where water is present, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor spaces.
Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) outlets are designed to detect and mitigate the risk of electrical arcs, which can lead to fires. These outlets are particularly beneficial in bedrooms and other living spaces.

Finally, smart electrical outlets are equipped with technology that allows remote control of connected devices through smartphones or smart home systems. They offer convenience, energy monitoring capabilities, and the ability to create automated schedules for devices.

The certified electricians at Mr. Electric are qualified to install any type of electrical outlet, in both residential and commercial properties. Call Mr. Electric to schedule an appointment today.

Our Customers Love our Services

John was on time, explained the issue I was having, offered me a couple of options, and then repaired the switch that was giving me problems, following my preferences of the choices he had given me. He was pleasant, professional, and did a great job. Would not hesitate to use Mr. Electric again!

Sue Trautner

Austin, electrician and his teammate we’re great! Both were punctual, courteous, and very informative in explaining the situation and their recommendations to replace a bad breaker in our panel. There was NO frivolous attempt up-sale to items we didn’t need and they were straight to the point honest in their recommendation. In the end, I would described the customer service Austin and his teammate provided me as, AWESOME! Being a new home owner, I am glad I have found this company and will be using them any future electrical needs!

Mark Flores

Outstanding communication and very professional service. I would highly recommend Mr. Electric. Received both e-mails and texts on appointment to include a photo and short bio of the actual electrician (Brad Mason) who would be doing the work. Wish all home service providers did the same. Brad was on time (actually a few minutes early). He installed 30AMP breaker and associated RV plug in our garage. To avoid any sheetrock repairs it was necessary for him to drop the line to the house electric panel through a wall with foam insulation, with very limited head/body clearance for him to work. No mess left behind from the actual plug installation on another wall.

Rick from Mr. Electric arrived when expected and quickly diagnosed the problem. He recommended a solution and gave us a proposal for solving the problem. We asked when he could do the work and how long would it take. He said he could do the job that day and it would take 4 or 5 hours. The price was reasonable, and we told him to get started. He did a very good job, neat and within the estimated time. The invoice amount for the job was was the same as the proposal amount. We are planning on having Mr. Electric and hopefully Rick do more work in the near future to upgrade our home's 50+ year old electrical system. Photo of our new circuit breaker panel.
