Comprehensive electrical inspections cover electrical outlets, and a certified electrician is best equipped to detect and pinpoint specific issues. Still, property owners should do their part as well. Regularly inspect your electrical outlets for signs of trouble. Let’s talk about a few of these.
First, let’s talk about the risk of fire. Electrical outlets carry tremendous amounts of energy which, if unchecked, can cause electrical fires. Look for burn marks or discoloration, which can signify overheating, electrical arcing, or short circuits. If there are no burn marks, then touch the outlet. An outlet that feels hot or warm to the touch could indicate an underlying electrical problem, such as loose connections or overloaded circuits.
Next is the risk of poor wiring. Intermittent power or flickering lights, unusual sounds such as buzzing, crackling, or humming, and loose or worn outlets are just some tell-tale signs of this issue. Loose outlets can cause arcing, sparks, or electrical shocks and should be replaced or repaired by a qualified electrician.
Finally, there’s the case of improper outlets installed. GFCI outlets, for instance, should be installed in areas prone to moisture and wetness – such as the kitchen, bathroom, basement, and outdoors. Arrange an electrical outlet replacement if necessary.
If you want to catch up with the times, then consider upgrading your traditional outlets to smart electrical outlets. These innovative receptacles can integrate with smart home systems and even work solo. They allow users to remotely control or monitor the outlet, enabling you to turn on or turn off connected devices and appliances while simultaneously monitoring usage via a smartphone or tablet.
