Signs You Need Electrical Outlet or Switch Replacement or Repair
It’s important for your safety and convenience that your outlets and switches are functional and reliable. You may be unsure how to tell you need professional assistance with your switches or outlets, so we’ve laid out some key signs that indicate there’s a problem requiring investigation.
Cracked or Damaged Plates
Take a look at the faceplate around your outlet or switch. If it’s cracked or showing other signs of damage, reach out to us at Absolute Services for repair or replacement. This is because a crack in the plate can expose the wires and pose a shock risk.
Discoloration or Burn Marks
The faceplates can also become discolored due to heat damage as a result of issues with wiring or overloading. You’ll need to contact a licensed electrician like those at Absolute Services to avoid potential fire.
Smoke or Sparking
A clear sign you need help with your electrical switches or outlets is if you see smoke or sparks coming from them. In the event you encounter this, cease use immediately and contact our electricians at Absolute Services. Our team can either repair or relocate your switch or outlet.
Two-Prong Outlets
This type of outlet is outdated and less safe because they don’t have a ground wire. Additionally, many appliances these days require three prongs, so it’s best you update your electrical outlets.
Wobbly or Loose Outlets
Electrical outlets shouldn’t wobble or shift when plugging something in. If it does, that means you need your outlet tightened for your safety.
Desire To Relocate Outlets or Switches
Convenient switch and outlet location can impact your satisfaction living in your home. If you’ve realized your current layout no longer makes sense for your needs, we can help you relocate them. While this can be an intense project, our experts are well-versed in the process and can move them successfully.
