Signs it’s time to call for outlet or light switch services
Keep an eye out for these common signs that it’s time to replace damaged electrical outlets in your El Cajon home.
Warm spots
Outlets, switches, and the areas around them should never feel hot to the touch. If you feel warmth, it’s often a sign of an electrical overload or wiring issue. You might notice this if you lay your hand on or near the outlet, or on parts of the walls in your home.
Visible damage or discoloration
Cracks and other visible damage are signs that it’s time to replace your outlet or switch. It’s also important to keep an eye out for burning or discoloration, which can appear on outlets, switches, or sections of drywall and may look brown, black, or yellowish.
Flickering lights
While a single flickering light may mean it’s time to replace the lightbulb, multiple flickering lights or problems that persist after a new bulb indicate an electrical issue. A licensed electrician can investigate and determine whether the cause is related to wiring, outlets, or switches.
Burning smells
A burning smell is a clear indication of a fire hazard. If you smell burning when you turn on a light or use an outlet, immediately turn off the light or unplug the device and shut off power to that area. Next, call for emergency electrical repairs.
Buzzing noises
Light switches and outlets should be silent when you’re using them. If you hear any unusual noises such as buzzing when you turn on the lights, it’s often a sign of an electrical issue which could lead to a fire hazard.
