If your electrical outlets are no longer able to hold the prongs of a plug, or simply aren’t working as well as they used to, it’s likely time to repair or replace them. Broken outlets can create serious shock and fire hazards, and should be inspected at the first sign of damage. Signs to look for include:
If an outlet sparks or smokes when an appliance is plugged into it, this is a clear sign that something is wrong. There is a good chance the outlet was exposed to water or there was a short circuit. Sparking outlets can even cause house fires, so it’s best to call a licensed electrician ASAP.
When an outlet’s cover plates become cracked, some of its wires can become exposed, which presents a shock risk and fire hazard. When this happens, do not use the outlet until it can be replaced.
Signs of discoloration can indicate overheating and a need for the outlet to be replaced.
