3 Commonly Overlooked Household Electrical Issues
Just like your car’s brake pads wear out and need to be replaced after years of constant use, electrical components can wear out over time. Below are three common electrical issues people overlook – not realizing they are putting their safety at risk.
Loose outlets:
Have you noticed cords are way too easy to unplug or are falling out of your outlets on their own? As the metal plugs grind against the metal terminals inside your outlets, the connection becomes loose. This creates an electrical resistance between your appliance and the outlet, and it can lead to shock or fire ignition.
Noisy ceiling fans:
If your fan rocks back and forth against your ceiling, makes a knocking noise or won’t change speeds, it’s time to have it checked. These problems can stem from faulty parts or incorrect installation, and they may lead to your fan falling from the ceiling.
Frequently tripped breakers:
A breaker will trip if the electrical load on the circuit is too much for it to handle. As technology has advanced, homes need more circuits to handle the amount of electricity used in modern appliances. If plugging your appliances into different outlets still trips your breakers, it may be time for an electrical panel upgrade.
