Common Outlet Issues to Watch For
Outlet issues can pose major risks to your home or building. To keep your property safe it’s important to identify problems with your outlets as soon as possible to schedule repairs.
Some potential issues to watch for can include:
-
Worn-out slots: As slots wear out, the contact points lose the ability to hold the plug, which can create electrical resistance and heat. This can lead to wiring problems and could cause a circuit breaker to trip.
-
Loose wire connections: Circuit wire connections can loosen over time. If they become too loose, it can cause problems.
-
Cracks: Cracks in the body of outlets can allow dust or debris to enter the receptacle.
-
Improper rating: Make sure the outlets are appropriate for the items you are plugging into them. Otherwise, this can place too much stress on the system.
-
No ground connection: Outlets that have not been properly connected to the circuit grounding wire should be inspected and corrected by a professional.
-
Lack of AFCI or GFCI Protection: New electrical codes require that outlets in most areas of your home have arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) or ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection. If your outlets are outdated they should be replaced by a professional.
