Check for Faulty Wiring

Old or damaged wiring can be a significant safety hazard, potentially leading to electrical fires. Faulty wiring is often hidden behind walls, so it’s important to look out for subtle signs that something might be wrong.

What to Watch For:

• Dim or Flickering Lights: Lights that flicker or are dimmer than usual could be the result of faulty wiring.

• Sparks from Outlets: If sparks fly when you plug something into an outlet, this could be a sign of worn or damaged wiring.

• Burning Odor: A burning smell coming from electrical outlets or appliances can be a sign of overheating or faulty wiring.

Tip:

If you notice any of these signs, don’t attempt to fix it yourself. Faulty wiring requires a licensed electrician to assess and repair it
