1. Overheating power outlets
It is normal for some devices to get hot while in use, but it is not a good sign if the power outlet is also heating up. When the plug or socket is loose, more electricity has to pass through the plug to the device, and that increased electrical power converts into heat, making the power outlet hot.
If this happens to you, immediately unplug the cord from the power outlet and do not reconnect it until the power outlet is fixed.
2. Your lights flicker for no apparent reason
Flickering lights can be a sign of loose electrical connections. To identify the problem, check to see how many lights are experiencing a similar issue. If you only find one place with dim lights, the problem lies in the wiring system. But if the flickering lights are more widespread, the issue might be within the electrical circuit.
3. Loose electrical outlets
In addition to looking messy, a loose electrical outlet can be very dangerous. If not secure enough, they can pull the wires out, causing electrical arcs, short circuits, and even fire hazards.
4. Mice around the house
If you are concerned about your electrical system and there are mice around your house, you have every reason to be worried. These small rodents can chew on your electrical wires and leave behind the risk of electric shocks or sparks.
5. Aluminum electrical wiring system
Previously, aluminum was used in many electrical wiring systems, possibly due to the copper shortage in the 1960s. However, a national survey conducted in the United States showed that this type of installation posed a fire hazard for many homes. The aluminum oxidation process can get too hot when the wires connect to junctions, outlets, and lighting fixtures. As a result, any excessive current can potentially lead to a fire.
6. Strange odor around the house
Whether you are worried about electrical wires or cookies in the oven, a burnt smell is often a bad sign. Electrical wiring should not get hot enough to melt its plastic casing, but if this occurs, you must identify the source immediately to prevent fire hazards.
