Electrical Safety Tips for Switches and Outlets
Broken switches and outlets aren’t just nuisances; they’re also safety hazards. And once installed, an electric system won’t run perfectly forever—with time and use, electrical connections can become loose, just like all other mechanical systems.
Below are a few tips concerning the potential hazards associated with your switches and outlets.
- Check to make sure outlets and switch plates are not unusually hot to the touch. If they are, immediately unplug cords from these outlets and do not use the switches.
- Look for discoloration as another indication of potentially dangerous heat buildup at the connectors.
- Check that all outlet and switch cover plates are in good condition so that no wiring is exposed. Replace any missing, cracked or broken cover plates.
- Be sure to cover unused outlets with safety caps.
