When To Replace Your Wiring
Is your home’s wiring starting to malfunction? You might be wondering if you should call for repairs or if it needs to be replaced. While an electrician needs to inspect the wiring to make the determination, there are some signs you can watch for that can indicate you need to replace it:
- Bad connections. These can pose a potential fire risk.
- The lights dim or brighten periodically.
- The lights flicker. This can signal a possible connection issue.
- You smell burning plastic.
- There are visible sparks, flames, or smoke.
- The wires are overheating.
- You notice scorching around or behind the faceplate. The plate may also be hot to the touch.
