Is it time to change your outlets?

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 1:58 pm

Outlets, also known as receptacles, become weak and the tension of the inner contact points won’t hold the cord plugs securely after years of use.

There are many reasons your electrical outlets could go from being handy to being scary!

For example, older homes may have receptacles which are damaged or which, otherwise, may have deteriorated over the years. For example, if even part of the outlet’s plastic faceplate broke away, the prongs of a plug could bridge from the electrical contacts to the grounded strap, resulting in electrical arcing.
Have a qualified electrician at Dan House Electric replace your damaged receptacles or those that feel hot, smoke or sparks, those with loose fitting plugs, or outlets where lamps flicker or won’t light.
