par Research has shown that most homes do not adhere to recommended safety measures to avoid electric shock and fire hazards. The problems observed are generally related to poor electrical installations and a lack of supervision. Fortunately, there are some visible signs that can help us fix the problem before things get out of hand.
We have listed some dangerous factors that you should look for in your home. If you find any, be sure to fix them immediately.
1- The electrical outlets are warm to the touch
It’s common for some devices to heat up during use, but it’s not a good sign if the outlet itself gets hot as well. When the plug or socket is loose, more current must flow through the plug to the device, and this high power turns into waste heat, which makes the socket hot. If this happens to you, immediately remove the wires from the outlet and do not restart until the port is repaired.
2- Your lights blink for no apparent reason
No, you don’t live in a haunted house. Twinkling lights could be a sign of no electrical connection. To see the problem, check how many bulbs are having the same problem. If you find one bad light, then the problem must be with your wiring. But if more blinking lights appear, the problem could be more in the circuit and you should check the breaker box or service failure outside your home.
