3 Signs You Need Switch and Outlet Repair

It's easy to forget about your outlets and switches because they operate in the background, but these small yet powerful fixtures provide an essential service in your home and can last for decades. While your outlet and switches are incredibly durable, they will eventually begin to show the wear and tear of regular usage.

If you notice any of the following, it may be time to replace your switch or outlet:

  • Your switch or outlet is discolored or visibly worn -
    If you notice that your outlet or faceplate has been showing some discoloration or even has some melted spots, this is a major indicator that you are in need of outlet or switch repair.
  • You see sparks when your outlet is in use - 
    If you notice sparks coming from your outlet, or see smoke, something is dangerously wrong with your outlet and you should call our expert electrical technicians as soon as possible to avoid any potentially harmful situation.
  • Your switch or outlet is warm when touched -
    When an outlet or switch is warm or feels hot to the touch, this could be due to the wiring being incorrectly installed which may be causing the wires to arc. This could potentially cause an electrical fire and it would be best to contact us as soon as you notice this.

Some of these indicators are signs of normal wear and tear, but others can alert you to possible electrical dangers with your switch or outlet. Switches and outlets can be replaced or repaired by a qualified electrician.

Upgrading to GFCI Outlets

At Travis' Electrical Services, we can also help you upgrade your older home to outlets with ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI.) These outlets provide safety upgrades to protect those in your home or office from electrical shock. GFCI outlets are standard in new homes, but many older properties have not been upgraded. 

GFCI outlets are required in areas where receptacles can come into contact with water, like bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor spaces. Our Lafayette switch and outlet specialists can ensure your outlets are upgraded and outfitted with the most current products that meet electrical code requirements.
