Loose Outlets

A faulty outlet or receptacle in your home can put you at risk for a variety of potentially fatal electrical problems. According to research, electrical receptacles are involved in 5,300 fires each year, resulting in 45 deaths and more than 100 injuries.

Because faulty outlets disrupt the flow of electricity, they can also cause arcing, which poses a serious risk of electrocution and a fire hazard. A loose power outlet, like all of the other warning signs mentioned in this article, is a serious problem. If you are not comfortable dealing with this problem yourself, you should contact an electrician right away.
