Charlottesville Outlets & Switches Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if an outlet or switch is warm to the touch?
The presence of heat in an outlet or switch suggests an overcurrent/loose wiring situation, creating a risk of overheating and fire. For safety, immediately disconnect any appliances and cease use of the affected switch. A qualified, licensed electrician should be contacted immediately for diagnosis and repair. Due to the potential danger of electrical hazards, attempting self-repair is strongly discouraged. If you are experiencing warm outlets or switches, Just Better Home Services provides emergency electrical services to resolve safety issues as soon as possible.
Is it safe to install or repair electrical outlets and switches myself?
While some basic electrical repairs might seem straightforward, working with electrical wiring can be dangerous if you're not properly trained. Incorrect wiring can lead to fires, damage to your home's electrical system, and dangerous or even deadly electrical shocks. It's highly recommended to hire a qualified electrician for any outlet or switch installation or repair.
At Just Better Home Services, we have the expertise, tools, and knowledge of electrical codes to ensure the work is done safely and correctly.
