Minimize Fire Hazards By Looking After Electrical Outlets

When properly designed, professionally installed and correctly

maintained, a residential electrical system poses a minimal risk of

causing a fire. That is in an ideal world and any homeowner knows that

the real world is far from ideal. You should always be on the lookout

for the signs of heightened fire danger in your home and knowing how to

take care of your electrical outlets is an important part of that duty.

The Risks Of Worn-Out Outlets

When they are operating properly, electrical outlets safely transmit

the current your appliances need with minimal risk. When outlets start

to wear out, they become considerably less safe. At the very end of

their life cycle, worn outlets can cause shorting and sparking but the

dangers begin long before this point. When the connections in an outlet

become loose, they can introduce resistance into the circuit made when

you plug in appliances. This resistance translates into heat and that

means a greater risk of starting a fire.

Be on the lookout for signs of looseness whenever you use an outlet. An

outlet that cannot hold a plug securely has loosened internal blades.

These can easily become hot enough to start a fire and outlets like

this should be replaced immediately. If the entire outlet is loose in

the wall, it also needs prompt attention. Over time, the play of a

loose outlet can wear away the insulation on its wiring, causing

further risk.

Smart Replacement Choices

While an outlet replacement is a fairly straightforward job, don't

overestimate your own abilities when it comes to this critical task. If

you run into conditions that fall outside your personal range of

experience, the safest choice is always to call in the professionals.

When you are replacing outlets, always use quality equipment that

carries the approval of the Underwriters' Laboratories (a UL listing).

Outlets that are installed in areas where exposure to water is likely

(outdoors, kitchens, bathrooms) should always be GFCI models. These

outlets have a built-in circuit breaker and are easily recognized by

the test/reset switch that appears between the two receptacles.

Using Outlets Safely

Even when they are in perfect working order, electrical outlets have to

be used sensibly in order to stay safe. With today's ever-expanding

array of helpful appliances and electronics, you are probably going to

want to get the most out of your outlets and plug in as much as

possible. Always check manufacturer's directions to ensure you are

using outlets properly. Many devices preclude the possibility of

plugging in other high-powered equipment on the same outlet, for

instance.

Take a moment to stay smart when you are dealing with power strips and

surge protectors. These power-extenders are invaluable with modern

electronics, but they have to be used properly. Never plug two power

strips into the same outlet and never plug one strip into another (a

risky practice known as "daisy-chaining"). You should always use surge

protectors that have an integrated circuit breaker for maximum

protection. Keep surge protectors away from wet environments and if you

feel one getting uncomfortably hot while it is operating, replace it

immediately.

When To Call In The Professionals

While you can diagnose a lot of outlet problems on your own and avoid a

lot of them by using your outlets properly, there are some problems

that are simply beyond the abilities of the ordinary homeowner. Knowing

how to recognize these issues and calling in licensed electricians to

deal with them is always the smart course of action. Whenever you know

or suspect that you have wiring issues beyond the outlet itself,

consult with an electrician to determine the proper course of action.

If you are living in or moving into an older house, it is often a good

idea to call in an electrician to give your electrical system a basic

check-up to confirm it will hold up under the rigors of modern

appliances. Older or worn-out wiring can be a serious fire hazard,

especially if you subject it to loads it was never originally designed

to handle. Upgrading your wiring may seem like a pricey job, but it is

far preferable to dealing with the aftermath of an electrical fire!

Your electrical outlets are some of the hardest-working pieces of

equipment in your electrical system. Take care of them to ensure that

you get many years of safe, reliable service out of them! Spotting a

minor issue and correcting it quickly can save you an enormous amount

of trouble down the road.
