Signs You Need to Replace Your Electrical Outlets

Most people use the same outlets that came with the house. However, if your home is over 50 years old, they may need to be replaced. Here are the most common signs your outlets need to be updated.

  • Lack of GFCI Outlets
    GFCI outlets can save your life in areas with water and electricity. Suppose you don’t have GFCI outlets in the kitchen, laundry room, bathroom, or other place where water and electricity mix. Call an expert electrician like Woodfin – Your Home Team for an upgrade as soon as possible.
  • Burn Marks
    If your outlets show signs of discoloration or burns, it means they’re overheating, which is a safety hazard.
  • Sparks
    Visible sparks when plugging or unplugging devices indicate a short circuit or other issue that could be dangerous if left alone.
  • Shocks
    Even a mild shock or tingle when touching an outlet or plugged-in device is a serious situation you shouldn’t ignore.
  • Two-Pronged Outlets
    Two-pronged outlets or outlets without a ground are standard in older homes, but they’re outdated and must be replaced. Grounded outlets have the necessary ground wire to protect you from electrical surges and shocks.

Richmond Child Proof Outlets Services

Child proof outlets, or tamper-resistant outlets, are electrical outlets designed to prevent kids from inserting objects and potentially getting shocked or electrocuted.

If you have children ages six months to four years, it’s recommended you install child proof outlets. These outlets have a shutter mechanism requiring equal pressure on both sides to open, making it difficult for children to shove a foreign object.

Children are mobile and curious about their environment during these ages, but not old enough to understand the dangers of electrical outlets and inserting objects into them. They also provide extra protection for older kids who don’t comprehend how dangerous electricity is.

While installing these outlets can help, they’re not a substitute for supervising your kids around outlets and teaching them the dangers as they grow. For professional child proof outlets repairs and installations in Richmond, VA, trust Woodfin – Your Home Team.
