5. Recommendations:
A. Check Outlets Before Use
Behind every outlet is a box with attached wires. And some of the major causes of a
short circuit are faulty wiring, loose box connections, and an aging outlet. Although diagnosing
these issues can be difficult, considering they’re hidden behind your walls, you can still help
prevent short circuits by examining your outlets before each use. There are certain signs that
indicate your outlet may be at risk of a short circuit:
 Outlet has burn marks or burning smell.
 Buzzing or popping sound coming from outlet.
 Sparks emitting from outlet.
 Outlet is over 15-25 years old.
If any of these signs apply, refrain from using the outlet and contact Roman Electric
immediately.
B. Check Appliances Before Use

Just like outlets, you’ll want to check your appliances before plugging them in as well.
Short circuits can also be caused by faulty wiring or circuitry from the appliance itself. Before
every use, check appliances for these signs:
 Damaged cords, casing, or wire.
 Several cracks in the appliance.
 Appliance has exposed circuitry.
If any of these signs apply, we recommend either disposing of or having a professional
repair your appliance.
C. Reduce Electrical Usage During Storms

One of the most dangerous ways a short circuit can happen is by a lightning strike, as
the overwhelming amount of electricity can lead to some serious damage. We recommend
reducing your electrical usage during a lighting storm to only the necessities. Not only will this
help prevent short circuits from happening during a storm – this also helps lessen the damage if
a power surge occurs.
