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.
