Electrical Warning Signs Every Homeowner Should Know

Signs that call for a licensed electrician.

Warm or buzzing outlets

Outlets and switch plates should never feel hot or make noise.

Flickering lights

Occasional flicker can be a bulb. Frequent flicker across rooms can mean a wiring issue.

Burning smell

Turn off power to that area at the panel if it's safe and call a professional right away.
