A weak electrical contact can cause heating, burning smell, flickering lights, unstable appliances and short-circuit risk. The fault is often hidden in a socket, junction box or panel.
A warm outlet, darkened plug, crackling sound, burning smell, flickering lights or frequent breaker trips mean the circuit should be checked.
An electrician checks sockets, switches, junction boxes and the panel, finds the weak connection, replaces damaged contacts and rebuilds the circuit safely.
