SIGNS OF TROUBLE

Trouble can start at any time. Everything can seem fine and then all of a sudden a problem can show itself. Here are some things you can be on the look out for:
  •   Warm-to-the-touch face plates on receptacles, switches, dimmers, or fan controls.
  •   Flickering lights
  •   Circuits that stop working
  •   Smell of burning wire or plastic
  •   Burn marks or hot spots at receptacles, switches, dimmers, etc.
  •   Lights that get brighter or dimmer when something else if turned on
  •   Lights that seem to burn out too often
  •   Fans or appliances that do not seem to work correctly all the time
  •   Smoke, flames, or sparks
    PLEASE NOTE:
    Do not assume that if you do not have any of these signs, that everything is all right. There have been reports of failures without any prior indications or problems. Sometimes people just do not know until it is too late!
