Why does my outlet spark when I plug something in?
You may sometimes see sparks when you plug a device into an outlet. This is usually not causing for alarm, as it is typically harmless. However, if the sparks are accompanied by smoke or a burning smell, you should unplug the device and call an electrician.
There are several reasons why your outlet might spark when you plug something in:
- Old age
- Damaged plug
- Loose wiring connections
- Worn-out outlets
- Overloaded circuits
- Dirty or dusty contacts
Plugging in devices that require a lot of power can also cause the outlet to spark. If this happens, it is essential to unplug the device and contact an electrician. Overloaded circuits are a fire hazard and can damage your home or injure you.
