Signs of Issues with Switches & Outlets

At Wired SC, there isn’t much we haven’t seen when it comes to failing outlets. It is quite common for outlets to become loose or start to fail over time, necessitating replacement. While replacing a simple switch may seem straightforward, a license is required to make sure the work is done correctly and safely, especially when installing complex GFCI/AFCI protection or dealing with old wiring.

Look out for these key signs that require professional intervention:

• Discolored or scorched outlets – Outlets that have turned brown or show burn marks are major red flags that indicate overheating, which is an imminent fire risk.
• Hot outlets or switches – Any switch or outlet that feels uncomfortably hot to the touch should be investigated immediately, as it signals overloading or incorrect wiring.
• Buzzing, crackling, or sizzling sounds – Electricity should flow silently; strange noises indicate loose connections, arcing, or fraying wires that can ignite nearby materials.
• Plugs that fall out easily – Worn contacts in the receptacle no longer grip the prongs firmly, which is a high-danger scenario because loose connections can cause arcing.

Our electricians can help you troubleshoot your switches and outlets and address any necessary repairs. We never upsell unless it’s required; we deliver honest solutions that make your home safer and more reliable.

Many Myrtle Beach homeowners are unaware that older electrical components may no longer meet modern safety standards. If your home has two-prong outlets, cracked faceplates, or ungrounded receptacles, replacement is highly recommended.
