When Should I Have Academy Air Replace My Switches and Outlets?

There are a few instances when it is recommended to have your St. Louis, MO home’s switches and outlets replaced. Firstly, if your electrical outlets are no longer able to hold the prongs of a plug, it is time to have them either professionally repaired or replaced by a licensed electrician at Academy Air. Broken outlets can actually create serious shocks and fire hazards if left unattended and should be thoroughly inspected at the first sign of damage. In this event, perform a visual inspection of your outlets:

• Sparks: If an outlet begins sparking as soon as you plug an appliance into it, there is obviously something wrong with it that will require professional repair. Sparks coming from your electrical outlets are a major fire hazard as they can lead to electrical and house fires and need to be tended to by Academy Air professionals immediately.
• Smoke: Similarly, if you notice smoke coming from your electrical outlets, particularly when you plug something into the appliance, there is also a completely obvious issue with the outlet and it will require professional attention and repair from a licensed electrician at Academy Air as soon as you possibly can.
• Cracked Outlets: When an outlet’s cover plates are cracked, this means that some of its wires are exposed as well which is a massive shock risk and electrical fire hazard. This will again need to be addressed by a professional at Academy Air and do not touch or use this outlet until it is serviced and repaired by a licensed electrician.
• Discolored Outlets: Burnt marks, blacking, or discoloration on your outlets is an indication of overheating which again is an electrical fire threat. Call Academy Air right away to have the outlet serviced and repaired by a licensed electrician and do not use or touch the outlet until it has been repaired.
