What Causes Outlets & Switches To Fail?
Most outlets and switches will last for decades, but they’ll eventually fail. Some of the most common reasons for this failure include:
- Age: Older plastics in outlets or switches can break down with age, allowing the housing to crack and expose the metal contacts within.
- Mechanical wear: After years of inserting and removing plugs or turning a switch on and off, the metallic springs inside can wear out and fail. This can let plugs easily slip out of the outlets or prevent switches from engaging in the on or off position.
- Backstabbed wires: Many residential-grade outlets feature terminals in the rear where a bare wire can be inserted to create a connection. With time, these connections can loosen, causing arcing, overheating, or even fires.
- Loose terminals: Even when more robust screw terminals are used, the connections can loosen with heat cycling, especially if they weren’t tightened properly to begin with. This can increase resistance in the wiring and cause overheating, arcing, or even a fire.
In addition to outlet and switch repairs, our team at Metro Express Service also offers wiring and rewiring services, electrical inspections, and more.
