In honor of May being electrical safety month, I want to talk about those plug adapters you get online.

We recently had a service call to a club members house that smelt burning coming from her electrical outlet. When we got there her adapter was burnt and had burnt the electrical outlet.

This is caused by overheating and arcing at the plug connection. It’s important to remember these adapters are not for High-current appliance
Devices with continuous or heavy loads that can accelerate overheating, such as:
• Space heaters
• Air fryers
• Microwaves
• Window AC units
• Hair dryers
• Portable appliances

This is a serious fire hazard because:
• Arcing temperatures can exceed thousands of degrees
• Heat can ignite surrounding materials
• Damage can spread into wiring inside the wall

Signs homeowners often notice before failure:
• Plug feels hot
• Outlet discoloration
• Crackling or buzzing
• Burning smell
• Plug falls out easily
• Intermittent appliance operation

If you experience any of these signs it’s important to call a professional electrician immediately.

THIS breaker could have burned down a home… it overheated so badly it MELTED internally.

⚡️Still running on an outdated electrical panel? How about a Federal Pacific Panel??

Older panels weren’t built to handle today’s power demands—especially with EV chargers, smart homes, and modern appliances.

And if your home has a Federal Pacific panel, there are significant dangers.

Upgrading your panel = safer home + better performance.
