1. Circuit Breaker Trips:

Circuit breakers are important protective elements of power circuit. They are designed to trip off when the system is overloaded. Although they bring some sort of displeasure whenever they trip off, it is expected that they trip off every once in a while.

However, if your circuit breaker continues to trip off incessantly, it points to problems with your wiring connections in the building. It is advised to contact your local electrician to check it out.

2. Problems with Power Outlets, like Sockets:

Some of the problems with electrical outlets include:
a) Hot sockets
b) Browning or darkening of sockets
c) Sparking or shocking sockets
d) Connected appliances getting stock in the socket.
All these are signs of poor wiring. It is advised that you change the concerned socket and if these signs persist, call your electrician.

3. Burning Smell:

Any time you perceive a burning smell, like burning plastic, it is a sign that there is a faulty electrical connection in your building. Immediately put off the power source in your building and call an electrician to check for the problem. Treat this as an emergency as such little burns could escalate into something more severe.

4. Buzzing sound and Dimming of Light:

If you observe a buzzing sound in your connections, and irregular fluctuation of the intensity of your light bulbs then you should report to your electricity distribution company.

5. Power Surge and Electric Shock:

Have you ever touched your door and then it shocks you? Do you experience a continuous wave of power shock? then your wiring is faulty. Get a professional to assess the connections and do a better job for you.

In conclusion, Whenever you get any of the above-listed signs ensure to contact your local electrician.
