Common home electrical hazards include overloaded circuits, ungrounded outlets, missing GFCI protection in wet areas, recalled panels, frayed cords, daisy-chained power strips, do-it-yourself splices, outdated knob-and-tube wiring, and ignored warm or buzzing outlets. Any one of these can start a fire or cause a serious shock if left unaddressed.
Watch for these hazards
- Outlets or switches that feel warm or buzz
- Permanent extension cord use behind furniture
- Daisy-chained power strips
- Ungrounded (two-prong) outlets near electronics
- Missing GFCIs in kitchens, baths, garages, outdoors
- Old knob-and-tube or aluminum branch wiring
- Recalled panel brands
