WHY LOOSE ELECTRICAL SOCKETS ARE DANGEROUS AND HOW TO REPAIR THEM

 


Over time, electrical sockets in the home can become loose. You may notice that the box wobbles or the plug pulls out of the socket. These problems can be annoying and potentially dangerous. If you have a loose socket, you should have it repaired as soon as possible.

LOOSE SOCKETS

Loose sockets cannot be repaired. The entire socket must be replaced. These sockets can become loose after frequent use. We recommend that you contact an authorised electrician to replace the socket.

WOBBLY BOX

A loose socket is often caused by a box built too deeply into the wall. This is not a problem with the socket, but a problem with the installation of the box. If the socket box wobbles, you risk loosening the wires. In turn, loose wires can cause a fire.

CAN I REPAIR A WOBBLY BOX MYSELF?

Technically, it is possible to repair a wobbly box yourself, but the work is quite challenging, difficult or even dangerous for the inexperienced. As with all household electrical work, we advise against DIY repairs. If you are seriously considering doing it yourself, however, we strongly advise you to at least consult a professional electrician before proceeding.
