Often in my house, in two of the bedrooms, when I plug somethingh in white light flashes from the socket. What should I do to fix this? Am i liable to be killed????
And possibly very, very worn.Thanks for the replies. The plug sockets are very, very old so there are no on/off switches.
Have you ever noticed plugs or pins getting warm?I can plug things in withoout fear now though, so thanks
If the sockets are old, the wiring behind may also be as old. I wouldn't be so easily pleased about your installation - old wiring causes fires.The plug sockets are very, very old so there are no on/off switches.
not so fastI can plug things in withoout fear now though,
it apears you missed this bit:The plug sockets are very, very old so there are no on/off switches.
and make sure you understood this bit:Good quality plugs and sockets and switches will help!
Make sure you're using modern plugtops with black sheath halfway on each live pin.
