What Causes Faults In The Power Points And Light Switches?
Simply put, a fault in your power point or light switch occurs when the current flow in its circuit gets disrupted. This disruption, in turn, may be caused by any one of the reasons mentioned below:
- Old Wiring
- Broken or melted wires
- Tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses
- Circuit overloads
- Low-quality wiring
Once the circuits to your light switches and power points get disrupted, using them is unsafe, as there is a risk of electrical hazards.
One way to avoid such issues is to monitor and replace your fixtures periodically. For this purpose, you can contact the experts at Pro Electrical, who can get this done without any trouble.

The most obvious sign of a defective fixture is its refusal to turn on. Apart from that, other signs indicate such faults, which include:
- Weird crackling or buzzing noises from the fixture
- Switches and power points becoming overheated
