Safety

What causes a burning smell from electrical fittings?

A burning smell from sockets, switches, or the consumer unit is a serious warning sign. Causes include overloaded circuits, loose connections arcing, faulty appliances, or degraded wiring insulation. If you smell burning from any electrical fitting, turn off the power to that circuit immediately and call a qualified electrician. Do not ignore this warning.
