Common Electrical Problems In A House

1
Common Electrical Problems In A House
2
 Open Ground

• This is a problem which is more common in old
  houses. The electrical outlets are not grounded
  which can be a safety hazard as it can result in
  an electric shock.

3
False Ground

• This is very difficult to detect. In this case
  neutral is connected to the ground which makes
  entire outlet hot or charged.

4
Reverse polarity

• Most three prong electrical outlets have three
  wires, Hot, Neural and Ground. If the Hot and
  neutral are reversed the condition is known as
  reverse polarity.

5
Presence of Aluminum wire in the House

• Aluminum wire in itself is not a problem. It is
  only at its termination that it requires special
  treatment or outlets to prevent oxidation and
  arching.

6
Exposed/damaged electrical wires

• Exposed wires, can cause an electric shock or
  fire. All wires must be properly spliced and
  protected within a junction box.

7
 Malfunctioning GFCI

• When a GFCI receptacle will no longer reset
  after tripping, you need to hire an electrician
  to inspect the area and possibly replace the
  outlet.

8
Electrical Tape Used in Electrical Boxes

• Over time, electrical tape can deteriorate and
  expose bare wiring which can result in a
  potential fire hazard. If the electrical boxes in
  your home use electrical tape to secure the wire
  connections, remove the tape and replace it with
  high-quality electrical wire caps.
