Faults and Damages
With time, even the best quality wires, sockets and fuses deteriorate and may begin to develop faults. As wiring, fuse and sockets become old, they may cause problems such as burning, short circuits, overheating, and so on. If left uncorrected, these problems may aggravate. In order to avoid the risks that come with using faulty wiring, and damaged fuses and sockets, it is important to get them repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
Many times, we ignore or postpone getting minor electrical issues resolved. We keep using a damaged socket because it is not posing any real problem in running our electrical device. Though such minor issues may not be causing any real harm in the present, they can. To keep you and the people around you safe, when you find that a socket or a fuse is not working as it should, you may stop using it till it is repaired or replaced.
