Burning Smells?
ANSWER
With unusual burning smells your nose and hands are your best weapons. Nose for smelling a fault and your hands for touching switches and faceplates to find an overheat NOTE do not touch bare copper or brass connections!
Most electrical burning smells will have heat associated with them before there is actually an electrical fire. The heat is caused by an electrical overload or bad connections. Usually the overload or bad connection is at a light, switch, power outlet or switchboard. The smell can be quite sweet and may not smell like wood (although it may do if the overheat is scorching wood).
What to do.
Turn off the main switch immediately that you find a smell. Call City Electricians on 0508 248 935 or book us via our Get It Done page.
