A burning smell from electrical outlets is a serious warning sign indicating overheating and acute fire risk. This problem usually arises from loose contacts, overloaded circuits or defective sockets that generate dangerous heat. The odor comes from heated plastic or insulation and requires

Damaged power lines show clear warning signs such as burns around sockets, crackling sounds and strange smells of burning plastic. Ignoring these signs can lead to fire, electrocution and costly damage to electronics. Learn how to identify the most critical warning signs and when

Changing electrical sockets safely requires the right tools and careful planning. This guide will show you step-by-step how to turn off the power correctly, what tools you need and when to contact an electrician instead. With voltage testers, insulated tools and proper safety procedures

When a fuse blows during rain, it is due to moisture entering electrical installations and creating a short circuit or earth fault. This common but potentially dangerous problem occurs when rainwater comes into contact with electrical wires, sockets or junction boxes and dramatically reduces insulation resistance.

Earthing sockets have three holes while ungrounded sockets have only two - the third hole connects to a protective conductor that diverts dangerous current in case of a fault. This crucial difference affects your electrical safety at home and which appliances you can connect safely. White goods,

When the electrical outlet in the bathroom stops working, it is usually because the earth leakage circuit breaker has tripped to protect you from electrical accidents. Moisture and steam in bathrooms trigger this safety device, which reacts to fault current and water splashes. You can reset the RCD yourself

Sparks from electrical outlets may be normal when switching on and off, but continuous sparks, burns or smell of burning signal dangerous electrical faults that require immediate attention. Small sparks from appliances with high power consumption are common and harmless, while large spontaneous sparks

Not sure how many outlets you can have on the same fuse? A 16A fuse can theoretically handle multiple outlets, but the key is that the total load does not exceed 3500 watts. Learn how to calculate fuse loads, recognize warning signs like repeated tripping and heat build-up,

Installing spotlights in the ceiling requires the right preparation and safety awareness. This guide will show you exactly what tools you need, how to check power supplies safely and connect cables according to Swedish color coding. You will also learn when it is time to hire

Changing a ceiling light safely requires the right tools and careful preparation. Always turn off the power at the fuse box and use voltage testers to check that the circuit is de-energized. With insulated screwdrivers, a sturdy ladder and basic electrical safety knowledge, most lamp replacements can be done yourself.
