Burning Smell / Hot Sockets — EmergencyVolt Solutions

While we're on the way — do this now:

  1. Unplug whatever's plugged into the affected socket — do NOT touch the socket itself
  2. Turn off the breaker for that circuit at the fuse board
  3. Leave the room and close the door
  4. If you see smoke or hear crackling, call 999

A burning smell from a plug, socket, or fuse board is one of the few electrical issues you should NEVER live with. It’s almost always loose connections heating up — a precursor to fire. We treat these calls as priority-one.

What we do on arrival

  1. Isolate the affected circuit immediately
  2. Thermal-image the suspect area to find the hot spot
  3. Strip back the connection, remake or replace
  4. Test the full circuit before re-energising
  5. Issue a Minor Works cert as proof of safe repair
