Detecting an electrical burning smell inside your house can be alarming because it often indicates a serious problem that could potentially pose fires or electrocution. Therefore, it's crucial to address these issues immediately. This guide breaks down a step-by-step process to identify and
solve this problem.
Section 1: Identifying the Source of the Burning Smell
The first step is to identify the origin of the smell.
Frequently, this is easier said than done due to the tendency of smells to disperse over large areas. However, there are some standard places to look for
which include:
Electrical outlets
Appliances
Circuit breakers / Fuse boxes
Light Switches
Wiring in the walls
Carefully sniff (without touching) to find the strongest
concentration of the burning odor.
Section 2: Reducing Risk and Safety Measures
As soon as you smell a burning odor, carry out these steps:
Step 1: Turn Off Power
Shut down the main power to the house by switching off the main circuit breaker in the electrical panel. This can reduce the chances of electrical fire should there be any faulty wiring or overheating appliances.
Step 2: Evacuate and Ventilate
Ask everyone to leave the house, especially if you see smoke or feel excessive heat from an electrical device or rough-in (e.g., outlet or switch). Open the windows to let out the smoke and the electrical burning smell.
Section 3: Troubleshoot or Call an Emergency Electrician
Step 3: Inspect Appliances and Outlets
Once it's safe and the Odor has diminished, return to the house and sniff the suspect devices.
Step 4: Check the Circuit Breakers
Inspect the circuit breaker box. If a particular circuit breaker is causing the problem, it will be unusually hot and may emit a burning smell.
