A burning smell from an outlet is one of the most serious early warning signs of an electrical fire. The smell means heat is being generated inside your wall right now — this is not a situation to wait on.
When insulation around ageing or overloaded wiring degrades, the exposed wire overheats and chars — that is the smell you are noticing. It can also be caused by a loose wire connection arcing inside the outlet box. In all cases, the heat source is real and active.
If the burning smell continues after switching off the circuit — or if you see any discolouration, scorch marks, or melting around the outlet face — call us immediately. Do not wait until morning.
