If you notice sparking or arcing at electrical sockets or switches, it is important to take immediate action to prevent a potential electrical fire or injury. Sparking or arcing can be caused by a variety of factors, including loose connections, damaged wiring, or faulty sockets or switches.

If you notice sparking or arcing at electrical sockets or switches, the first thing you should do is turn off the power to the affected area by switching off the circuit breaker or removing the fuse in the fuse box. This will help to prevent further damage to the electrical system and reduce the risk of an electrical fire.
