Description
That faceplate that feels a little warm could be trouble hiding for years. Here's the 40-minute walk that finds it: https://walt-brennan.netlify.app/
I’ve seen ordinary bathroom habits quietly damage outlets, wiring, and connections long before anyone smells smoke or sees scorched drywall. In this video, I break down five habits that can start a house fire years later—and explain why an 1,800-watt hair dryer puts so much strain on a typical 15-amp bathroom circuit.
I’ll show you how repeated high-current use, shared electrical loads, aging receptacles, and loose connections can create hidden heat inside the wall. I’ll also explain the warning signs I never ignore and the simple habits that can reduce the risk.
