FAQ

You should contact an electrician when you need any electrical done you have not had training for. Electricity is very dangerous, just because you are "comfortable" doing it doesn't mean you should.

1. Maybe a rodent or somehow the home run to the circuit got chewed up or damaged in some way shape or form.
2. Adding new appliances that require dedicated circuits in your home or just maybe you have too much on one circuit and you are overloading the one you already have.

You just push the wire in instead of curling it and wrapping it around the screw terminals and securing the screw down tight on the wire. backstabbed devices get loose connection between the crimps in the back of the device that the wire slides between and causes arcing. You can look these up on any search engine and see just how dangerous they are.
