Electrical Buzzing Sound — Larnaca, Larnaca
Buzzing, humming, or crackling sounds coming from outlets, switches, or the electrical panel are never normal and may indicate loose wiring, an overloaded circuit, or a failing breaker. These issues pose a serious fire hazard and should be addressed immediately. Turn off the affected circuit if possible and contact a licensed electrician for a thorough inspection.
