About this service
An electrical plug is the connector at the end of a cord that fits into a wall outlet to draw power for your devices. It creates the physical contact needed for electricity to flow. If your plugs feel loose when inserted, or if the prongs look charred or bent, they are not making a safe connection. Loose connections can cause arcing and heat buildup, so it is important to replace damaged plugs promptly.
