About this service
An electrical plug is the male connector attached to the end of a cord that fits into a wall outlet to draw power. You need a secure plug to maintain a steady flow of electricity to your electronics. If your plug feels loose in the wall, sparks when inserted, or has charred prongs, it indicates a poor connection. This can damage your devices and create a fire risk, so have an electrician check the outlet for proper tension.
