Households with a fuse box told not to ignore this smell
A fishy smell in a home can indicate overheating electrical components caused by loose or faulty connections, posing an immediate fire risk. Electrician James Harrison warns that the odour often comes from degrading bakelite in sockets, switches or fuse boards due to arcing. Homeowners are urged to switch off mains power and contact a qualified electrician if the smell occurs. Regular Electrical Installation Condition Reports every five years and avoiding overloaded sockets are recommended to prevent electrical faults.
