>those "backstab" receptacles that electricians love to use because
they are quick and easy do not have adequate contact stength and can
overheat and cause voltage drops and a fire hazard.
Here's a weird one:
Two years ago, I bought a house that had been built in 1980, by the
folks that I bought it from. No intermediate owners. Wired with copper
wire (not aluminum). I'm replacing many of the AC receptacles because
they are so loose that a plug falls right out of them. I've never seen
that before. My previous house was built in 1970, and never had that
receptacle problem, or in any other house I've ever lived in. Maybe a
bunch of cheapy ones?
