Do I Need to Get This Electrical Issue Checked?

Would they wear out after six years? It doesn’t happen on a daily basis, but it does happen from time to time. Thanks for the input.

My home’s electrical was done when we renovated in 2007\. For a while now, I notice that when we turn the switches on or off, they make a snapping sound. What is this? Should I be concerned? Thanks!

It’s worth calling an electrician. Try: http://antoniocerielloelectric.com/

“snapping?” as in mechanical? Don’t most switches make a snapping sound? Maybe they’re just wearing out. Electrical faults causing arcs make a characteristically different sound. And it’s very unlikely multiple switches can do this simultaneously.
