Yes. A warm outlet is a serious safety hazard. It usually indicates a loose connection that is generating heat through electrical resistance. This can cause the outlet to overheat and potentially start a fire. If you have a warm outlet, turn off the circuit and call an electrician immediately.
Sparking outlets can be caused by loose connections, worn internal contacts, moisture, or overloaded circuits. A small spark when plugging in a device can be normal, but persistent or large sparks indicate a problem.
