So sad.make sure yoyr wiring is up to code. Call a licensed electrician for an estimate. A lot of these home were no built for these smart T.Vs.nor the out let's that are being overloaded with surge plugs, they result in wall fires from the overload. W Most have older homes and not the proper circuit breakers, which lead to ok verloads
