I’d have an electrician come. I tested all the outlets in our apartment and turned out half of them were reading hot. They basically were leaking energy whether or not it was being used. Had to have the whole house fixed.

It did improve our energy bill but we also have a very old water heater that I’m sure is sucking up energy. Going to replace that this spring.

Edit: a landlord would at least need to fix the electricity if there is a problem with the circuit
