As shown above, in these cases is it always best to consult with an electrician. He may advise you to flip a breaker or even remove the fuse for an outlet until the system is serviced.
However, if you notice warmth to the touch of the rest of the electrical switches then the circuit is overloaded.
The excessive light bulb loads with too high of a wattage meaning that some wires are too small to handle the electrical current. In another case, this means that the connections are heating up the faceplate.
While this is in mind, there are some devices which commonly go mildly warm. Furthermore, if a faceplate is too hot then it is a warning sign.
In this case, you need to cut power to the circuit in an instant. Further, check the kind of load placed on the circuit.
The other steps to do are to inspect the wiring for loose, in order to repair the broken connections.
